11th February 1913.

Permit me to complain of the manner in which the little

Annual Report for Hong Kong is prepared.

Unlike that for the other Crown Colonies, it omite many

important particulars which it is usual to publish. I obtained

the one which I possess with a view to ascertaining certain facts

which one naturally expects to find set out and an disappointed at

their abas 108. For instance, only the totals of Revenue and

Expenditure are given, the items not being shewn and other important particulars it fails to give.the information to all these reports

such as death rate, birth rate and so on.

I wonder whether a complaint like this from an obscure

private individual is likely to have any weight, but I shall be pleased if my protest could secure that future issues for Hong Kong

are made uniform in their design with the rest of the reports

for Crown Colonies.

Yours truly

Sobreford
