A $2,500 DONATION TO CHIK KENG VILLAGE
Mr. Edward Nichols, Director of Agriculture and Fisheries and
Registrar of Co-operative Societies, has donated a cheque for $2,554.32 to
the Sai Kung (North) Chik Keng Village for the maintenance and repairs of
ita water supply scheme.
The donation was received by Mr. Chiu Man-ching and Mr. Cheng Tin-fook,
representatives of the village.
The money came from the surplus remaining upon the liquidation of
the former Sai Kung (North) Chik Keng Village Pig Rasing Co-operative Society,
Ltd.
The co-operative society was registered in 1955 and went into voluntary
dissolution in 1972 as pig-raising had declined in this area.
Due to the good management of the Society, a surplus remained after
all its liabilities had been met.
The Registrar of Co-operative Societies is empowered by the
Co-operative Societies Ordinance to use the remaining surplus for any
co-operative purpose at his discretion.
On the recommendation of the former members of the Society, the
Registrar decided to donate the money to the Chik Keng Village for the
Maintenance of water pipes.
