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.
Ambulances from the Disinfecting Stations and Branch Stations were used 661 times in Hongkong and 261 times in Kowloon.
ADULTERATION OF FOOD AND DRUGS.
Thirty-four samples of fresh milk were taken for analysis during the year all of which were found to be genuine. One sample of condensed milk and four samples of bread were analysed; the milk was found to be spoiled and the consignment was condemned, while the bread was genuine.
A number of tins and bottles of preserves and sweets, and a small quantity of flour which had become unsound were seized and destroyed. The purity of alcoholic liquors is dealt with by the police, who periodically submit samples for analysis.
