14. CHINESE HOTELS AND BOARDING HOUSES.

(a) These establishments are those which cater essentially

for Chinese guests.

(b) Hotels and boarding houses of this kind are licensed by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs and are classi-

fied as follows

(1) Tsau Tim (

(ii) Hak U (

>

(iii) San Hak Chan (

) and

(iv) Hang Shun Kun (

(c) We recommend that Hang Shun Kun (

) should

be exempt from control as these are in the nature of a

non-commercial institution and operated as a sailor's

home.

(a) With the exception of the Hang Shun Kun (

>

the guests in these hotels and boarding houses are of

the transient and emigrant type. As these hotels

do not cater for residents in our opinion no

recommendation is called for at present.

(e) Charges cover accommodation and services; no meals are

provided except when a restaurant is attached to the

hotel. In this latter case meals are served "a la

carte" and charged for separately.

(f) It has been represented to us that approximately 30%

of the rooms in hotels and boarding houses are normally

vacant. We have no cause to disbelieve this.
