The liberality with which they have subscribed to the relief fund, are most praiseworthy. I note with great pleasure Sir In. Nathan's testimony to the admirable work of Sir Paul Chater, Messrs. Hewett, Stunier, Brewin, and Fung Wa Chun, and the other members of the Relief Committees have done, and I think the Government is greatly indebted to these gentlemen for their services.
3. I cordially approve the proposal that the money which the Government had pledged itself to contribute to the relief fund should be expended upon the prompt commencement of a new typhoon refuge at Mong Kok Tsui.
