1. That a properly qualified venerealogist be appointed to the staff of the P.O.M.O. and put in charge of the facilities for free treatment for the Colony.

1. That free clinics should be opened at the Civil General Hospital near the docks, the Tung Wah and the Kwong Wah Hospitals, the personnel of their staffs being increased accordingly.
