It will be noticed that considerable
additions have been made to the Report this year as compared
with those of preceding years. A more detailed account is given
of the work done by the Registrar-General in his capacity of
Protector of Chinese. The tables dealing with the subject of
the protection of women and girls have been re-arranged and
considerably enlarged. Tables showing the number of boats of
various classes licensed by the Department, the work done under
the Vaccination Ordinance, the changes of Chinese tenancy during
the year, and the various articles sold by hawkers in the
Colony, have been added. It would be an advantage if the bulk
of the report could be reduced without taking away from the
information it contains. Attention will be paid to this in
next year's compilation.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
M. Nathan
Governor, &0.......
