Relief in Money and Provlalons,

During the nine months January to September, 1931, the Society has contributed to the maintenance of 147 familles, comprising 215 per- sons, to whom assistance has been

of given irrespective

race, na- tionality or creed. 1087 visits have been made to the poor in their homes during the same period.

The expenditure for the nine: months Was $5,800 as against $5,058.75 during the same period in

1930.

The Society has also during the first nine months of 1931 expended $97 in providing shoes and clothing for poor children and $90 in medical aid.

Housing Accommodation.

In consequence of the continued trade depression there is a large amount of unemployment in the Colony, and as a consequence the question of the housing of the poor still causes the Society no little anxiety,

The expenditure under this head during the whole of 1930, amounted to $1,974.28, while for the nine months January to September, 1981, the expenditure was $1,064.56 of wheich $209.22 represents grants made in special cases of temporary destitution.

The Society maintains a 4-storey building, No. 23 Kwong Ming Street, for the purpose of housing a number of poor families who are there provided with more healthy they und sanitary quarters than could, even with assistance from the Society, find in the cheaper and avercrowded districts of the City.

Education of Poor Children. This has always been one of the | first works of the Society of St.j Vincent de Paul all over the world.
