HOUSE CLEANSING.
The routine work of house-cleansing under the Prevention and Mitigation of Epidemic disease by-laws was carried out as usual during the year.
The total number of floors cleansed was 68,366 for Hongkong and 28,046 for Kowloon.
The drop in the numbers, as compared with those of 1919, is due to the abnormally wet season which necessitated the suspension of house cleansing on a great number of days.
LIMEWASHING.
The usual limewashing required by the Domestic Cleanliness and Ventilation By-laws was carried out during the year. The Board approved of a scheme allowing owners the option of doing the work themselves or putting it into the hands of the Department on payment in advance of a fixed charge. A short trial only was given during the year, and a small number of owners only left the work to the Department. It is, however, hoped gradually to reduce the charge and to attract more owners.
The total number of houses limewashed was 4,199. Of these 202 were done by the Board at the owners' cost owing to the owners' failure to comply with the requirements of the By-law.
