Separate baths, with an ample supply of hot water, are furnished at each of these bath-houses—that at Wanchai is for men only, and is largely used by the coal coolies engaged in coaling ships in the Harbour, and that at Second Street is also for men and boys only. The Pound Lane bath-house has separate buildings for men and for women and children, and the Sheung Fung Lane bath-house is for women and children only.
AMBULANCE SERVICE.
A complete ambulance service has been established throughout the City, and ambulances can now be procured not only at any hour of the night or day by telephoning (No. 363) to the Disinfecting Station, Taipingshan, but additional ones have been stationed at the following places for use by the Police in all cases of emergency:—
The Bay View Police Station.
No. 1 Police Station.
The Recreation Ground, Happy Valley.
Eastern District Sanitary Matshed (near No. 2 Police Station).
The Sailors' and Soldiers' Home, Arsenal Street.
The City Hall.
The Supreme Court.
The Central Police Station.
The Fire Brigade Station, Queen's Road Central.
The New Western Market.
The Tung Wa Hospital.
The entrance gate in Queen's Road West to the Government Civil Hospital.
The Western District Sanitary Office.
The Cattle Depôt, Kennedy Town.
Outside the City limits ambulances have also been stationed at the Pokfulam Police Station, at No. 6 Police Station, Peak, at Aberdeen, Shaukiwan and Stanley Police Stations, at the Water Police Station at Tsim-sha-tsui and at the Kowloon-Canton Railway camps. The Kowloon Disinfecting Station (Telephone No. 44 K.) also serves Kowloon in the same manner that the City is served by the Taipingshan Disinfecting Station.
These are all hand ambulances on bicycle or light wooden wheels, with rubber tyres, and of the St. John Ambulance pattern. Those stationed in the City are in the charge of the various District Inspectors, whose duty it is to see that they are kept clean and efficient, and that they are disinfected after use. At the Sanitary Stations coolies are always available for the conveyance of these ambulances, but at the other stations the Police obtain volunteers or engage street coolies for this purpose, while if the ambulance has been soiled or used for an infectious case, the Sanitary Department is notified so that it may be cleansed and disinfected at once.
