27. Funds amounting to more than $400,000 were raised under the auspices of the Tung Wah Hospital for Shanghai refugee work, and were forwarded to the Kwong Shiu Kung Sho in Shanghai.
28. Two new wings, completing the existing scheme for the Tung Wah Eastern Hospital, were added and opened by His Excellency the Governor in December. The cost was met from funds specially raised by the Directors themselves without drawing on the funds of the Hospital.
29. With the approval of the Secretary of State the site of the old Po Leung Kuk, which had been originally granted by the Crown for Tung Wah Hospital purposes, is to be utilised for the erection of houses or shops. These will be built by the Hospital and the rents derived from them will be devoted to Hospital maintenance expenses. The cost of running these three Hospitals is mounting year by year, as improvements and extensions are made, and forms a serious problem for the Directors. It is hoped that some $20,000 annually will be derived from this utilisation of the old Po Leung Kuk site and the scheme was already in hand by the end of the year.
30. The useful work done by the Hospital in maintaining free schools for poor children in various parts of the Colony was carried yet another step further by the establishment in Wanchai of a new Girls' School, to accommodate fifty-two pupils.

31. This Hospital is a part of the organisation financed and managed by the Chinese Public Dispensaries Committee. Its proximity to the University has made it a convenient centre for the training of Medical Students in residence, and an arrangement has been made under which the Committee recognises this fact and welcomes the voluntary assistance of the University Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Dr. R. E. Tottenham) who is in effect in direct or supervising charge of all the patients in the Hospital. The scope of the work of this valuable Hospital is steadily tending to increase, and there are signs that we have already reached the limit of its suitable expansion as part of the Chinese Public Dispensary organisation. Attention is now being directed to the question whether it would not be to the general advantage if Government were to accept the Hospital as a gift from the Chinese Public Dispensary organisation, and thereafter be entirely responsible for its maintenance and possible further development.
