Registrar-General's Office,

Hongkong, 22nd.November, 1909.

I forward herewith for the most favourable

consideration of His Excellency the Governor a translation of

a petition from the promoters of the Kwong Wa Hospital and from

residents in the Kowloon Peninsula asking for a grant of Crown

Land on which to erect a small-pox hospital.

Attached are two plans shewing the site

which petitioners suggest would be suitable and the building it

is proposed to erect.

A small-pox hospital on the north side of

the harbour is a necessity and an opportunity is now being

offered to secure the erection of a suitable building at no

cost to the Government.

I forward also Dr. Ho Kai's covering letter.

I have etc.,

(sa.) A. W. Brewin,

Registrar-general.

Honourable

Sir F. H. May, K.C.M.G.,

Colonial Secret ary.
