Record Number Of Inmates Sent To Po Leung Kuk
A considerable increase' In the number of inmates, brought about by the sudden growth of the population of the Colony, was mentioned in the reports of Mr. Au Siu-cho and Mr. Chan Kam-po, past and present Chairmen respectively of the Po Leung Kuk, which were submitted to His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote at a reception held at Govern. ment House on Tuesday.
Mr. Au reported that of the 508 cases handled during 1937 most of them were in connection with mul-tsai. Women and children admitted during the year numbered 558, of whom 438 were later went away.
The report of Mr. Chan dealt chiefly with the heavy expenses incurred in consequence of the record number of inmates admitted. He said that in 1937 the number of Inmates averaged from 90 to 100 per day at its highest but since he and his Committee took over the management at the beginning of this year the gure had been doubled.
