Report on the work of the Po Leung Kuk for the year 1914.
The following gentlemen were elected in March to serve as the Managing Committee for the year :—
Chau Cheuk-fan,
Cheuk Iu-fung,
Li Sui-kam,
Ng Wai-chi,
Yu To-shang, Lo Cheung-shiu,
Wong Iu-tung,
Ip Lan-chuen,
Un Ying-shan,
Fung Ping-shan,
Chiu Hang-on,
Kwan Chung-fong.
The number of inmates in the Po Leung Kuk on January 1st, 1914, was 62 and 435 persons were admitted during the year—as against 635 in 1913. The circumstances of their admission and the action taken in regard to them are set out in Table A.
111 women and girls were committed under warrant, and 295 were admitted without warrant; of the remainder 18 were lost children and 7 runaway maid-servants.
On leaving the Kuk 153 women and girls were restored to their husbands or other relatives; 10 were sent to Charitable Institutions in China; 37 were given in adoption and 23 married. The number released under bond was 10; 8 cases were sent to the Eyre Refuge, Italian Convent or Victoria Home. The number of inmates remaining in the Kuk on the 31st December was 41.
The income and expenditure during the year, and the assets and liabilities of the institution are set out in Tables B and C attached.
The accounts of the Managing Committee in the customary form have again been audited by Messrs. Chiu Chau-sam and Li Yau-tsun. The balance to the credit of the Society at the end of the year was $17,855 as compared with $16,912 at the end of 1913. This satisfactory increase is due to larger subscriptions and to the decrease in expenditure ($8,200 only against $9,500 in 1913) which the elected Committee found it possible to effect owing to the smaller number of inmates in the Kuk.
The institution was visited monthly by Justices of Peace, Messrs. Chau Siu-ki and J. F. Wright, who on no occasion found cause for adverse comment. The average monthly number of inmates was 46.
