Appendix C.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY FOR CHINESE AFFAIRS FOR THE YEAR 1933.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
(Tables I-III).
1. The Government Revenue derived from all sources during the year was $16,347.60 and the Government Expenditure was $175,321.51.
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 one who was not found as compared with four and none found in 1932.
4. Twenty-five names were added to the list of girls under bond. The number of names on the list on December 31st was seventy-six.
5. Inspector Fraser and his two Assistant Chinese Lady Inspectors have continued throughout the year their sterling work in connection with Mui Tsai. A total of 2,692 visits was made by the Lady Inspectors to the homes of registered Mui Tsai in addition to their work with the male Inspector investigating numerous cases concerning registered and unregistered Mui Tsai. At the beginning of the year the number of Mui Tsai on the Registers was 3,188; and at the end of the year this had been reduced by 462 to 2,726. This reduction is mainly accounted for by permanent departures from the Colony, restoration to parents or other relatives and marriage.
