Owing to the public spirit of Mrs. D. C. Aubrey and Miss Phoebe May, the Assistant Superintendent, Mr. H. Green, was allowed to leave the Colony on military service on the 15th March.
Mrs. Aubrey and Miss May were appointed First and Second Assistant Superintendents respectively on Mr. Green's departure and it is very gratifying to be able to record that they have carried out their duties in a most enthusiastic and wholehearted manner and have rendered very great assistance to the Department.
Miss May, much to my regret, felt compelled through force of circumstances to resign her post on the 21st November.
Mr. Tsoi Wa-cheung, who had been Head Clerk in this Department for 10 years, was transferred on promotion to the Imports and Exports Department on the 31st March.
Mr. Leung Pat-ming, from the Police Department, was appointed to succeed Mr. Tsoi on the 1st April but was dismissed from the service on the 2nd October.
Mr. Chung King-pui succeeded Mr. Leung Pat-ming and commenced his duties on the 15th November.
Mr. Mak Kun, Second Clerk, performed the duties of First Clerk in a satisfactory manner from 3rd October to 14th November.
Mr. Mak is to be commended for the promptitude with which, on several occasions, during my absence from the office, he despatched coolies to extinguish hill fires on receiving notification of the fires by telephone.
Mr. Un Kam-po, Assistant Head Forester, who had been in the Department 9 years, resigned his post on the 31st December.
