There were no cases treated at Kowloon City.
The Government having presented the kai fong of West Point with the piece of land held under Inland Lot No. 1,793 for a permanent local plague hospital, a contract has been placed for the erection of a suitable building, which is now under construction, the estimated cost being $8,700.

The collection of funds for a permanent plague hospital for East Point is being conducted by the Registrar General. The site for a building has been selected, and at the end of the year the purchase was being concluded. At the close of the year the balance in the hands of the Registrar General on this account was $7,292.

This fund is considerably poorer than it was a year ago, the main difference being due to the lessened receipts under heading Passage Money.
