of the land concerned

The Tung Wah Hospital has already been granted an all-sums subsidy of $12044. I think this should be allowed. If we give them a site, they will lay out $30000. My principal doubt is that for plague, I think temporary matsheds to be burnt when used may be better than a permanent building.
