The Government Revenue derived from all sources during the year was $17,344.03 and the Government Expenditure was $130,880.54.
2. As is evidenced by the numerous tables attached to this report, much of the work of the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs is concerned with the administration of funds that may be called semi-official. The Revenue in these cases is in very large part a matter of voluntary subscription by the Chinese Community and outside the Government Estimates, with Expenditure at the discretion of the Department.
PROTECTION OF WOMEN AND GIRLS.
Ordinance No. 4 of 1897.
Ordinance No. 21 of 1929.
Ordinance No. 6 of 1893.
Ordinance No. 1 of 1923.
Ordinance No. 22 of 1929.
Ordinance No. 2 of 1865.
3. The number of persons reported to the Po Leung Kuk as missing during the year was four of whom none was found as compared with twelve and none in 1931.
4. Twenty-one names were added to the list of girls under bond. The number of names on the list on December 31st was fifty-five.
5. Inspector Fraser and his two Assistant Chinese Lady Inspectors have worked with conspicuous loyalty and diligence throughout the year on work in connection with Mui Tsai. 5,184 visits were paid to the homes of registered Mui Tsai. At the beginning of the year the total number of Mui Tsai was 3,743; and at the end of the year this had been reduced by 555 to a total of 3,188. This very considerable reduction is mainly accounted for by permanent departures from the Colony, restoration to relatives and marriage.
