The following gentlemen were elected in March to serve as the Managing Committee for the year:
Lo Kit-ping, Lai Tsau-tam, Chan Shut-ngan,
Lo Shia-hoi,
Fu Yik-pang,
Yung Tsz-ming,
Yuen Man-chun, Kwan Fuk-ng, U Pan-nam, Yeung Ching-shek, Wong Mau-lam

The number of inmates in the Po Leung Kuk on January 1st, 1916, was 75 and 590 persons were admitted during the year as against 526 in 1915. The circumstances of their admission and the action taken in regard to them are set out in Table A,
Three hundred and two (302) women and girls were committed under warrant and 216 were admitted without warrant. Of the remainder 42 were lost children, 3 were accompanied by parent or guardian, and 27 were runaway maid-servants.
On leaving the Kuk 165 women and girls were restored to their husbands or other relatives; 42 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 21 were given in adoption, and 15 married. The number released under bond was 4; 9 cases were sent to the Eyre Refuge, Italian Convent, or Victoria Home; and 1 was sent home by the French Consul. The number of inmates remaining in the Kuk on the 31st December was 78.
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 $19,742 as compared with $19,230 at the end of 1915.
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 63.
The matron reports favourably on the conduct, health, and industry of the inmates during the year. There were 92 cases of sickness, of which 44 were sent to the Tung Wa Hospital for treatment, and of these 3 died.
