Each claim was made the subject of two distinct enquiries by two or more members of the Investigating Committee; the individual recommendations were then revised by the Committee and systematized, and finally at the actual distribution, occasion was taken to verify the claims.
4. By the 23rd October, 302 cases had been relieved at a cost of $40,302.
5. On the 24th October the powers of the Sub-Committee were further defined at a meeting of the General Committee.
6. On the 1st November it was resolved that no grant should be made towards building a boat unless security could be given that the boat would be built before China New Year (13th February).
7. During November searching enquiries were made by the Sub-Committee into claims made by masters of junks and large fishing boats, and a report was finally adopted recommending the General Committee to approve of grants in the case of 272 such claims.
8. By the 21st January the distribution of relief to Chinese was completed, though subsequently one claim from a European was met by a grant.
9. As each boat is completed the master has it measured, and the certificate is endorsed by the Inspector who made the measurements to show whether the boat is a new one, or from some other port or simply repaired, and the surety's bond is then cancelled. There remains about 350 bonds to be dealt with, but in connection with this work no expense will fall on the fund.
