5. Inspector Fraser, Inspector of Muitsai, went on leave on 18th May, 1935, and his place was taken by Inspector O'Connor who continued to act in this capacity until the end of the year. The inspectors, ably assisted by the two Assistant Chinese Lady Inspectors, continued to do good work in connection with Muitsai. At the beginning of the year the number of Muitsai on the register was 2,268 and at the end of the year this had been reduced by 339 to 1,929.
