Report on the work of the Po Leung Kuk for the year 1915.
The following gentlemen were elected in March to serve as the Managing Committee for the year :-
Wu Chu-wan, Lam Heung-lun, Lo Chung-kui, Tong Yat-chun, Tam Pak-shiu,
Tse Yam-chi,
Lau Tak-po,
Ho Iu,
Chan Shiu-ha,
Ip Li-kong,
Un Wan-kin,
Chan Cheuk-hing.
The number of inmates in the Po Leung Kuk on January 1st, 1915, was 41 and 526 persons were admitted during the year as against 435 in 1914. The circumstances of their admission and the action taken in regard to them are set out in Table A.
One hundred and sixty-eight (168) women and girls were committed under warrant and 309 were admitted without warrant. Of the remainder 23 were lost children, 10 were accompanied by parent or guardian, and 8 were runaway maid-servants.
On leaving the Kuk 143 women and girls were restored to their husbands or other relatives; 44 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 48 were given in adoption, and 16 married. The number released under bond was 4; 3 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 75.
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 $19,230 as compared with $17,855 at the end of 1914. The increase is mainly due to the increase in subscriptions—notably from the Guilds. At the same time, in spite of the larger number dealt with, the economy of the Committee has kept the expenditure down to within $100 of the figure for 1914; and they are to be congratulated upon the successful issue of their work.
The institution was visited monthly by Justices of the Peace, Messrs. A. Mackenzie and Chow Siu-ki, who on no occasion found cause for adverse comment. The average monthly number of inmates was 60.
