65. The total number of translations done by the translator was thus 675 as compared with 813 in 1913 and 726 in 1912.
In addition, a large number of translations made in other Government Departments are sent to this Office to be checked and revised and a considerable amount of translation work, of which no record is kept, is done by members of the staff other than the translator.
CHINESE RECREATION GROUND.
(Table XXI.)
66. The Chinese Recreation Ground, a valuable open site in Hollywood Road, was definitely by Ordinance (No. 33 of 1914) devoted to the purpose for which it has long been used. A number of minor irregularities in its regulation were corrected; and the ground itself overhauled and the buildings repaired at a cost of some $4,000, paid from the accumulated savings of the rents derived from the stalls on the ground.
The balance to the credit of the Fund at the end of the year was thus reduced to $4,404 as compared with $7,745 on January 1st.
The income during the year from the rent of stalls was $1,494.
PASSAGE MONEY FUND.
(Table XXII.)
67. The net income of the Fund was $337, and the total expenditure, which included no unusual items beyond an increase in the amount of gratuities to destitutes from abroad, was $386.
The balance at the end of the year was thus slightly reduced from $2,265 to $2,216.
REGULATION OF CLUBS AND SOCIETIES.
Ordinance No. 47 of 1911.
68. During the year 37 applications for registration or exemption from registration under the Ordinance were received and considered. 18 clubs and societies were exempted from registration by notice in the Gazette, while 5 were required to register. In 9 cases permission to register was refused on the grounds specified in Section 4 of the Ordinance; 6 clubs were found to comprise less than 10 members and did not therefore come under the Ordinance; while in the remaining 5 cases no action was taken and the clubs concerned voluntarily dissolved. The 3 associations that were refused permission to register were all in the nature of pseudo and undesirable trade guilds.
