years owing to the anti-malaria work done then and since, it has been reduced to endemic proportions. In 1933 the malaria case rate per 1,000 population was 1,842, in 1936 it was 314.
108. The anti-malarial and hospital staff were housed in mosquito-proofed quarters, none of them contracted malaria.
109. From 25 to 14 European employees resided in mosquito-proofed quarters, no cases of malaria were reported.
110. A police force, 8 in number resided in mosquito-proofed quarters; 1 hospital admission for malaria was recorded.
111. Very few mosquitoes were ever captured in numerous searches done in the screened buildings occupied by 17 Tamil artificers. As the line was not over-crowded, doors and windows could be kept shut during the hot weather without discomfort.
112. The Malariologist paid 2 visits during the year, the Acting Malariologist 48, the Assistant to Malariologist 4, three Inspectors made 5, 5, 2 visits. These were made for the purpose of inspection of anti-malaria works and of checking the Anopheline catches.
Aerodrome Site, Patheung Valley.
113. This valley is situated near Au Tau Police Station, 27th mile Castle Peak Road, except on the west it is surrounded on all sides by high hills, the valley is flat and is used mainly for rice cultivation. The villages are mostly situated near the hills. The Aerodrome site is close to and south of the village of Shek Kong. A report upon the surroundings was furnished in 1935.
114. Work was commenced on the approach road to the site on 12th May and on the landing ground 14th June. The road coolies were at first housed in matsheds near the villages of Kam Tin and Shek Kong; the Kam Tin matsheds were destroyed in the August typhoon, later on the Shek Kong matsheds were replaced by permanent lines. The works and building coolies engaged on levelling the landing ground were at first housed in the villages of Shek Kong and Kam Tin, afterwards some were housed in permanent lines.
115. A coolie force was employed in the cutting of a nullah for the diversion of a stream which flowed through the landing ground; some of these were housed in permanent lines from the beginning, others in villages. The nullah work was commenced on 13th June.
116. Attempts were made to render all permanent lines mosquito-proofed. The usual results were attained, namely conversion of the lines into mosquito traps.
