JOINT REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL CIVIL MEDICAL OFFICER AND THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
AREA.
The Sanitary Board's control extends over the island of Hong-kong which has an area of about 32 square miles, and to that portion of the mainland between the shore and the range of Kowloon Hills extending from the village of Tseung Kwan O in Junk Bay on the East to the village of Kau Pa Kang on the west, with a seaboard of about 13 miles and an area of about 16 square miles.
This area includes "Old Kowloon" which has been British since 1861, and has an area of about 23 square miles is incorrect, it should be the total area of Kowloon mentioned previously (about 16 square miles), and a portion of the New Territories, leased to this Government in 1898.
The remainder of the New Territories, about 266 square miles, is outside the Board's jurisdiction.
The City of Victoria, situated on the northern side of the island, has a frontage on the sea of nearly five miles, and is separated by the Harbour from the Kowloon portion of the Colony.
The domestic buildings in Victoria number 10,354 (excluding barracks and Police Stations) of which 1,011 are non-Chinese; there are also 186 dwellings in the Hill District. The number of houses completed during the year was as follows: Victoria 153, Kowloon 265, Outlying Districts and Peak 1, making a total of 419 as compared with 406 in 1918, in addition to miscellaneous buildings to the number of 104 (36 in 1918). These comprised offices, godowns, etc.
ADMINISTRATION.
The City of Victoria is divided into ten principal Health Districts and Old Kowloon into three such with an inspector in charge of each. It has recently been found necessary to sub-divide four of these Health Districts in Victoria into two sub-districts each so that actually fourteen Health Districts exist in the City of Victoria.
In addition, four inspectors are engaged in supervising scavenging and conservancy and the upkeep of dust carts, boats, etc., used for this work.
In the outlying districts, sanitary work is supervised by the Police Officers of the districts except in Shaukiwan where the work is done in connection with that of No. 1 Health District.
The Inspectors in Hongkong work under the supervision of the Medical Officer of Health and in Kowloon under that of the Assistant Medical Officer of Health.
