During 1924, the general health of Police throughout the Northern District of the New Territory was not good, due mainly to the prevalence of malaria which affected all ranks and the Wei Hai Wei Police in particular.
At certain stations-notably Sha Tau Kok, Sha Tin New Station, Ta Ku Ling and Castle Peak-fever was particularly virulent and persistent, refusing to yield to quinine although the latter was issued freely and in strict accordance with medical instructions. At one period of the year-September-90% of the Police at Sha Tau Kok were down with malaria.
The total admissions to hospital from all stations during the year was 403 and the total number of fever cases treated in station, 530.

(b) To provide efficient wire netting for the windows and doors at Sha Tau Kok, Ta Ku Ling, and Sha Tin Stations.
