The Benevolent Society would only make itself responsible to the Home for the number of destitutes guaranteed by the subscribers. Suppose that ten subscribers guaranteed on an average to pay for the stay at the Home of two distressed seamen. The Society would know that during the year it could draw on funds to pay for twenty men in all. It would keep the roster of the guarantors and call on them in succession to pay for the men that were admit-
ted in succession to the Home.
It would thus merely furnish the machinery by which the scheme would be worked inde- pendently of the other work of the Society. It is, no doubt, true that it would be simpler for the superintendent of the Home to himself do the work I suggest should be entrusted to your Society. But it seems to me that that Society has better opportunities for making the scheme known and for getting people to become guarantors. Besides, its members have formed themselves into body "for the purpose of rendering assistance in cases of......distress in the Colony among persons other than the Chinese or Portuguese communities" and will probably look upon it as their right and pri- vilege to take part in any scheme which has this end in view,
If the scheine commends itself to you, will you kindly put it before the Society? If it is adopted I should be willing to become respon- sible for five cases admitted to the Home in the course of the year, 1.e., a¤ E guarantor.

The works at Kowloon cover a space of 146,000 square feet, while those at West Point and at Wanchai occupy between eight and ten acres. The general business of carrying out the recent extensions was performed by the Company's clerk of works, Mr, Winter.
In Kowloon the number of consumers in 1903, when Mr. McCubbin took charge, was- Europeans, 121; Chinese, 35—a total of 151. In 1994 the numbers were-Europeans, 170; Chinese 58-a total of 728, showing an increase of 77, and as Kowloon is developing in every direction the increase may be expected to go on at a still greater pace in the future. 'In Kowloon the make of gas in 1900 was 6,071,800 cubic feet; in 1904 it was 10,101,000 cubic feet.
