The funds of the Club to date are $2,523.52.
The employed boys are encouraged to save part of their salaries with the result to date they have saved $128.14, 1 boy has $40.34 in the Bank, another $35.24, others have smaller sums.
The boys are supplied with 2 meals per diem for which they pay themselves. This arrangement has proved quite a success. It insures that they have regular meals.
During the Summer months the Boys attended Kennedy Town bathing beach regularly every week for swimming. 8 boys took part in the Police Aquatic Sports held at the V.R.C. Baths in September. During the Winter months hot baths are provided regularly at Police Headquarters.
During the year the Club Premises were moved from Police Headquarters to the top floor of No. 40 Hollywood Road not far from Police Headquarters. The new premises were rented to the Club by Mr. Chung Shu Cheung for 3 months rent free and are now occupied at half rent as long as the Club occupies them. A Chinese Sergeant together with his wife reside on the premises and attend to the welfare of the Boys.
It is significant that the average number of juvenile offenders in Victoria Gaol during 1926 and 1927 was only 5.
