I have the honour to report as follows in
answer to the Honourable Colonial Secretary's minute
dated 2 / 5 /1900.
In order to deal with this subject effectually
I am of opinion that three 1st, Class Inspectors and three
interpreters should be appointed for duty in the New
Territory, giving each of the Inspectors a pony for con-
veyance, I suggest that they be stationed at Tai Po, Ping Shan or Ün Long, and Sai-Kung or Kowloon City,
respectively-their duties being to visit the whole of
their districts as often as possible, and investigate
and report upon all outbreaks of animal disease which
their
might come under notice, to attend to the segregation of
sick animals, toser that all animals which died from
discase were properly buried (or they would be dressed
and sold for food) to assist in regulating the passage
of animals from place to place, to encourage the breeding
of cattle and swine as much as possible, to assist in
any inoculation operations which might be considered
necessary, and when Markets are established to take
charge of them.
As trustworthy reliable men would be required
to efficiently perform these duties it is essential
that they be well paid- otherwise the work would be
neglected and the system-not the real cause, condemned.
It would also be the duties of these officers to point
out
