CORRESPONDENCE.
Street Sleepers.
[To The Editor of Hongkong Telegraph.]
Sir,-As long ago na Decomber 1928, a meeting was held at Govern ment House to discuss, among other things, means whereby the poor street sleepers might be better sheltered from the wintry weather cover under and might have a which to sleep. Among those pre- Mrs. sent at that meeting were Southern and Mrs. Creasy, and it tho was then decided to refer matter to the Chairman of tho Tung Wa Hospital, the Rev. Mr. Halward undertaking place all
his knowledge of the matter be- fere the Committee of the Tung! Wa Hospital, when required. It was further decided to reserve $500 from a fund to be used when a workable scheme was formulated to cure this distressing problem. Since then nothing more was heard about this matter, and though the ceusus taken by members of the St. Peter's Church Young Men's Club a few years ago showed huge figure of street sleepers, ao far nothing has been done to better their conditions. It would be interesting to know what does the Tung Wa Hospital propose to do for these unfortunate people: who are compelled through
