RECE Rece 13 APR 10,

I have today visited site applied for by the
Committee of the Tung Wa Hospital for the purpose of erecting
quarters for the temporary accommodation of destitutes; it is
situated to the South of the Tung Wah Hospital and between that
institution and Hospital Road, the greater part of the area is
very steep but the portion immediately adjoining the Hospital
is suitable for building. The only objection to the grant of
the site is the fact that there is at present a Government
Latrine on the area which would have to be removed. A latrine
is certainly necessary in the vicinity as the present one is
largely used by the people living in Upper Rutter Street and
by the frequenters of the Tung Hing Theatre.
It would be possible to re-erect this
latrine on a portion of the vacant ground adjoining Fuk On Lane
and below the retaining wall supporting Rutter Street, but
assuming that the old materials were re-used it would cost
between $2,000 and $3,000 to reconstruct on new site. The
construction of a latrine on the site mentioned would depreciate
the value of the building sites between Pound Lane and Fuk On
Lane, but I do not think there is likely to be any great demand
for this land for many years owing to its awkward situation. I
attach a small tracing shewing site applied for and possible
site for new latrine. The Tung Wa Hospital Committee are not
prepared to defray the cost of shifting the latrine which they
wish to be borne by Government.
The value of the land is approximately as
follows:*
Area.....*
..12,536 Square Feet.
Premium................
..12,536 s.f. at 20 cents per s.f...$2,507.
Crown Rent...12,536 s.f. at $500 per acre
per annum equals $144 at 7% or 14
years purchase.
