Translation from English into Chinese.
The total number of translations done by the Translator was thus 1,002 as against 792 in 1923, 758 in 1922, and 608 in 1921.
61. In addition, a large number of translations made in other Government Departments are sent to this office for revision. Much translation work is done by members of the staff other than the Translator, but of this no record is kept.
CHINESE RECREATION GROUND.
(Table XXIII.)
62. The income from stalls was $3,342 (in 1923 it was also $3,342.) The Ground continued to make a contribution of $100 a month to the funds of the Tsan Yuk Hospital.
PASSAGE MONEY FUND.
(Table XXIV.)
63. The net income of the Fund was $528 and the total expenditure $602 as compared with $640 and $482 last year.
RENT ORDINANCE.
For the first few months of the year the nature and numbers of the rent cases remained the same as in the latter part of 1923.
Tenants on receipt of a notice to quit issued by the landlord, almost invariably consulted this office on the legality of the notice. The notices frequently failed to conform to the requirements of the Rents Ordinance 1922-23.
Throughout the year, cases arising from the demolition of party walls were numerous, but were generally settled amicably by arrangement between the tenant of the adjoining house, his landlord, and the landlord of the house to be demolished and rebuilt.
