Some years ago, petitioners resolved to build a

hospital in Kowloon for the benefit of the sick, who might

require free medical attendance and medicines, and to carry out

their purpose they were fortunate enough to obtain the co-

-operation and strenuous assistance of Your Honour.

Later the Directors of the Tung a Hospital anthe

leading members of the cormunity raised subscriptions to the

amount of more than $80,000 and thereby supplied the petitioners

with the necessary funds. A suitable site at Yaumati was grant-

-ed by His Excellency Sir Matthew Nathan the late Governor; Mr.

Bird was engaged to design the building; and the work has now

been placed in the hands of a contractor, and it is expected

that the hospital buildings will be completed within two years.

All kinds of diseases serious or light and including plague,

will be treated there, but apparently small-pox cases cannot

consistently with the laws of hygiene be admitted into the same

hospital therefore there still remains a need for a separate

hospital for small-pox.

When it was proposed recently to build a small-pox

hospital in Hongkong, between $60,000 and $70,000 were collect-

-ed by subscription; but as the Government has graciously

sanctioned the use of the Kennedy Town Infectious Disease

Hospital for a Small-pox Hospital, a new building is no longer

required, and there ought to be a large balance in hand. On the

5th.
