In addition the following samples of Food and Drugs were taken :-
Bread 85; flour 33; butter 39; cheese 19; coffee 70; tea 55; sugar 58; bean curd, lard, etc. 39; vinegar 6; oils 7.
Prosecutions were undertaken in 8 cases where the samples failed to satisfy the legal requirements.
There were no food stuffs seized and ordered to be destroyed under Section 83 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance.
7.-VACCINATION.
Under the Vaccination Ordinance, No. 12 of 1923, all Public Vaccinators are under the control of the Principal Civil Medical Officer, who is the Superintendent of Vaccination. As Registrar of Births, the Head of the Sanitary Department is responsible for ensuring the vaccination of all children whose births are registered, and Appendix H shows the results of action so taken.
8. SCAVENGING.
Approximately 323 tons of refuse were received daily at the refuse depots from the City of Victoria, Hill District, Shaukiwan, Quarry Bay and Kowloon Peninsula. About 5 tons daily were collected from Kowloon City and dumped on waste ground. The cost of the service in Hong Kong (including Shaukiwan and Quarry Bay) and Kowloon is shown in Appendix I attached. Table (iii) shows a comparison with last year.
There are now 15 refuse-lorries in use, 11 being used in Hong Kong and 4 in Kowloon.
Outlying villages of Stanley and Taitam, and Aberdeen and Aplichau were scavenged by contract at a yearly charge of $350 for the first two and $180 for latter two. The contractor has the privilege of receiving nightsoil in each case in addition. Scavenging by contract has proved unsatisfactory and as from 1st January 1928 the work will be done departmentally.
9. REFUSE REMOVAL.
The bulk of the refuse from the City of Victoria and Kowloon was, as hitherto, taken by barges and dumped at sea. Some 15,543 tons were dumped at Cheung Sha Wan where a reclamation is being gradually formed.
Appendix I, Table (ii) shows cost of removal from Victoria, the Hill District and Kowloon Peninsula. Figures for the last two years will be found in Table (iii). Barges were delayed on one occasion only by weather conditions.
