Hongkong, 27th.September,1905.

I have the honour to request your

sanction to building grants-in-aid not exceeding $1,500 -

and $7,000 respectively being made towards the cost of --

constructing a Roman Catholic Vernacular School at Aberdeen

and of extending the Ellis Kadoorie English and Vernacular

School in Victoria.

2.

The Roman Catholic Vernacular

School at Aberdeen is an existing institution which had in

1904 an average daily attendance of 39.34 and is at present

housed in a building reported to be dark and unsuitable.

The Inspector of Schools states that there is room for it

at Aberdeen as well as for the District Anglo-Chinese

School which will be started there next year. The Director

of Public Works is of opinion that the plans that have been

submitted show a probable expenditure on school premises

sufficient
