I have the honour to transmit the
enclosed copy of translation of an application made by the
Street Committee of the quarter of the town in which Sir
Henry Blake carried out the experiment recorded in the
Memorandum forwarded in his Despatch No. 403 of 21st.
August, 1903, praying for the free grant of a piece of
Crown Land upon which to build a permanent District Plague
Hospital.
2.
It will be remembered that in the
Estimates for the years 1904 and 1905 $20,944 were voted
for the maintenance by the Sanitary Department of District
Plague Hospitals and that in the Estimates for 1906 a sum
of $8,872 was so voted.
Under the system inaugurated by
Sir Henry Blake of allowing the Chinese themselves to
establish and maintain their own District Plague Hospitals
RIGHT HONOURABLE
