The Marine Board have been requested to furnish statements showing the quantity of coal available in China, the estimated consumption per month for the steamers named in the margin, the quantity in store at Singapore (which is believed to be large, and to have been promised at a cheap rate) and the quantity in store at Point de Galle. We have at the same time intimated to the Marine Board that a despatch from Sidney of from 200 to 400 tons monthly may be calculated on, and have communicated to Her Majesty's Plenipo- tentiaries and the Board, our opinion that a well protected depôt for coals should be esta- blished at Hong Kong, when our settlement on that island has been matured. Your Committee will perceive from the document noted in the margin, that Mr. Bonham had purchased between 700 and 800 tons at six dollars per ton, which he expected soon to despatch to China. \n\nquarterly 17. We have likewise requested the Accountant-general to forward to us a return, exhibiting a statement of the entire expense incurred on account of Her Majesty's Government for the China expedition, with a view to enable your Committee to take such measures for the progressive adjustment of the sums at the debit of Her Majesty's Govern- meat, as you may deem most proper. \n\n18. In this statement will be entered the lists and valuations of military and ordnance stores expended and returned, the charges for extra pay of troops, the hire of the transports, and other marine charges; value of commissariat supplies provided at the cost of the Indian Government; value of coal and marine supplies, and wear and tear of steamers, &c. calculated at the rate of 10 per cent. on the block and rigging. \n\n19. We have requested the Government of Bombay to have arrangements in readiness for the quick conveyance to his destination of any successor to Admiral Elliot, who may come overland from England. \n\n20. Certain proposed arrangements for the better conduct of the post-office, distribution of letters in China, and the establishment of a post-office at Hong Kong, are in contem- plation. \n\n21. The papers here cited, contain various instructions we have issued to the Board and departments concerned, calling upon them to strain every nerve to expedite the completion of the arrangements devolving upon them respectively for affording aid and despatching reinforcements to the China expedition, and pointing out the very urgent necessity on the present occasion, of more than ordinary exertion in behalf of the public service. \n\n22. In conclusion, we beg,in an Appendix, to annex for the information of your Committee, and as affording the means of a ready reference to detail, a précis on the following points not particularised in the foregoing portion of this depatch: \n\n1. Ordnance stores. \n\n2. Commissariat stores. \n\n3. Medical stores. \n\n4. Coal from the marine stores. \n\n23.

These reinforcements sailed from hence on the 20th instant, and may confidently be expected to be at Singapore by the middle of April. It is presumed that the Governor-general may be able to detach in aid of this force not less than four native regiments; and Her Majesty's Government hope that a somewhat larger force may, without inconvenience, be spared from India. \n\nI enclose a list of Her Majesty's ships now in the China Seas, in addition to which those mentioned in the Return No. 2 are either now \n\non their passage or will be immediately sent out to relieve those which are placed opposite to them in the corresponding column. \n\nThe Governor-general will perceive, by the accompanying copy of a despatch addressed by the Secretary to the Admiralty to Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, that the Admiral is authorized to detain, for a limited period, any or all of the relieved ships, in case the exigencies of the service should appear to require it. \n\nYour Lordship will, doubtless, cause the Governor-general to be informed of the period, as stated in your letter of this day, at which the Memnon and Acbar steamers may be expected; and as Lord Auckland has found it necessary to recall two of the Honourable Company's steamers to the coast of India, I have directed the Admiralty to replace them by Her Majesty's steam-vessels Vixen and Geyser, which are fitting out with all expedition. \n\nThe collective force thus assembled will, it is hoped, be sufficiently formidable to effect, in the course of 1842, the objects which Her Majesty's Government seek to obtain. For the reasons above stated, I forbear to enter into any detail of the course which should be adopted. Her Majesty's Government rely, with entire confidence, upon the Governor-general for giving the directions\" which will be necessary, in the first instance, for the execution of the objects which I have above indicated, and, with equal confidence, upon the exercise of the discretion with which it is necessary that they should intrust him for modifying the views which they are at present led to take, should unforeseen circumstances render such an alteration of their original plans, in his judgment, necessary or desirable. \n\nI have to request that your Lordship will have the goodness to cause this despatch, with its enclosures, to be communicated in the usual manner to the Governor-general of India. \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nNo. 2. \n\nRETURN of Ships ordered out to the East Indies, with the Names of the Ships they are intended to relieve. \n\nGuns. \n\n36 Cambrian \n\nGuos \n\n44 Druid. 26 Herald. \n\n26 Conway. \n\n26 Calliope. \n\nto relieve \n\n42 Thalia \n\n>> \n\n26 North Star \n\n18 Dido \n\n16 Hazard \n\n18 Modeste. \n\n\" \n\n16 Siren \n\n18 Favorite. \n\n16 Harlequin \n\n18 Larne. \n\n18 Hyacinth. \n\nTroop-ships. \n\n16 Serpent \n\nBelleisle Apollo Sapphire Vixen Geyser \n\nSteam-vessels intended to be sent. \n\n-No. 16.- \n\nCopy of a LETTER from Sir John Barrow to Vice-Admiral Sir \n\nSir, \n\nWilliam Parker. \n\nAdmiralty, 22 November 1841. \n\nNo. 16. \n\nI AM commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint Sir John Barrow to you that, although the several ships their Lordships are sending out to the Sir W.

Whereas by reason of the distance of Hongkong from Great Britain great delay and expense are incurred in recovering such sums of money as are expended on Her Majesty's behalf in conveying home destitute seamen unlawfully left behind in Hongkong by masters of British Merchant Vessels.\n\nAnd whereas it is expedient to effectually provide against masters of merchant Vessels belonging to Her Majesty's Subjects leaving behind seamen or other persons in a destitute state in Hongkong and against masters of merchant vessels refusing to convey distressed seamen thence to England and also to provide means of affording satisfaction to persons who may have suffered injury from the crew of any vessel belonging to Her Majesty's Subjects.\n\n1. Be it therefore enacted by His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof that the master of every merchant Vessel belonging to any of Her Majesty's Subjects as such master and in that character on his arrival at Hongkong shall together with sufficient sureties subject to the Jurisdiction of the Courts of Justice in Hongkong enter into a bond conditioned as and in the form in the Schedule to this Ordinance annexed.\n\nProvided always that only one such bond shall be required within the space of one year unless the same shall be become forfeited and that any bond of a similar nature taken at any Port in the Dominions of the Emperor of China and conditioned to extend to Hongkong shall be of the same force and effect as if entered into at Hongkong aforesaid.\n\nProvided also that the Superintendent of the Trade of Her Majesty's Subjects in China may demand and take such other security as he may deem necessary or sufficient from the owners masters consignees or other persons interested in any vessel for the due performance of the conditions in such bond as aforesaid conditioned to extend both to Hongkong and the dominions of the Emperor of China and that thereupon no master of any vessel in respect of which such other security shall be taken shall be required to enter into such bond as hereinbefore mentioned.\n\n2. And be it enacted that the Harbour Master at Hongkong or such other Officer as may be duly authorized in that behalf shall be entitled to demand and take possession of such bond and shall deliver a certificate of the taking thereof to such master as aforesaid and that the sureties therein shall be to the satisfaction of and approved by the said Harbour Master or other Officer.\n\n3.

And be it enacted. That upon any such bond or other security as herein mentioned becoming forfeited the same shall be put in suit by such person as may hereafter be duly authorized in that behalf by the Superintendent of Trade and the whole penalty thereof recovered and levied but that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent of Trade aforesaid upon petition being made to him to that effect to order that such part thereof as shall not be actually expended in consequence of the breach of the conditions of the said bond or other security or as may not be required to liquidate any legal penalty which may have been incurred by the master or other person bound thereby to be returned to the party or parties from whom the same may have been levied at such time and on such conditions as the said Superintendent of Trade may think fit.\n\nL.S.\n\nAn Ordinance for Her Majesty's subjects within the dominions of the Emperor of China, or within any ship or vessel at a distance of not more than one hundred miles from the coast of China.\n\nAnna Sexta et Septimo Victoria Reginae.\n\nNo. 3 of 1844.\n\nBy His Excellency Sir Henry Pottinger, Baronet, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, Major General in the Service of the East India Company, Governor and Commander in Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Superintendent of the Trade of Her Majesty's subjects in China, with the advice of the Legislative Council of Hongkong.\n\nAn Ordinance to restrain masters of merchant vessels belonging to Her Majesty's subjects from leaving seamen and others in a destitute state in the dominions of the Emperor of China, and from refusing to convey distressed seamen from thence to England, and also to provide for the good conduct of seamen within the same.\n\n(28th February, 1844.)

All men in the Colonies, Sir J.

Bowring be distinctly instructed that his Annual Estimates are to be laid on the table of the Legislative Council, are to be submitted to their vote, and are in all respects to be dealt with in exact conformity with the rules laid down in the book of **Colonial Regulations**, 2nd ed., 1848 fact.\"\n\nCan you find anything on former occasions to confirm or disprove Sir J.

Bonham until his assumption of the Govt. and Sir John Bowring added that this practice is a \"very recent one\" since the reconstruction of the L. C. and the introduction into that Body of a quorum number of unofficial members.\n\nI certainly have always entertained the persuasion that the rules laid down in the **Colonial Regulations** in Estimates were to be followed at Hong Kong, and I do not know how the Government observation in his despatch of the 26 March '56 (`GR1178/1922/32(III)`) that the Treasurer only prepared the Estimates escaped my notice, probably because the general subject of that despatch (the recasting of the L. C.) was not handled by me.\n\nBut why on that point should not Sir J. Bowring obey the **Book of Colonial Regulations** in this respect as well as his predecessor? On the 20 June '46, Sir G.

Since that time, and on several occasions before leaving Refort, I have been engaged in tuition of different kinds. During the short time of 1872, I acted as temporary assistant to the late & present Headmasters of King Edward's Grammar School, Birmingham, from which institution I came before you. I was chiefly occupied there with the advanced classical and general work of the highest forms, but I also on several occasions took charge of junior classes, and acted as headmaster's assistant. This experience enabled me to become thoroughly acquainted with the work and all the internal management of a large and highly successful educational establishment.\n\nI have also frequently assisted, during my vacations and at other times, in the examination and particularly the examination of classes of various ages, ranging from boys 11 or 12 years old to advanced students just leaving for the universities. I have had a good deal of experience in private tuition both among university men and younger pupils, and sometimes, too, among the poorer labourers. Within the last year, I have assisted in the examination for scholarships at Barrow, and for some time, I conducted a working men's class for the study of Shakespeare, from the members of which I received a very flattering address of thanks.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-164 - Sir Kennedy - 1873 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 300220, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-177 - Sir Kennedy Acting Governor Austin Lieut Governor Hennessy - 1877 [1-5]", "page_number": 550, "title": "CO129-177 - Sir Kennedy Acting Governor Austin Lieut Governor Hennessy - 1877 [1-5]", "content_text": "reputation.

The numerous signatures appearing in the appended subscription lists, representing every class and race of this community, will afford you the best testimony of the wide-spread appreciation entertained of your public career, but it will not be out of place for us to pass in brief retrospect some of the more eminent services you have rendered the Colony.\n\nChief among these stands the able and straightforward performance of your duties in the Legislative Council, where you have for so many years held a seat. In a Crown Colony the position of an Unofficial Member of this Council is full of discouragement; having no power of initiation, and with the certainty before him of being outvoted if in opposition, his task is limited to criticism of the schemes of the Government. Your labours in this direction have been of the highest importance and utility, and more especially as a guardian of the public purse the attitude you have unflinchingly maintained cannot, we think, be very well over-estimated.\n\nThe little leisure which the pressing responsibilities of a large Mercantile House have left you, you have ungrudgingly bestowed on many other public affairs. As Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce your wide experience and knowledge of business have been of the highest value. The City Hall owes much to your care and attention. Schemes of charity and for the assistance of the poor or friendless have ever found in you a real sympathiser; and there are but few institutions organised in this Colony for humane or charitable purposes that have not profited by your liberal aid and advice.\n\nNot less worthy of mention have been your services to many of those Public Companies with which much the prosperity of the Colony has now become identified. To your power of labour, business capacity, and grasp of detail, these important concerns are in no small degree indebted for the prosperity they enjoy; and it is no slight to others to say that probably to you more prominently than any one else, is due the confidence which joint-stock enterprise now enjoys in the Far East.\n\nWe now beg to bid you farewell, and with every wish for your enjoyment of your well-earned holiday, we remain, your sincere friends,\n\nE.

Bowen \n8.5. March and annex a leading article from the principal journal of this Colony on the subject treated of in this despatch.\n\n## Enclosure 1\n### TURNING OF THE FIRST SOD OF THE BOWEN PARK\n\nYesterday was the day fixed for the inauguration of a work which the community have long wished to see commenced, namely, the transformation of the swamp enclosed by the Racecourse into a public park. The plan it is intended to adopt in the laying out of the grounds is indicated in the speech of the Hon. J. M. Price, Surveyor-General, reported below. Suffice it here to say that few prettier spots for a public park could be found in any part of the world than the Wong-nei-chong Valley, and we doubt not that when the work is completed the park will be largely availed of by the public generally for purposes of recreation and pleasure.\n\nIt was at the instance of Governor Sir George Bowen that the necessary funds were voted by the Legislative Council and the sanction of the Secretary of State was given, and a general desire was expressed that the name of His Excellency should be permanently associated with the work. To this desire His Excellency has acceded, and the ground will henceforth be known as the Bowen Park.\n\nUnfortunately, many who wished to be present at the ceremony were disappointed, owing to the event taking place a little earlier than was generally anticipated. The time was announced as soon after twelve o'clock or just before the first race. As the first race did not take place until one o'clock, the intimation was somewhat indefinite, and there seems to have been an impression that people would be in time if they arrived about half-past twelve. By that time, however, the proceedings were just being brought to a conclusion.\n\nHis Excellency, accompanied by Captain Lewis, A.D.C., arrived on the ground soon after noon, and shortly afterwards proceeded to the spot selected for the cutting of the sod, which was in front of the Grand Stand. There were present the Hon. J. M. Price, Hon. W. Keswick, Hon. T. Jackson, Colonel Graves, Mr. C. P. Chater, Mr. A. Coxon, Mr. H. J. H. Tripp, Captain Dempster, etc., etc.\n\nThe Hon. the SURVEYOR-GENERAL opened the proceedings by addressing His Excellency the Governor as follows:-\n\n\"Your Excellency, it is my agreeable duty to invite you to take to-day the initial step in the important sanitary work which is to be carried out on this spot. The conversion of the meadow lands within the Racecourse, which have hitherto lain unused, into a recreation ground for the people is a project which I am certain has met with the approbation of the entire community, and I am equally certain it is a project which will materially contribute to the health and enjoyment of all classes.\n\nIn commemoration of your Excellency's connexion with this undertaking, I am given to understand it is the wish that this public pleasure ground when completed may receive the name of the Bowen Park.\" (Applause).\n\n\"As a park, it is perhaps to be regretted the area is limited to about thirty acres, but I may mention that it is the intention to make the most of this limited area by laying it out in walks and carriage drives, in a polo ground, a cricket ground, and tennis lawns for the public. Our friends the Trustees of the Jockey Club have expressed a wish that no trees such as would develop into large timber and obstruct a continuous view of the racecourse may be planted in the interior of the grounds. There is every intention to defer to this very natural wish of the Trustees and members of the Jockey Club, although it must be confessed the absence of large timber will be somewhat of a drawback in any design for a public park, still by the judicious laying out of the ground, I trust it may be possible to attain some degree of picturesque landscape effect, and to make this place sufficiently attractive to allure the future residents of Victoria to come here and spend their summer evenings in healthful recreation.\" (Applause).\n\n\"I will not detain your Excellency longer, but with these brief remarks will ask you now to turn the first sod.\"\n\nHis EXCELLENCY - \"Mr. Price, and gentlemen, I am sure we have all listened with much pleasure and interest to the statement Mr. Price has just made of the manner in which it is proposed to lay out this park, and in fact to convert the swampy and malarious centre of the Wong-nei-chong Valley, on which we are now assembled, into a healthy resort for all classes of the population.\n\nSoon after my arrival here, I was struck by the omission hitherto to provide for the city of Victoria any public park or recreation ground such as is reserved in the plan of every new township and almost every village in Australia and New Zealand. Such a park or recreation ground one would say is much more necessary in the tropical climate of Hongkong than it is there.\n\nNature has provided in this valley a most suitable and picturesque site for a park; just such a site as every traveller in Greece and Italy knows would have been selected by the ancient Greeks and Romans as a stadium for the display of their national games.\n\nIn view of the circumstances at which I have glanced, I caused a plan for the drainage of this ground to be prepared and submitted to the Colonial Legislature, which unanimously adopted it and voted the necessary funds. The cost is estimated at only $25,000, which will be spread over two or three years. The project has also received the emphatic sanction of the Imperial Government, and (as I am informed) of this entire community, which regards it as an important work, required for sanitary and other purposes of public convenience.\n\nIt is believed, moreover, that it will prove reproductive both directly and indirectly -- directly as increasing the selling value of the Government lands in the neighbourhood, and indirectly as improving the public health. The plan which has been approved includes the existing Racecourse, together with new grounds for polo and cricket, and for military exercises and reviews.\n\nI have great pleasure in being present to take part in the commencement of this work, and I am gratified to learn it is the general wish of the Colonial Legislature and of this community that my name should be connected with it-(applause) as it has already been connected with many parks, towns, districts, and public institutions of all kinds in the colonies of Queensland, New Zealand, Victoria, and Mauritius, over which I have already presided during the last quarter of a century as the representative of the Queen.\" (Applause).\n\n\"The ceremony is very simple and I will now proceed with it.\"\n\nHis Excellency then cut the sod and wheeled it away a few paces in a barrow.\n\nThree cheers were given for the Governor, and His Excellency called for three for the Queen.\n\nHon. W. KESWICK then said - \"Your Excellency, on behalf of the Trustees of the Racecourse, I beg to convey to you their thanks for what you have done towards the improvement of the Racecourse. The place will certainly be greatly enhanced in public value by the change which is to be made, and I am sure...\n\nPage 318", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-220 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1885 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 330782, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-226 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [4-5]", "page_number": 245, "title": "CO129-226 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1886 [4-5]", "content_text": "have not been already specially reported,\n\n740 of\n\nObservatory.\n\n10.

No mention is made in it of deferred pay.\n\nI find now, however, that Sepoys in the Hong-Kong Regiment receive $30 per annum or $2 a month as deferred pay for 12 years, and Havildars receive the same allowance for 21 years.\n\nThe statement therefore in the 11th paragraph of my letter of the 4th of May that a private in the Hong-Kong Regiment gets a pension of $20 per annum after 21 years service is incorrect for he gets $30 x 12 = $360 in deferred pay (which may be regarded as a sort of commuted pension) which reckoned at 10 years purchase is equal to an annual pension of $36.

A. Camerion\n\n(Sgd) Neil Lamont\n\nA Similar Agreement was signed by\n\nMorgan Faberly, of Knockspadal, County Galway\n\n \n\nCONDITIONS OF SERVICE IN THE HONG KONG POLICE FORCE.\n\nI. No married man will be enlisted, and no married quarters will be provided until after promotion to rank of Sergeant.\n\nII. The pay is $600 per annum, in monthly payments of $50. Note. The exchange value of the dollar is variable. The market rate of exchange is at the present time 1s. 3d. and the Government will recognize no claim in respect of fluctuations in the value of the dollar.\n\nIII. Full pay will be drawn from the date of embarkation.\n\nIV. A bounty of £15 will be paid on enlistment.\n\nV. Each Officer is allowed to remit home, through the Government, any sum not exceeding his half-pay, but only at the market rate of exchange.\n\nVI. The engagement will be for five years only. Subject to the approval of the Captain Superintendent of Police and of the Colonial Surgeon, a Constable can re-engage for a further term of five years.\n\nVII. At the expiration of each of these terms of five years' service he becomes entitled to a second-class return passage.\n\n(a.) And he can apply through the Captain Superintendent of Police for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding nine months.\n\n(b.) Should this application be approved, he will receive half-pay during his absence, and a return passage to the Colony.\n\n(c.) On his return he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the force.\n\nVIII. Should he not take leave but remain in the Colony at the expiration of each or either of these two terms of five years' service, he will receive a sum equal to three months' pay of his substantive rank by way of bonus.\n\nIX. Should he be allowed to continue in the force on the completion of his second term of service, he may, on his final retirement, be allowed a pension according to regulations from time to time issued by the Colonial Government with the approval of the Secretary of State. Under the regulations recently issued, no pension will be granted for less than fifteen years' service, nor until the Officer has reached the age of 45 years, except in case of retirement on the ground of ill-health.\n\nX. Should a Constable be compelled to retire through ill-health before ten years, a gratuity of one month's pay for each year's service may be granted.\n\nXI. On joining the service each man has to provide himself with a uniform box, the cost of which is $5.\n\nXII. As a rule, he has to perform 6 hours' duty in each twenty-four hours, generally between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.; but is liable to be called on for extra service.\n\nXIII. He will have to attend School for one hour each day, four days weekly, until he obtains a Certificate of Competency, without which he cannot obtain promotion in the Force.\n\nXIV. He will also be required to attend drill for half an hour, three or four days a week, until he is passed as efficient.\n\nXV. Each Constable (European) is provided with free quarters, fuel, and light.\n\nXVI. The following are also provided free:-\n\nBeds and bedding, summer and winter clothing, helmets, great coats, and money in lieu of boots.\n\nXVII. He is provided with table linen, cutlery, glass, crockery ware, and cooking utensils for the sum of $5 entrance fee.\n\nXVIII. He is provided with Medical Attendance free. If absent from duty in hospital through sickness from climate or ordinary causes for a period not exceeding in all three months in any one year, a stoppage of one-third pay is made. After that period, half pay only will be allowed. If, however, his sickness is certified to be the result of his own indiscretion, half pay only will be allowed during the whole time of his absence from duty.\n\nXIX. Extra allowances are granted to Officers who acquire some knowledge of the Chinese language at the rate of $2.50, $5, or $10 per month according to the degree of proficiency attained.\n\n3.0.4\n\n3-7-67.\n\n123\n\n1\n\nB'd of Trade\n\n(Signature of Witness.)

IN reply to your despatch of the 19th instant, I have the honour to inform you that the Mining Concession referred to by the \"Moniteur Officiel du Commerce,\" comprises the three Prefectures of Kien Ning, Tingchow, and Shao Wu.\n\nIn my despatch No. 23 of the 3rd November last, to which I beg to call your attention, I alluded to this Concession when reporting on the negotiations which I had had with the authorities in connection with Mr. Farrow's application for mining rights in the districts of Anchi and Lung Yen, and I forwarded copies of the Agreements in regard thereto, inclosures Nos. 3 and 4; as these no doubt have since been bound up with the Legation Archives, I now furnish additional copies,* in case you should desire to forward them for the information of His Majesty's Secretary of State. These documents show how the Concession was obtained and under what conditions it is held by the French Syndicate—conditions, I am informed, which would not be at all acceptable to a British Company; (vide page 3 of my above-mentioned despatch).\n\nThe local Representative of the French Syndicate, \"La Compagnie Internationale d'Orient,\" or \"Société d'Etude du Fokien,\" is a M. Coursier, a mining engineer who has had considerable experience in the Transvaal and in America; during the past two years he has exploited the districts thoroughly, and reports having found rich mineral deposits both of gold and coal, which offer high hopes of profitable mining. It is now proposed to start a subsidiary Company, entitled the \"Shao Wu Gold Mining Company,\" and circulars have already been distributed locally, asking intending subscribers to register their names, a full report from the mining engineer being promised later, when subscription forms would also be issued. I inclose copies of these prospectuses,* both in English and Chinese, from which it will be seen that they are issued by the \"Société d'Etudes du Fokien,\" that is presumably conjointly by the Chinese \"Hua Yu Company\" and the \"Compagnie d'Orient,\" with whom the Chinese authorities concluded the Agreements. The capital of the subsidiary Company is fixed at 1,250,000 dollars, divided into 50,000 shares of 25 dollars each, of which it is only proposed to issue 4,000 preference shares at present.\n\nRumour has it that the flotation of the Company is to be postponed, the reason assigned being that the present is not considered an opportune moment in Paris for placing the shares on the market, and it is also said that some difficulties have arisen with the Viceroy over the matter, but it is impossible to obtain reliable information.\n\n(Private.)\n\nFrom a trustworthy source, namely, Wei Han, the Imperial Commissioner of the Pagoda Arsenal, I have learnt that the Viceroy Li Hsing-jui is totally opposed to the scheme, and had said that he would not allow it to proceed; he was advised, however, that it would be unwise to take any active steps at present, in view of the friction there has been for some time past with the French engineering staff at the Arsenal, and this advice he appears to have accepted. The Concession was granted by his predecessor, Viceroy Hsa, in December 1902.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nHERBERT F. BRADY,\n\n(Signed)\n\n3\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Little to Sir E. Satow.\n\n(No. 57.)\n\nNewchwang, May 26, 1904, Sir,\n\nIn reply to your despatch (separate) of the 19th instant, I have the honour to furnish the following particulars of three of the mining Concessions mentioned. Of the others I regret it has been impossible to obtain as yet any information, but I am making further inquiries, and will communicate later anything that I can learn.\n\nThe Fu Shun coal mine is situated near the Hun-ho, 60-100 miles north-east of Mukden, and the Concession to work it is held by the Russo-Chinese Bank and the Yalu Timber Company. The coal is said to be of good quality, but it is feared that difficulties will be experienced in working it, owing to the excessive quantity of water and the thickness of the seams, one of which is believed to be 100 ft. thick.\n\nChinese have worked the coal on a small scale, but the concessionaires have not yet, unless very recently, commenced operations.\n\nReference was made in my Report of 7th May, p. 5, to the construction, proposed or actual, of a railway from a point south of Mukden to this mine.\n\nThe Yentai coal mines are situated 10 miles east of the railway station of that name, at a place called T'u-tzu-t'un, which is connected by a narrow gauge line with the Manchurian Railway. This mine has been worked by natives for a century or more, and they reached a depth of 750 ft. It is now owned by the railway Company, who have been working it for some years, and who have erected machinery capable of turning out 1,000 tons a-day. Up to a short time before the war broke out six foreign (4 English, 1 French, and 1 Japanese) engineers were employed there, and the output last July was about 100 tons a-day, which, under proper management, should have been increased to 300 tons by now, but actually I believe it is very small. The coal is of good quality, being better than Japanese, is suitable and economical for railway purposes, but requires a strong draught, thus necessitating the engines being kept in good order, a requirement which made it unpopular with the Russian railway employés. The latter also discouraged its use, as they made a profit on the squeeze Japanese coal purchase. In fact, the Russian engineers appear for that reason to have deliberately obstructed the working of the mine, and I understand their bad management, combined with the natural difficulties caused by gas and water, has now rendered it almost useless. The output should, under favourable conditions, be sufficient to meet the requirements of the railway from Harbin, the daily consumption at one time on that section not exceeding in normal circumstances 400-600 tons. Over 600 hands (Chinese) were employed in the mine.\n\n玉器\n\n\" \"\n\nAt Dalai Nor, near the lake of the same name, south of Streteusk on the Amur, both coal and gold are, or have been, worked. The former was tried on the railway for some time, but is now no longer in use, partly owing to its bad quality and partly owing to inefficient working of the mine.\n\nMines de la Vallée de la Moudane: perhaps Mou-li-erh-k'en, a tributary of the Hurka.\n\nMines de Galène Argentifère de Koun Tchoun: perhaps Hunchun, near the Tumen, west of Possiet Bay. Gold and coal are known to be worked by natives at this place.\n\nI take the opportunity to add a few particulars of some other mineral deposits which have come to my knowledge.\n\nAt Wa Fang Tien, near the railway some 90 miles north of Port Arthur, coal was worked by the Russians for some time, but the quality was bad, and the deposits, which were merely surface ones, are now exhausted.\n\nAt Pen-chi-hu, some 40 miles south-east of Mukden, there are deposits, which are believed to be considerable, of coal of good quality. Communication is, however, difficult, and the mine has already been worked by natives down to the water level. It is situated close to the Tai-tzu-ho, which is unfortunately, even in the wet season, only navigable by very small boats.\n\nAttempts, which have hitherto proved unsuccessful, have also been made by Russians to work coal at Ssu-ping Kai, near Kaiyuan.\n\nGold has been worked on a small scale at Port Arthur, the yield being half an ounce to the ton.\n\n* Not printed.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nH.

Sir,\n\nNo. 1.\n\nMr. Max Müller to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received April 25.)\n\nPeking, April 7, 1910.\n\nIN his despatch No. 361 of the 6th October last, Sir John Jordan reported upon the forthcoming naval mission to Europe headed by Prince Tsai Hsün, and enclosed a memorandum recording an interview between Admiral Sa and Captain Dundas, naval attaché to this legation, on the subject of the reorganisation of China's navy.\n\nThe scheme of reform, as outlined by Admiral Sa, was not ambitious. Chinese Government apparently recognised that it was useless to build a fleet until a competent service had been organised to man it, and their plans were, therefore, more in the nature of a training than of a shipbuilding programme. The project did, however, include the construction of one large protected cruiser and of some small cruisers and torpedo craft, while it was intended to apply to His Majesty's Government for the services of one senior officer to act as naval adviser and two or three commissioned officers and six or eight warrant officers to assist in the work of reorganisation.\n\nSince the return of the Prince and his mission, I gather from conversations which I have had with Admiral Sa, Sir Chen Tung Liang and others that even this modest programme has practically been dropped. The present financial resources of China are not sufficient for the purpose, and the Chinese Government are determined not to build ships with foreign money. It may also be that the Navy Board have come to the conclusion that the time is not yet ripe for sinking money in the construction of a small fleet, which must, for many years to come, prove an easy prey to any enemy. But, whatever the reasons for their decision may be, I learn that all plans for a reorganisation and strengthening of the Chinese navy have been abandoned for the present, and that, so far from embarking upon a scheme of extension of naval power, the Government have, on the advice of Prince Tsai Hsün, decided to curtail their efforts in that direction, and even to admit no more cadets for the present to the naval schools at Nanking and Chefoo.\n\nThe Prince, however, advised the purchase of a small cruiser for training purposes, and also recommended that the order should be placed with Messrs. Vickers Maxim, as he was greatly impressed by what he saw when he visited that firm's ship-building yard at Barrow-in-Furness. A contract was, accordingly, signed on the 23rd ultimo between the representatives of the Chinese Naval Board and the agent of Messrs. Vickers Maxim, in the presence of the Chinese Secretary of this legation, for the construction and delivery of one steel protected cruiser training ship of 2,400 tons displacement and twenty knots speed, to be completed within eighteen months at a cost of £204,000, payable in five instalments spread over the period of construction. The low price quoted for this vessel does not, I understand, allow of the usual profit to the contracting firm, and Messrs. Vickers Maxim are no doubt undertaking the work more with a view to future contracts than to any immediate advantage.\n\nThe Chinese Government are credited with the intention of placing yet another order for a similar vessel, and it is to be hoped that if they do so, they will apply again to a British firm. In addition to Messrs. Vickers Maxim, other English shipbuilding firms, including Messrs. Armstrong and Company and Messrs. Beardmore and Company, have had representatives in Peking during the past few weeks, but I am afraid that their chances of gaining further orders may be seriously prejudiced if His Majesty's Government are compelled by the attitude of the Chinese Government to refuse to receive Prince Tsai Tao, Prince Tsai Hsün's brother.\n\nIt is hoped that the voluntary subscriptions which are being received from the Chinese residents abroad, chiefly Cantonese, may be sufficient to pay for two small cruisers, to be presented to the central Government, though their construction would, I am told, be in the hands of the Canton Viceroy, and not of the Naval Board.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nW.

MAX MÜLLER.\n\n[2729 bb-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 432555, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9]", "page_number": 305, "title": "CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9]", "content_text": "## Enclosure 3\n\nHon. Colonial Secretary,\n\n31588 \n303 \n**REC Reos 29 SEP**\n\nIn forwarding this petition and the Superintendent's minute I would remark that there is no doubt the summer months here are very trying to the Sisters. Miss Barrow practically broke down in health and had to go on leave this summer before the termination of her first six years. Miss Richards is very much run down in health and is scarcely fit to do her duty, her six years terminate in December next.\n\nIt must be remembered that the Sisters are on a different footing to the other members of the service in that Government pays their passage home and back when they go on leave.\n\nWith reference to \n1 and 2. \nThe only agreement the Sisters are under is to refund their passage out if they leave within three years. They are in the first instance appointed for 5 years (temporary establishment) and if their service at the termination of this period has been found to be satisfactory they are placed on the permanent establishment.\n\nIf they are granted long leave after three years' service it will mean an increase in the staff; at present there are sixteen sisters, with long leave after three years' service this would mean five away at a time; with the present staff only two can conveniently have long leave at the same time therefore three more sisters would be required.\n\n3. \nAll allowances were stopped when the Sterling Salary Scheme was introduced. An exception was made in the case of the European Wardmasters, Sir Matthew Nathan putting them on the same footing as the European Police and Prison Warders in this respect.\n\nThe four Sisters at present on dollar pay receive $7 a month as an allowance for fuel and light, so that if this request be granted the others should be put on a similar allowance.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 433410, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-380 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [9-10]", "page_number": 395, "title": "CO129-380 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [9-10]", "content_text": "## No other \"Tastem\" candidates need be put forward.\n\nThe following is the situation as regards R.C.S. 2/1/11. What the Committee & Sabruan told them was in some respect statements which had been made to them as to the certainty of his temper they felt some hesitation in putting his name forward. After discussion they decided to recommend that his name be placed before the Secretary of State together with that of Mr. Severn, who appeared to them to be nearly, if not quite, as good a candidate as Mr. Maxwell, and of whose personal suitability there can be no doubt.\n\nParticulars regarding both of these gentlemen are annexed.

Mr. Stubbs heard privately from another source yesterday that Mr. Maxwell is a man of hot temper and that he is apt to put up the backs of other people.

One of the planks was then prised open. The police took them to the station.\n\nConstable T.J. Fitzpatrick was called. On the afternoon of October 16th, between two and four o'clock, he saw the last witness brought in by Chinese Detective Ho. They got the planks on wheel barrows. They were tied up in bundles of five or six and fastened with ropes.\n\nThe witness gave a demonstration with the planks in court and said the planks were arranged in the following manner. Each plank had rectangular holes cut out at distances of about six inches. When placed one on top of the other, the four planks would form a receptacle sufficiently large enough to receive the tin boxes. Then two more planks, but without holes cut out, were placed as covers so that the tins could not fall out, nor could the boxes be seen. The four planks inside were then screwed together.\n\nThe witness continuing, said he undid four bundles which were screwed together with ropes. The two covers were fastened together. He counted 25 holes in them, some had tins, some had none. He found five tins in three bundles, and seven in the other.\n\nIt would take six planks to conceal four tins. There were 129 pistols and 20,830 rounds of ammunition found in the planks, except two more tins, which were in court.

Sir, I am directed to request that you will be good enough to inform me what is the number of Sisters which the Government of the Federated Malay States has been able to engage (a) through the Colonial Nursing Association or (b) otherwise for service in Government Hospitals in the Federated Malay States since the outbreak of war, and the date upon which each of the Sisters, if any, was engaged.—I am, etc.,\n\n**(Signed) CLAUD SEVERN, Colonial Secretary**\n\n## New Tobacco Duties\n\n**THE COLONIAL SECRETARY** proposed the following resolution under Section 7 of the Tobacco Ordinance, 1916: --**Resolved that the duties imposed on tobacco under Section 6 of the Tobacco Ordinance, 1916, shall cease to be payable as from the 28th day of July, 1916, and that the following duties shall be substituted therefor:**\n\n| Category | Duty |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a.) Cigars valued at not less than $2.20 per lb. and snuff of whatever value | $1.50 per lb. |\n| (b.) Cigars valued at less than $2.20 per lb. and not less than $1.60 per lb. | $0.70 per lb. |\n| (c.) Tobacco and cigarettes valued at not less than $1.60 per lb. | $0.70 per lb. |\n| (d.) Tobacco, cigars and cigarettes valued at less than $1.60 per lb. and not less than $1.10 per lb. | $0.30 per lb. |\n| (e.) Tobacco, cigars and cigarettes valued at less than $1.10 per lb. and not less than 60 cents per lb. | $0.20 per lb. |\n| (f.) Tobacco, cigars and cigarettes of any other kind not herein otherwise provided for | $0.10 per lb. |\n\n**THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL** seconded.\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY**--As was not unnatural in a free port, when we came to deal with the taxing of an article like tobacco we were working, more or less, in the dark. Therefore, it is not surprising and I think hon. members will agree it is not surprising—that we should have had to modify the rates of duty. The reasons for the modification are that we laid, inadvertently, too heavy a hand on the cheapest form of cigarettes, and these new duties are designed, and have indeed, I believe, given satisfaction to those interested in the matter, in removing that rather severe penalty on the smoke of the Chinese coolie. I now beg to move that the resolution which has been proposed and seconded be adopted.\n\nThe resolution was then put to the meeting and unanimously carried.\n\n## Governor's Reply to Hon. Mr. Pollock's Questions\n\nThe following questions were put by the Hon. Mr. Pollock and answered by H.E. the Governor.\n\nQ.-1. Is the Principal Civil Medical Officer responsible for \n(1) The accuracy of the statements of fact which are contained in the Answers to my Questions in Council concerning Government Hospital matters, and also for \n(2) Recommending to the Government the number of Sisters which is necessary for the efficient working of the Government Hospitals, without imposing undue strain or work on the Sisters, and also for \n(3) Informing the Government in good time beforehand that Sisters will be completing their 4 years of Service in the Colony, so that steps may be taken, in plenty of time in advance, to insure that, so far as possible, Sisters shall be able to take long leave on the expiration of their 4 years of Service in the Colony?\n\nA.-1. (i) (ii). The Government takes the responsibility for the accuracy of statements of fact; it also takes the responsibility for providing a sufficient staff for the efficient working of the Government Hospitals.\n\n(iii). The Government is responsible for the making of the necessary arrangements to enable Sisters to take long leave. Sisters, in common with all other Officers in the Service, are required to give nine months' notice of their intention to apply for long leave, in order, to quote the regulation, that suitable arrangements for the Public Service as a whole may be devised.\n\nQ.-2. Did the Principal Civil Medical Officer know, when the Estimates for the Government Staff at the Hospitals for 1916 were prepared:\n(1) That Sisters Craddock, Bone and Astin had recently resigned from the Service, and had not been replaced and \n(2) That Sisters Everingham and Wood would shortly be completing their 3 years' term of Service with the Government; and \n(3) That Sister Millington would be retiring from the Service in 1916, and that the following Sisters would, during the course of 1916, complete their 4 years of Service in the Colony, namely, Sisters Gorham, Barlow, Barrow, Kelsey, and Sloan? \nIf the Principal Civil Medical Officer knew the above facts, did he communicate them or some and if so which of them to the Government?\n\nA.-2. (i). The resignations of Sisters Craddock, Bone, and Astin were received by the Principal Civil Medical Officer in May, 1915, and were immediately reported by him to the Government.\n\n(ii). The question of filling the vacancies, which would occur on the retirement of Sisters Everingham and Wood after their probationary period, was referred by the Principal Civil Medical Officer to the Government in June, 1915.\n\n(iii) (a). At the date when the Estimates for 1916 were prepared there were grounds for anticipating that Sister Millington would remain in the Service until the end of the war. \n(b). Miss Millington decided in October that she would retire in April or May, 1916, and the Principal Civil Medical Officer reported to this effect forthwith, asking that immediate steps might be taken to fill the prospective vacancy.\n\nThe Principal Civil Medical Officer reported on the 11th August, 1915, that Sisters Gorham and Barlow wished to take long leave early in 1916. He at the same time stated that three other Sisters would complete a period of four years' service in 1916. In the summer of 1915 Dr. Johnson put very fully and clearly before the Government the necessity for making provision for the filling of vacancies and the grant of long leave.\n\nQ.-3. Is the Principal Civil Medical Officer responsible for the fact that the Notes appended to the Estimates for 1916 fail to disclose the fact that, in addition to the reduction of 2 Sisters in the Staff, to be replaced by 6 Probationer Dressers (which is noted in footnote (6) on page 61 of those Estimates) there is also a reduction of a third Sister, as compared with the Estimates for 1915, such reduction occurring under the following sub-heading of the Estimates, namely, \"Kennedy Town Hospital\"?\n\nDid the Principal Civil Medical Officer point out to the Government, and, if so, when, that the Estimates for 1916 provided for a reduction of 3 Sisters in the Government Nursing Staff, as compared with the Estimates for 1915?\n\nA.-3. The honourable member is apparently under a misapprehension. In the Estimates provision was made under \"Kennedy Town Hospital\" for two Sisters, one on a dollar and one on a sterling salary. The 1915 and 1916 Estimates provide for two Sisters, both on a sterling salary: but the 1915 Estimates show also, under the 1914 column, the dollar salary which lapsed at the end of 1914.\n\nQ.-4. Did the Principal Civil Medical Officer recommend to the Government that, for the year 1916, 6 Probationer Dressers should be employed at the Government Civil Hospital instead of 2 Sisters? If the question is in the negative, what Government Officer is responsible for the making of such suggestion?", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 463499, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11]", "page_number": 591, "title": "CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11]", "content_text": "## HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nbe in fact unfit for taking duty. They agree, however, that Sisters will go on duty or remain on duty when they are not well, in order to prevent extra work being thrown on others. The Matron reports that on two occasions of late she discovered that a Sister was not well, and she sent her off duty at once. A Sister was recently reported as having duty, and on enquiry being made she said that she preferred not to go off duty, though, had the Staff not been so short-handed, she would have been glad of two or three days' rest. The Superintendent states that it is largely a Sister's own fault if she goes on duty feeling too ill to do it, because the Sisters know quite well that they have only to say that they are not fit and they will be and always have been given a rest.\n\nQ.-9. With reference to the following part of the answer to my Question 5 at the last meeting of Council, namely,\n\nFor 10 years past one Sister has supervised the nursing on two floors in a similar manner,\n\nis it not the fact that for several, and, if so, for how many and what months during the said period January, 1913, to June, 1916, inclusive there has been one Sister on duty on each floor of A Block during morning and afternoon duty?\n\nA.-9. For some ten years one Sister was normally in charge of one floor in A Block and of C Block. Latterly one Sister has been in charge of both floors in A Block. This arrangement has not been continuous, and when circumstances have admitted, separate Sisters have been in charge of separate floors whether in A or in C Block. One Sister was on duty on each floor of A Block during morning and afternoon for nine months in 1913 and for five months in 1914 and 1915 respectively. During 1916 only one Sister has been on duty.\n\nQ.-10. With reference to the following part of the answer to my Question 5 at the last meeting of the Council: is it not the fact that the work is yet harder for the Sister in B Block than for the Sister in A Block, owing to the constant stream of patients coming in and out of that Block and owing to their being more patients to attend to? Will the Government state how many beds there are in B Block, including the beds in the Private Wards, and what was the average number of beds occupied in B Block, including the Private Wards, during each of the months April, May, June, July, August, and September for each of the years 1914 and 1915 respectively, and during April, May, and June, 1916, respectively?\n\nA.-10. The work in B Block is harder than that in A Block. There are fifty-six beds in the general wards of B Block and six beds in the private wards. There is no record of the average number of beds occupied in B Block during the periods referred to; and in any event Sisters were in charge of half only of B Block until July, 1915, when arrangement of wards was made.\n\nQ.-11. With reference to the statement, made in answer to my Question 4 at the last meeting of Council, as follows:-\n\nIt is not the case that short leave granted to Sisters has to be taken outside of the Colony,\n\nwas it made to such effect, and, if so, when has any Rule or Regulation ever been made, and has any such Rule or Regulation ever been notified to the Sisters, and, if so, when?\n\nA.-11. The regulation reads **\"No Civil Servant has any claim to spend his vacation or half-pay leave of absence in the Colony without special sanction from the Governor, which in the case of half-pay leave will only be given in very special circumstances.\"** The rule as regards half-pay leave dates from 1886 and as regards vacation leave from 1907. Rules of the Service are available to the Sisters at the Matron's Office in the Civil Hospital and at the office of the Victoria Hospital. The Sisters are presumably aware of the rule in question, as several applications by Sisters to spend vacation leave in the Colony have been granted in recent years. There is no record of such an application having been refused. The following applications, all of which were granted, may interest the honourable member:-\n\n| Date | Name | Leave Type | Duration |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 16th May, 1912 | MARY A. LEE | Vacation Leave | 1 month |\n| 25th July, 1912 | ELLEN LUCKMAN | Vacation Leave | 2 weeks |\n| 21st December, 1914 | Sister Barrow | Leave of Absence | December 1st to January 15th |\n\nCivil Hospital, Hongkong, 16th May, 1912. STR, I beg to apply for one month's vacation leave from the 3rd June. I would ask that permission be granted me to spend this leave in the Colony, as I am not able to incur the expense of travelling, and I feel the need of a holiday. I am, etc.,\n\n(Sd) MARY A. LEE,\nSister.\n\nThe Superintendent,\nCivil Hospital.\n\nCivil Hospital, Hongkong, 25th July, 1912. SIR, I have the honour to apply for two weeks vacation leave from the 1st proximo, and to request permission to spend it in the Colony. I have, etc.,\n\n(Sd.) ELLEN LUCKMAN,\nSister.\n\nThe Superintendent,\nCivil Hospital.\n\nHON. COLONIAL SECRETARY, Sister Barrow applies for leave of absence from December 1st until January 15th, 1915, and wishes to be allowed to spend it in the Colony, I recommend that the application be granted.\n\n(Sd.) J. T. C. JOHNSON,\nP.C.M.O.\n\n21st December, 1914.\n\nQ.-12. Are there not now 2 Chinese Wardmasters employed at the Government Civil Hospital in the place of 2 European Wardmasters?\n\nA.-12. This is the case. The European Wardmasters referred to, one of whom is an ex-soldier and the other a policeman, have been given leave of absence for the duration of the war in order that they may serve in the Army.\n\nQ.-13. Was there not for some months, and, if so, during what months, in the years 1914, 1915, and 1916, a shortage of drugs and disinfectants in the Government Civil Hospital? Is not the Principal Civil Medical Officer responsible for the ordering of a sufficient quantity of drugs and disinfectants for use in the Government Hospitals?\n\nA.-13. It should be explained in the first place that under General Order 137 all members of the Civil Service have the privilege of getting their prescriptions made by their medical attendants compounded at the Government Civil Hospital. It should also be explained that in 1914 there was no shortage in drugs and disinfectants required by the Government Civil Hospital, which could not be supplied by local purchase. In 1915 a shortage occurred in the Government supplies in the months of June, July and August owing to the non-arrival of supplies requisitioned from England. Here again necessary articles were purchased locally. Early in the current year owing to a loss of a consignment of drugs, some of which were specially required, in the unfortunate `Fasaka Mau`, inconvenience was caused, but the supply of drugs was supplemented as far as possible by local purchases. I may interpolate here that drugs for the hospital which were ordered last October were received only the other day. The reason, of course, is obvious; it is due to the state of war. The Principal Civil Medical Officer is given a full discretion to order from England such articles as in his opinion will be needed and he has full authority to replenish stock, where he thinks fit, by local purchase. Fashions change in drugs, and there may be in one year a heavy demand for some article which in the following year is neglected. The Government is satisfied that Dr. Johnson uses his discretion wisely in deciding what articles, in what quantities, are to be bought. It may be mentioned that the Government Civil Hospital stocks some 600 different articles.\n\nQ.-14. Is not the clothing of Asiatic patients in the Government Civil Hospital changed only once a week? Has not the Principal Civil Medical Officer sent round Minutes to the Sisters, urging that the Washing Bill should be kept as low as possible? Is it not the fact that Sisters have experienced a difficulty in procuring sufficient clean clothing and clean bedding for the patients in the said Hospital?\n\nA.-14. There is no hard and fast rule about changing clothing and bedding. Normally in the Asiatic wards clothing is changed weekly, but in many cases clothing and bedding have to be changed daily. The cleanliness of the beds and patients is made under the discretion of the Sister in charge of the ward. The Principal Civil Medical Officer under date the 28th June, ... There are 48 beds in the four public wards in A Block. The number of occupied beds in A Block, including the Private Wards, averaged during April, May, and June 37.2, 30.3, and 33.1 respectively.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 464455, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916", "page_number": 15, "title": "CO129-437 - Public Offices - 1916", "content_text": "# SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 24 DECEMBER, 1915,\n\n## List of Companies and Individuals\n\nSouth China Trading Co., Canton.\nSouth Manchuria Railway Company,\nSowa, Shanghai.\nSoychee Cotton Spinning Company.

These same men are prominent in governmental, political and commercial circles, and are guiding the destinies of the country.\n\nBy far the larger number of foreign-educated men in China have received their education in American schools in China or in the United States of America. These men are continually kept under the influence of American thought by scholastic societies and by the perusal of American literature.\n\nThey naturally turn to America for guidance equally when laying down the country's constitution laws, and when ordering equipment for their mills and mines. They are saturated with American ideas and ideals.\n\nThe British are so far behind in all the machinery that produces these influences that there is no possibility of comparison. The Americans are now preparing for great advances along the lines which have proved so satisfactory that the distance between American and British practice will become still more accentuated.\n\nThe employment of the surplus indemnity by the American Government in taking hundreds of Chinese students selected from all parts of the country to proceed to America to complete their education in American institutions of learning is exerting an enormous influence in Americanising the thought of modern China.\n\nIn addition to this agency the Americans have established a magnificent series of well-equipped modern schools throughout the country in connection with their missionary enterprise. These schools comprise the very best medical schools, universities, colleges, common and technical schools.\n\nThere are under American control in China 7 universities, 15 colleges, 140 middle or secondary schools; in addition the Y.M.C.A., an American organisation, directs 10 ordinary schools, 4 or 5 medical schools, as well as special schools for theology, agriculture, &c. The number of American men and women employed in these schools is 523, in addition to a very large number of Chinese teachers trained largely by American methods.\n\nThe Germans, recognising their lack of means of influencing the governing circles of Young China and having become convinced of the advantages of producing a class of men trained in German thought and methods as apart from their military organisation, set about establishing schools, and at the outbreak of the Great War were operating about a dozen schools in the Shanghai, Hankow and Kwangtung districts.\n\nThe British have largely held aloof from the employment of this great agency of spreading British ideals in China. British missionary societies have established about fifty schools, but these are for the most part starved for lack of funds. There are no British institutions, except the recently founded Hong Kong University, which confer degrees. The Chinese demand degrees, consequently provision for the granting of university honours is essential.\n\nWe are therefore of opinion that-\n\n1. It is desirable that the Government should take part in the education of Chinese under British influence and auspices.\n2. Steps should be taken to establish in North China an institution for the higher education of Chinese, to accommodate students who cannot proceed to Hong Kong. Such an institution should be affiliated with the Hong Kong University, and should, if possible, have the power to confer degrees, so that it may compete on equal terms with existing non-British institutions.\n3. The location of the institution should be at one of the following places: Peking, Shanghai, Hankow, the preference being in the order given.\n4. It is essential that the main institution should be supported by a number of schools that would serve it as feeders. To that end existing British schools and colleges that are willing and able to conform to the required standard should be aided by Government subsidies.\n\nAt present, existing British schools and colleges in China receive no Government support, as do many non-British institutions. Hence British-controlled schools, especially those of the missionary societies, are understaffed and poorly equipped, and in the eyes of the Chinese compare unfavourably with non-British institutions.\n\nThis only asks for the extension of the system in vogue in India and Hong Kong to British schools in China.\n\n5. In all approved schools and colleges there should be established scholarships, the winners of which would be entitled to continue their education at the head institution or at the Hong Kong University.\n6. In the head institution provision should be made for the regular sending of selected graduates to England for further training in English universities.\n7. The head institution should organise a normal department.\n\n## List of Schools under British Control in China\n\n### Chekiang\n\n| School | Principal |\n| --- | --- |\n| Hangchow Medical and Maternity Training Colleges | Dr. Duncan Main, C.N. |\n| Ningpo English Methodist College | H.

Department of Technology.-Under this department there shall be special laboratories for fuel technology, metallurgical experiment and public assay, material testing and standardisation, and various industrial researches the importance of which needs of no comment.\n\nIII-Organisation.\n\nWhatever is the name to be adopted for the institute, it shall consist of a central administrative body destined to assure the co-operation between the various departments above outlined. The Imperial Institute or the Department for Scientific and Industrial Research in England may be taken as models of organisation.\n\nTo study and execute the scheme, a special technical committee should be formed with competent experts appointed by the Board of Trustees of the Indemnity Fund. On the completion of their task, the committee shall be reorganised and a permanent governing body is to be formed under such name as Board of Directors, with which will be invested the central and financial control.\n\nThe scientific and technical work shall be in the hands of the directors of each department or other sub-organisation. Each department or other sub-organisation is an independent body by itself in its own administration and shall have full freedom to carry on its work to its best ability.\n\nFull encouragement shall be given to and best use shall be made of the existing efficient institutions so as to increase and co-ordinate their activity.\n\nThe central and most of the sub-organisations shall preferably be established in and near Peking, where various universities and colleges may utilise the equipment and the exhibition as places of practical study and reference for professors and students. But a number of laboratories or stations may also be established in other suitable places in China.\n\nThe institute as a whole must be national in its character, but foreign experts may be appointed when necessary.\n\nIV-Financial Appropriation.\n\nWhat is the exact financial appropriation needed for adequate execution of the present scheme depends on the concrete plan of the individual departments or other sub-organisations which has yet to be worked out. But some ideas of magnitude can be formed with the following figures.\n\nIn England, where many important research institutions have already been in existence, the Department for Scientific and Industrial Research was created by Acts of Parliament in 1916 with an initial grant of £1 million, and a yearly expenditure of about £500,000.\n\nThe United States of America spends over 1 million gold dollars a year for the geological survey alone, while the Carnegie Institution of Washington has an annual income of 1 million dollars for physical research only. The Japanese Physico-Chemical Institute is endowed with approximately 2 million gold dollars for a period of ten years. Speaking in round figures, and to begin with rather modest scale, an initial grant of 4 million dollars Chinese currency and a yearly appropriation of 2 million dollars seem to be necessary for the proper execution of the present scheme.\n\n1926\n\nDATE\n\nHONG KONG\n\n0.21125\n\n15 NOV 1926\n\nConf\n\n12\n\nNov 1926\n\n4791/1/10\n\nCIRCULATION:\n\nSt. U.S. of S.\n\nU.S. of S.\n\nU.S. of S.\n\nSecretary of State.\n\nPrevious Paper\n\n21124\n\nCanton situation\n\nCanton tel.

The dispute was not one, of which it could be predicated that it was one arising under \"this charter,\" since that had terminated by frustration a year before. An arbitration clause is not a phoenix, that can be raised again by one of the parties from the dead ashes of its former self. By its very terms, as well as by the fact that it was only one part of the indivisible charter, it had come to an end also, and it is unnecessary to consider in what terms, if any, a clause might have been framed which would have saved the clause alive in the event of the frustration of the adventure and the charter. It may be noted that in practically all the numerous cases of frustration of charters by requisitioning during recent years, the charter must have contained an arbitration clause, yet no point of this kind has apparently been raised on any ordinary form of charter. The cases in general afford little support to the idea that any form of clause would survive the contract as a whole (see Grey v. Tolme, 31 T.L.R. at p. 138, and In re Hohenzollern Co., 54. L.T.R. at p. 597, and conversely Kennedy v. Barrow in C.A. reported in Hudson on Building Contracts (ii. 415).\n\nSundry special authorities were cited in this connection, but they do not carry matters any further. They are either cases of repudiation and rescission, or of approbation and reprobation, or of continuing obligations under a contract still in being. In the Johannesburg case, it was admitted on the pleadings that the contract had been repudiated and the matters in dispute arose out of this, but at 1909, Sess. Cas. H.L. p. 53, the Lord Chancellor is reported as saying: \"If the cause of action be that there has been a repudiation or breaking of the contract, in the sense that the contract has been frustrated by the breach, then it would not be within the arbitration clause.\" Whatever exactly this sentence means, at any rate it does not help the appellants now. Conversely in Sanderson v. Armour (1922, Sess. Cas. H.L. 117), though repudiation of the contract by the defenders was pleaded by the pursuers and the case had, of course, to be dealt with on the footing that this would be duly proved it was denied, and the defenders relied on the arbitration clause and were held entitled to it. A mere allegation that they had thrown the contract up could not deprive them of the right to have the dispute dealt with by the tribunal constituted by it. In Scott v. Del Sel (1923, Sess. Cas. H.L. 38) Lord Cave, L.C., expressly laid aside the question of frustration, since by virtue of its terms the contract continued in existence even in the events which had happened. As for the case of Jureidini (1915, A.C. p. 499), insurers pleaded the absence of an award as to quantum only as a fatal non-fulfilment of a condition to the right to sue on a policy. As they had themselves repudiated the claim in toto, it was held that they could not insist on the absence of an award. It is a case of approbation and reprobation (see Macaura's case, 1925, A.C. at p. 631).\n\n11\n\nTheir Lordships' conclusion is that the arbitrator acted without jurisdiction and that the action on his award ought to have failed, and they will humbly advise His Majesty that the two judgments below should be set aside and that judgment in the action should be entered for the appellants, with costs here and below.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 515634, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-511-12 Staff list for Hong Kong- approval for staff increase in Colonial Secretary's Office 15-6-1928 - 15-6-1928", "page_number": 12, "title": "CO129-511-12 Staff list for Hong Kong- approval for staff increase in Colonial Secretary's Office 15-6-1928 - 15-6-1928", "content_text": "HONG KONG,-Continued.\n\nCADET OFFICERS,- Continued.\n\nE.

I first met him at School, and subsequently at the Liverpool University where he was a contemporary with me. I should say that of all my friends, Mr. Ashton Hill would rank as one of the most straightforward and thoroughly honest; indeed, the most striking feature of Mr. Ashton Hill is the fact that he appears to have several admirable principles, adhesion to which makes him a thorough gentleman. Mr. Ashton Hill, during the period of my acquaintance, devoted a great deal of time to juvenile organisations. He was a prominent figure in the Boy Scout Movement of Liverpool, and used to delight in organising camps, games, etc. As a thorough gentleman, I am sure that Mr. Ashton Hill would satisfy your highest expectations. Whilst Mr. Ashton Hill, as far as I am aware, did not shine at any particular game, his interest in games was very marked, and I am sure that, given the opportunity, he would foster a keen athletic spirit amongst those over whom he could exert an influence.\n\nAs to his academic attainments, I expect that others will have testified to this aspect. As a colleague, I know that Mr. Ashton Hill was an exceedingly capable experimenter with the inquisitive mind of a scientist. In addition, he was always able to explain in the simplest possible terms a complicated scientific point.\n\nMr. Ashton Hill is a wide reader and a deep thinker. Probably one of the most important features in connection with his present application is that he is the type of man who can adapt himself cheerfully to any condition; moreover, he is liked by everybody who knows him.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-511-4 Application for posts at University of Hong Kong- payment and conditions of Service 28-4-1928 - 6-9-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 517350, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-513-8 Attacks by Chinese pirates on shipping- awards for bravery 14-1-1929 - 21-12-1929", "page_number": 26, "title": "CO129-513-8 Attacks by Chinese pirates on shipping- awards for bravery 14-1-1929 - 21-12-1929", "content_text": "TIMES - 11.12.29\n\n# THE HAICHING PIRACY\n\n## OFFICIAL REPORT TO THE ADMIRALTY\n\nThe following account of the attempt by pirates to seize the British steamer Haiching off the Chinese coast on Sunday, which has been received at the Admiralty from Vice-Admiral Sir Arthur Waistell, Commander-in-Chief, China Station, was issued yesterday :-\n\nThe attempted piracy occurred about 1.30 on Sunday morning. The pirates obtained access to the grille-protected area through a coal bunker in the boiler room. The stand-off engine guards were shot while asleep, and the pirates then attempted to rush the bridge. The shots raised the alarm, and all officers repaired to the bridge and countered the attack. Chief Officer R. Perry was wounded and Third Officer Woodward was killed while proceeding to the bridge. The Chinese wireless operator states that immediate attempts to transmit S.O.S. failed owing to jamming by a shore wireless station and the subsequent break-down of the main set dynamo.\n\nThe pirates, distracted by the determined resistance of Captain Farrow and his officers, having failed to take the bridge continued to fight, and later set fire to the cabin under the bridge. The pirates were driven aft and held at bay for some three hours. They endeavoured to escape in the ship's boats, using innocent passengers as a screen, but the ship's officers prevented the lowering of the boats at this juncture.\n\nThe piracy was reported by the auxiliary wireless about 5.15 a.m. The patrol destroyer reached the Haiching at 6.30 a.m. The ship was found stopped and seriously on fire. The ship's officers were in command, and the pirates were scattered aft mixed with the passengers. A boarding party was put on board. H.M.S. **Sterling** (Lieutenant-Commander E. W. Sim) took the ship in tow, while H.M.S. **Sirdar** (Lieutenant-Commander J. S. Crawford) lay alongside. About 350 Chinese passengers were removed to the destroyer. The seriously wounded remained on board. The European passengers, consisting of one man and five women, were unharmed, and performed good work among the wounded. The fire was got under control by 11 a.m.\n\nThe Haiching proceeded under her own steam, using hand steering, at noon. All the passengers were removed to shore by the police, who are holding detailed investigations. It was estimated that six pirates were killed, and it is hoped that the identity of others will be established by a scrutiny of the passengers.\n\nSome passengers were lost through a boat's accident at the davits during the night. It is estimated that the total death roll is about 30. It is considered that the failure of the piratical attack is entirely due to the spirited resistance of the captain and officers and to the excellent anti-piratical organization of the Haiching.\n\n## The following message has been sent by the Admiralty to the Commander-in-Chief, China Station:\n\nThe Admiralty have noted with admiration the gallantry of the captain, officers, and crew of the ss. **Haiching** in successfully overcoming the attempted piracy of their vessel, and request you to convey this message to her owners.\n\n26", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-513-8 Attacks by Chinese pirates on shipping- awards for bravery 14-1-1929 - 21-12-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 521073, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-520-3 Additional pay for Cadet Officers discharging dual duties 9-9-1929 - 8-9-1930", "page_number": 8, "title": "CO129-520-3 Additional pay for Cadet Officers discharging dual duties 9-9-1929 - 8-9-1930", "content_text": "and that he agrees that no claims to repayment should be made.\n\nNikaw\n\nto for. 173 (5 anned)\n\nDESTROYED:\n\nLATUTE\n\nPage 363\n\n13.6.50\n\n20.6.36.\n\nV\n\n8.7.20\n\nLetter covering authority for the payment made to Mr. Barrow while acting as Private Secretary.

Barrow, of the Cadet Service, while acting recently in that post.\n\n2.\n\nMr. Harcourt in his despatch No.36 of 12th February, 1915, laid it down that in such cases the amount of extra salary should depend on the amount of overtime worked, and in any case should not be less than one-half of the salary of the Private Secretary. In accordance with this ruling, there have been many instances since that date of half salary, and occasionally full salary, of Private Secretary being granted in addition to the full Cadet salary.\n\n3.\n\nOn 16th November, 1929, on the departure on short leave of his Private Secretary, Captain A. J. L. Whyte, Sir Cecil Clementi appointed Mr. Barrow to act in his place. Captain Whyte did not return to duty on the expiration of his leave, and as by this time Sir Cecil Clementi had been transferred to the Straits Settlements, Mr. Barrow continued to act as Private Secretary during Mr. Southorn's administration.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nLORD PASSFIELD,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-520-3 Additional pay for Cadet Officers discharging dual duties 9-9-1929 - 8-9-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 521080, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-520-3 Additional pay for Cadet Officers discharging dual duties 9-9-1929 - 8-9-1930", "page_number": 15, "title": "CO129-520-3 Additional pay for Cadet Officers discharging dual duties 9-9-1929 - 8-9-1930", "content_text": "14\n\nC\n\nC.\n\nadministration of the Government and also for the short period between my own arrival in the Colony and the arrival of my permanent Private Secretary, which I reported in my despatch No.289 dated 23rd May, 1930.\n\n20.\n\n4.\n\nIn the previous similar cases the Cadet Officers have always been appointed to perform the duties of Private Secretary in addition to their ordinary work, and I understand that arrangements were made accordingly, though I cannot but think that it must have been extremely inconvenient. In these days the Private Secretary, who is the only Cypher Officer, has a full day's work, and in Mr. Barrow's case it would not have been practicable for him to perform other duties.\n\n5.\n\nUnfortunately Mr. Harcourt's ruling appears to have been overlooked and Mr. Barrow was authorized to draw, in addition to his full pay as a Cadet Officer, an allowance at the rate of £150 per annum, being half the salary at that time of Private Secretary, together with the appropriate Exchange Compensation Allowance.\n\n6.\n\nOn the general question, I am inclined to think that it would be reasonable to pay a Cadet Officer a special allowance of $100.00 a month, while acting as Private Secretary, in addition to his own pay as a Cadet. I find that an allowance of a like amount is paid in such circumstances in Malaya. Although such an officer may only be performing the duties of Private Secretary, the work, more especially that connected with cypher telegrams, usually entails overtime.

C. Borrett, C.B., C.M.G., C.B.E., D.S.O., and the Commandant of the Corps, are writing this appeal to you to enlist your help and interest in strengthening the numbers of the Defence Corps. Whilst we fully realize the drastic cuts in staff in many firms, we still feel that there are a number of men in the Colony who might well be enrolled in the Corps. We shall be glad therefore if you will please go through the list of members of your staff and endeavour to interest them in the Corps. Men are particularly required at this juncture for the Machine Gun Battalion and the Battery and we would urge all young men to join up in the former. For the Battery the Corps would be prepared to take any fit man of any age, for their duties in future would be such that agility and youth are not a necessity. From the information at our disposal, we know that the training now in force is such as should appeal to the intelligence of a keen man and the knowledge that every man in the Corps has now a definite role in the Defence of the Colony should be a further incentive. We append some figures showing the relative strengths of the units at present and what is expected if the Corps is to be of full efficiency and service to this Colony. In addition to the Units already specifically mentioned, we are anxious to obtain and welcome, recruits for the Engineer and Portuguese Companies.\n\n(Signed)\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nO. C.

Rand 0 142 of 1922 which reads The Gas (Carbon Monoxide) Order 1922, 16th Feb. Made by the Board of Trade under sect. 2 (4) of the Gas Regulations Act 1920, Limiting the proportion of Carbon Monoxide which may be supplied in gas used for domestic purposes.\n\n(2) No gas undertakers as defined in the Gas Regulation Act 1920 shall supply gas for domestic purposes containing carbon monoxide unless such gas possesses the distinctive pungent smell of coal gas.\n\nNo existing regulation requires analysis of the gas with regard to its corrosive elements. It is widely recognised that the oxygen content of the gas should be kept as low as possible with the view of preventing internal corrosion of the holders and to this end large undertakings such as the Gas Light and Coke Co. maintain an oil film on the surface of the water in their water-sealed holders to minimise the amount of aqueous vapour taken up by the gas.\n\n## 3.\n\nThe maintenance of gasholders comes under the Home Office and Inspectors of Factories have powers under the Factory Act to make an external inspection of gasholders. Reports of such inspections are forwarded to the Chief Inspector and I am informed that as a result of these reports on an average one gasholder per annum has been condemned as unsafe. This action has generally been taken where severe corrosion was evident and/or where holders had an abnormally large number of patches.\n\nIn the absence of legislation the position between the Home Office and the Gas Industry has been in the nature of a \"gentleman's agreement\". Recommendations have from time to time been submitted by the Institution of Gas Engineers and if no objection to these is taken by the Home Office they are passed on to the Undertakers with the understanding that their non-observance may lead to legislation which in the past the Gas Industry has been anxious to avoid.\n\n## 4.\n\nThe present position regarding maintenance of gasholders cannot be regarded as satisfactory and is not so regarded by any of the above-named gentlemen interviewed. At my first interview with Mr. Pollard on 23rd July, whilst admitting the desirability of ascertaining the internal surfaces the opening up of holders was, he said, a proceeding fraught with danger and several accidents arising therefrom had caused some concern. The Home Office have approved of a voluntary set of rules drawn up by the Institute of Gas Engineers (enclosure 1), and these rules are included in the 1st Report of the Research Executive Committee (enclosure 2).\n\nIn this connection it may be observed that in America it is common practice by means of compressors to purge the holders with inert gas and practice has recently been introduced in England by the Gas Light and Coke Co. of London.\n\n## 5.\n\nThe Gasholder Sub-Committee appeared fully alive to the necessity of drawing the attention of all undertakings to the desirability of ascertaining the condition of their holders especially as regards internal corrosion in view of the disasters at Hong Kong and Barrow-in-Furness.\n\nThe Sub-Committee have drawn up recommendations for the maintenance of the various types of gasholders which have now been submitted to the Home Office. Those relating to water-sealed holders which I believe is the only type erected in Hong Kong, are contained in a confidential draft (encl. ...). I understand the Home Office will not raise any objection to these recommendations and they will be published by the Institution of Gas Engineers at an early date.\n\nThe inspections recommended in the draft have for some years been carried out by Mr. Birks, who is also a member of the Sub-Committee. The periodical removal of small discs of the sheeting and carefully recording the results has much to commend it and there is no doubt if such methods were conscientiously carried out by all undertakings the necessity for legislation would not be immediate.\n\nThe question of the percentage decrease in thickness of sheeting allowable cannot arbitrarily be laid down, it is a matter of calculation and experience, but both Mr. Pollard and Mr. Birks expressed the opinion that general wastage approaching a decrease of 50% in thickness would undoubtedly warrant the renewal of that particular sheeting.\n\nThe most valuable of the draft is contained in the final paragraph, for had such examination been general practice among gas engineers many serious accidents would have been avoided.\n\nAt an interview with Mr. Pollard on the 11th Sept., I learnt that the National Gas Council have been \n\nPage 9\nPage 9\nPage 10\nPage 10\nPage 11", "txt_file_path":

Thanks to the foresight of Mr. John Barrow (Cadet Officer) and the work of the Land Bailiffs, the greater part of the records of the District Office North have been saved.\n\nA small part of the records were held in Pingshan and these are missing. It is impossible to state precisely what has been lost until a roomful of mixed records of D.O.North and D.O.South which the Japanese removed from Hongkong to the Government School at Yaumati have been sorted out. So far as I can gather the loss is likely to be confined to certain rent rolls and (if none of the \"Block Leases\" are missing) we should be able to reconstitute these from particulars in the schedules to Block Leases and by calling upon those who claim ownership to produce their \"Chap Chus\".\n\nGENERAL\n\nThe records of D.O. South are substantially intact.\n\n6. Though the loss of the Supreme Court and other records is grievous, I think we must consider ourselves fortunate in that we have recovered substantially all the Land Office records upon which the whole land system and a large part of the revenue of the Colony depend.\n\nFUTURE PROCEDURE IN LAND MATTERS.\n\n7. I have looked into the system of registration of claims to ownership of land and of assignments adopted by the Japanese and hope to be able shortly to submit a report thereon and a scheme for dovetailing this into our own system, but I wish first to obtain from the leading firm of Chinese conveyancing solicitors a brief report on procedure in the Japanese Land Office as seen from the angle of the legal practitioners.\n\nIt is important that we should at the earliest possible date relax so far as practicable the present restriction on transactions in land, as merchants and others will need to use their property as security for advances for the purpose of re-habilitation, but at the same time, there must in my opinion be something in the nature of block of transactions in cases such as the reassignment of mortgages by the Japanese liquidators of British and other banks, and, though I gather that forced sales were a rarity, it will I think be necessary to make some pronouncement and perhaps to legislate to cover future dealings where there have been transactions during the Japanese occupation.\n\nsd.

They are digging their toes in and confronting the civil officers concerned with all the obviously good arguments in their favour: our failure to use Kam Tin aerodrome after taking all that land; the decline in the fortunes of the Chengs of Shing Mun after their forced removal to Kam Tin; the undoubted fact, doubly telling today, that money is no compensation to unsophisticated countrymen for their land; the fact that, after enduring 3 years of Japanese occupation, the first result of British re-occupation, so far as they're concerned, is this ... The old \"Fung Shui\" argument is added to taste.\n\nThey have behind them some Red propaganda, which, however, is not acceptable to all of them. So far, there is no trace of other propaganda. Counter-propaganda is, of course, published from time to time, and a special leaflet, to be widely circulated on the spot, is under consideration.\n\nThe evicted are to be given new houses on sites to be chosen by themselves. An effort is being made to induce them to choose sites in the vicinity of the new aerodrome, so that they and their descendants may always have an opportunity to find work on and around the aerodrome supplementary to their normal farming. As for the latter, they are to choose new land from Crown Land now available, which will have to be prepared for them with machinery available for aerodrome construction. Wells will be sunk, and manure provided, with the addition of a generous layer of top-soil from the old land. The houses will have electricity. If the people concerned consent to stay in their present area, a school and a dispensary will be provided primarily for their use. From time to time, the wheels will have to be greased with monetary grants for special purposes.\n\nAll Services concerned are viewing this undertaking from the widest possible angle, taking it for granted that not merely a military aerodrome but a larger joint civil aerodrome is to be provided for. There is no danger, therefore, of villages being resited on land which might ten years hence be required for civil air purposes.\n\nJB/TC.\n\n**(Sd.) J.

I am of the opinion that none of the officers concerned should be called upon to accept personal and pecuniary responsibility for the loss of these public funds and that the sum of $34,366.29 should be written off. I consider the loss was fundamentally due not to any lack of inspection or attention to detail but to a sleight of hand trick performed with three cheques which normal checking and care would not have prevented. I am satisfied on the evidence produced that the cheques were presented by the shroff in such a way that the face of the cheque for $20,040.24 was covered up by one for $84, and the officer endorsing was thus given to believe that all the cheques were for insignificant sums.\n\n5. The District Officer New Territories has administered his area under difficult conditions since the reoccupation of the Colony. He has been faced with a shortage of efficient and experienced staff, destruction of records and the problems of communism and political crises resulting from large-scale resumption of land and rumours concerning such resumption. In the face of these difficulties he has tackled his problems with energy and determination and his achievements would probably not have been possible with a slavish observation of the letter of many financial and procedural regulations. I consider however that both Mr. J. Barrow and Mr. J.T. Wakefield should be reprimanded for the state of the accounts revealed in the committee's report.\n\n6.

There were also two receipts signed by D.O. Taipo and Yuen Long for $250 and $200 respectively making a total of $700 (as $250 + $200 + $250 = $700).\n\n(ii) No Imprest authority was seen at the time of the inspection.\n\n(iii) There is no Imprest Cash Book kept.\n\n(iv) According to Imprest Voucher No.32 of April 21st, 1948, $6.20 was expended on \"Tea, cigarettes supplied to elders of Sheung Shiu\" and charged to \"Incidentals\". This does not appear to be a proper charge to that subhead.\n\n2. Revenue.\n\n34\n\n(i) The Collection Book and Revenue Cash Book had not been posted since the 30th April last. On my instructions the books were posted up to date by the Shroff and showed a Cash Book Balance of $639.65.\n\n(ii) I could not reconcile this with the cash on hand which amounted to $1,819.95 and which included a cheque for $100 drawn by Mr. J.

It also appears that the original Treasury vouchers and the cash are kept in the D.O.'s office until disbursements are made after which the original Treasury vouchers are returned to the Treasury.\n\n(iii) The Cash Book did not appear to be totalled, balanced or ruled off.\n\n(iv) The Cash Book showed the following amounts to be on hand:-\n\n \n Treasury No.\n Amount\n \n \n 1623\n $700\n \n \n 1386\n $820\n \n \n 1669\n $20\n \n \n 1501\n $36\n \n \n Total\n $1,576 (as $700 + $820 + $20 + $36 = $1,576)\n \n\nof which Treasury Vouchers Nos. 1386, 1669, 1501 were seen but Voucher No. 1623 was stated by the Shroff, together with the amount of $700, to have been taken by the District Officer, South, for disbursement.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-607-1 Enquiry into loss of public money 22-5-1948 - 26-10-1948.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 588329, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-607-1 Enquiry into loss of public money 22-5-1948 - 26-10-1948", "page_number": 33, "title": "CO129-607-1 Enquiry into loss of public money 22-5-1948 - 26-10-1948", "content_text": "CONFIDENTIAL\n\nThe Deputy Colonial Secretary,\n\nColonial Secretariat,\n\nLower Albert Road,\n\nHONG KONG.\n\nSir,\n\nENCLOSURE 2\n\n33\n\nDISTRICT OFFICE,\n\nNEW TERRITORIES.\n\n18th June, 1948.\n\nI acknowledge the receipt of your letter No.1/233/3841/46C\n\nof the 16th of June, 1948, forwarding a copy of the report of the\n\ncommittee appointed on 20th May, 1948, to enquire into certain\n\nlosses of public money in my department.\n\n2.\n\nI forward hereunder the joint comments of Mr. J.T.\n\nWakefield, D.O.

J. BARROW AND MR. J.T. WAKEFIELD \n\nON THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT \n\n34 \n\nThe tone of the report is fair and impartial, and we thank the Committee for the hard work they have put into their investigations. \n\n2. \n\nEven so, it is inevitable that such a report could not fully cover all the ground, and we consider that the officers who have to make decisions as a result of this case will get a clearer picture of it if they read in addition our report of the 26th of May to the Committee, which we wrote in an attempt to present the whole story as clearly and objectively as we could. We are accordingly submitting a copy of that report, marginally annotated in the light of subsequent information. \n\n3. Assuming now that the Committee's Report and our Report have both been read, rather than weary the reader with comment on the Committee's Report paragraph by paragraph (which, we respectfully submit, is just what should be asked of us all orally) we proceed to comment generally on the Committee's Report. \n\n4. We are a little struck, looking at the Committee's Report as a whole, by the suggestion that Mr. Au Yeung's specious pleading has made... We consider that in our perhaps undue impression on the Committee. Report, and in such brief interviews as we had with the Committee, we came clean. Mr. Au Yeung's line, on the other hand, we consider to be dishonest. He was in charge of the accounts and of the cash, knew it, as did everybody else who counted in the Department, and his attempt to slide out of the responsibility is disgraceful and dishonest. On Mr. Au Yeung's side, the full story, as I, John Barrow, believe it to be is as follows. \n\n5. \n\nThe following is by J. Barrow alone. \n\nDuring my absence (28.6.46) Taipo had been opened up as a Sub-Accountant's Office. I returned from leave to D.O.N.T. on 1.3.47. Besides being inevitably busy in overhauling the working of my Department (only two Assistants, and they both inexperienced), I was immediately faced with the task of running the New Territories Sub-Committee of the Colonial Development Committee, which the Government had held back for my return. That job alone kept me busy until mid-May, when we presented our preliminary report, and pretty busy right up to the autumn, when our meetings ceased. From March to mid-June I must have been in my office on an average three and a half hours overtime daily; I know the Keens, with whom I was living, thought I was slightly touched. \n\nAt that time the Clerk in Charge of Accounts was Mr. Chung Tiu Kei (\"Chung I\" of our Report), who had been a first-rate man in charge of accounts at Taipo pre-war, and had run the accounts in D.O.N.T. from September, 1945, up till then. In May I had complaints against him from Taipo and Pingshan, as a result of which I wrote my instruction to A.D.O.O. of 20.5.47 which is Appendix 5 of the Committee's Report. At my request Mr. Chung Yiu Kei gave written answers to the complaints against him, which satisfied, or partly satisfied, the complainants. The file is available for inspection, if required. Partly because of this, and partly because I needed a good man to help me keep my Sub-Committee and other papers in order, I brought Mr. Chung Yiu Kei into my office as my personal assistant, and put Mr. Chan Leung Tak in charge of accounts in his place, with the clear understanding on both sides that Chan was expected to consult Chung as often as he liked about the accounts, Chung Yiu Kei being unquestionably the best man in my Department on accounts.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-607-1 Enquiry into loss of public money 22-5-1948 - 26-10-1948.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 588332, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-607-1 Enquiry into loss of public money 22-5-1948 - 26-10-1948", "page_number": 36, "title": "CO129-607-1 Enquiry into loss of public money 22-5-1948 - 26-10-1948", "content_text": "3\n\n36\n\nAll Mr. Au Yeung's references to statistical work may be taken with a catty of salt: the Statistical Section of the Office has never been much more than nominal. This is not to say that such statistical work as Mr. Au Yeung did was not good. I think he was the right man for it.\n\nIf it is true that Mr. Au Yeung, from the time of his row with Mr. Chung Yiu Kei, was not happy in charge of accounts, that never appeared. If Chung Tse Chuen, the missing man, was insubordinate, and was backed, as may well have been the case, by his friend, Chung Yiu Kei, Mr. Au Yeung never gave Mr. Wakefield or me the slightest smell of it. His minute of 26.9.47 (Appendix 4 of Committee's Report) in which he asks for transfer to statistical work exclusively, cannot be regarded as any intimation of what he now says was going on, because nobody could seriously have conceived of full-time allocation to so small a job as statistics of such an able man. Moreover, Mr. Wakefield, who saw Mr. Au Yeung and Mr. Chung Tse Chuen frequently, had the impression that they were \"as thick as thieves\". It was partly for this reason that we made in paragraph 10 on page 15 of our Report our suggestion that Au Yeung had shown \"such a degree of irresponsibility as to suggest connivance at the fraud\".\n\nI am now prepared to believe, however, that Mr. Chung Yiu Kei, instead of helping Mr. Au Yeung, put him off, and tolerated or encouraged irregular behaviour by Mr. Au Yeung's subordinate, Mr. Chung Tse Chuen. Let me make it clear, as we did in our Report that I realise that these goings on were facilitated by the lack of due attention given to the accounts by me and Mr. Wakefield.\n\n6\n\nHere ends the section by J.

We also find it hard to believe that Mr. Au Yeung, who had very little else to do, did not check the Department's accounts during that period.\n\nWe consider that not only the Shroff at Yuen Long, but Mr. Au Yeung also, who was present at Yuen Long on the 29th of April, should have kicked up a fuss about this lack of receipt.\n\nAs regards the reference herein, and elsewhere, to the practice whereby Mr. Chung Yiu Kei and Mr. Barrow each had a key to the safe in which the money was kept, it was not made clear that that safe had also to house a considerable quantity of files, and that we had to be prepared for occasions on which Mr. Barrow had to be away.\n\nRECOMMENDATIONS\n\n(Page 8 of Committee's Report)\n\nThis has been done, see the attached minute of 8.6.48 to Mr. Ashraf, the new Accountant.\n\nMr. Chung Yiu Kei's key has been transferred to Mr. Wakefield.

Barrow and J.T. Wakefield, have felt so keenly the loss which has occurred, and the concomitant implications of inefficiency, breach of public trust, and complacency, that we have been at such pains to carry out the investigation on which the foregoing Sections are based, and to record them so carefully. We hope that all the foregoing Sections will help the Committee of Enquiry.\n\n2.\n\nIn the consciousness however that even if the Committee and the Hong Kong Government find that the foregoing has been of assistance to them, they are yet faced with the difficulty and invidious task of assessing responsibility nicely, we hereby categorically confess failures on our part, some of which perhaps the Committee and the Government might hesitate to impute to us. In short, we feel that the least we can do is to come 100% clean.\n\nAs to J. Barrow\n\n3.\n\nMy failures are listed in SS V & VII. In important matters I \"failed to spot obvious weakness\", \"failed to check on this\", \"took this for granted\", and \"acquiesced\". I realise how bad this is. In particular, I am unhappy about the moral aspect: there is no doubt that if my general supervision of the accounts had been more efficient, less temptation would have been put on officers of my Department to go crooked.\n\n4.\n\nWhat does not however appear is that, though I pride myself in certain respects on mastery of my job, I know that I am inefficient as to accounts. Pre-war, at Taipo, I managed to keep my head above water by outward observance of the rules (particularly one burnt into my consciousness that as soon as my Taipo safe accumulated as much as $2,000, I must then immediately pay the cash into the bank). I never really however mastered the accounts, and have little doubt that a carefully-planned fraud would have stood a good chance of getting past me.\n\nPost-war,\n\n5.\n\nI have not done as much as I should to impress on my D.O.O. the importance of their accounting duties. I have kept them well up to the mark, I claim, in most aspects of their work, but not on this, partly because of the feeling that I was not a suitable instructor. I don't say that I have positively discouraged them from doing their accounting duties, but I admit negatively having given them little guidance in those duties.\n\n6.\n\nThough it has come tragically late in my service, this has been a lesson to me, which I think I will not forget. Certainly the work involved in delving into the details of my accounting system has been valuable experience which I hope to put to use from now on.\n\n7.\n\nAt the same time I have an uneasy feeling that my Department requires, if not permanent professional accounting supervision, at least more frequent professional check. In particular I must draw attention to the fact that the figure of $34,548.94 is still only believed to be the total sum lost, and I ask that the Accountant General's Department should professionally investigate this point, besides (as is obviously required) sending somebody over to advise on my accounts generally. Though I would be the last to quote General Orders, because it is obvious that the spirit is so much more important than the letter, I must draw attention to the fact that there has been\n\nPage 50\n\nPage 51\n\nPage 51", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-607-1 Enquiry into loss of public money 22-5-1948 - 26-10-1948.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 588347, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-607-1 Enquiry into loss of public money 22-5-1948 - 26-10-1948", "page_number": 51, "title": "CO129-607-1 Enquiry into loss of public money 22-5-1948 - 26-10-1948", "content_text": "140\n\n51\n\nno Accountant General's inspection of my accounts since the liberation. This I take it is due, as in the case of the analogous omission on the part of the Audit Dept., to shortage of staff.\n\n8.\n\nIn my investigation, and in compiling this report, I have received the fullest possible co-operation from Mr. Wakefield who, I am confident, will be very much on his guard for some time to come. I must however enter the caveat that no busy Administrative Officer who has not time to give full attention to accounts can be sure of not succumbing to carefully-planned fraud.\n\n9.\n\n10.\n\na)\n\nb)\n\nc)\n\na) As to J.T. Wakefield.\n\nI admit the charges laid against me, in Section V & VII of this report, having given the D.O.N.T., Mr. J. Barrow, my fullest co-operation in its compilation.\n\nI freely admit that the standard of my work as to Accounts has been most inefficient and that, until the unfortunate occurrence of the loss of the money, I had the briefest knowledge of the running of Government Accounts, and had Chung II been a cleverer man than he was, could have got away with still far more.\n\nI admit that on at least one previous occasion in 1945/46 I was warned by the D.O.N.T. (Mr. J. Barrow), that I should be more careful where public money was concerned.\n\nI have always had a positive dislike of Accounts in any dealings in money and openly admit that the manner in which I keep my personal accounts is most deplorable.\n\nHowever, both in assisting in compiling the foregoing report and in supervision of the Accounts in this office since the 11th May, I have come, far more, to understand the procedure of dealing with public monies and dare to say no further slip involving losses of public money will get by me, excepting of course a carefully-planned fraud.\n\nWe feel very strongly that we have been let down by the Clerk i/c Accounts, Mr. Au-Yeung, who appears to us to have shown such a degree of irresponsibility as to suggest connivance at the fraud.\n\n11.\n\nChun Yiu Kei\n\nWe attach a Table, compiled by Mr. (Chung I), Executive Officer, Grade II, who by my orders took charge of the accounts from Mr. Au-Yeung, soon after the discovery of the loss.\n\n12.\n\nIf it should appear that there is the slightest implication of negligence against Mr. Gordon Williams, the new D.O. Taipo, that implication is quite unintentional: he has only just taken over, and obviously cannot be expected to share any responsibility for what has occurred.\n\nsgd: J. Barrow,\n\nJ.T.

These boundary stones had been displaced during the period of the Japanese occupation. The actual stones were found lying not far from the places where they originally stood.\n\n2.\n\nThe re-erection of these boundary stones was the culmination of efforts which have been made since May 1946 to persuade the Chinese authorities to send an inspection party in order that the stones might be jointly replaced. The long delay seems to have been due to the difficulty in securing coordination between the various Chinese authorities concerned in this question. It was not until March this year, when, at the urging of H.M. Consul General in Canton, Dr. T.V. Soong, Governor of Kwangtung, took a hand in the matter, that things began to move. It was pointed out to Dr. Soong that there was no question of delimiting a new frontier, but merely of returning the displaced boundary stones to their original positions for the administrative convenience of both sides.\n\n3.\n\nThe Chinese representatives appointed for the purpose were headed by General HSU Ching Tang (許景棠), Commissioner for Civil Affairs, Kwangtung Provincial Government. The others included WONG Kai Hau (黃啟厚), Po On District Magistrate (this being the area adjoining New Territories on the Chinese side), PAN Hsu Chung (潘緒忠), a department head in the Kwangtung Provincial Government, Civil Affairs Department, LI San Man (李三滿) of the Canton Office of the Special Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, WU Hsin Hsiung (吳新雄) of the Hong Kong Office of the Special Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, and also, in an honorary capacity, General CHU Li-chuan (朱立纘) who was awarded an O.B.E. in 1946 for services rendered to the British when he was attached to the Headquarters of the 7th War Zone at Kukong during the war. The Hong Kong Government were represented by Mr. J. Barrow, O.B.E., District Officer, New Territories, Mr. C.B.B. Heathcote-Smith, Political Adviser, Mr. E.D. Stansfeld, Superintendent of Crown Lands and Surveys, and Mr. I.M. Gordon-Williams, District Officer, Taipo. Mr. C.M. Leung, a secretary from the British Consulate-General in Canton also came down to act as a liaison officer, and proved extremely helpful.\n\nThe Chinese representatives arrived at Shanchun railway station on the border on April 15th, and were met by Mr. Barrow and Mr. Heathcote-Smith. The party then proceeded to Shataukok where maps were produced by both sides and an inspection carried out on the spot. Agreement on the location of the boundary stones in question was reached rapidly and amicably.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nARTHUR CREECH JONES, M.P.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-609-7 Future policy- New Terriroties- replacement of boundary stones at Sha Tau Kok 23-4-1948 - 28-1-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 590856, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-611-2 Liaison with British Embassy and consulates in China- appointment of political advisor 1-9-1945 - 20-10-1947", "page_number": 80, "title": "CO129-611-2 Liaison with British Embassy and consulates in China- appointment of political advisor 1-9-1945 - 20-10-1947", "content_text": "# STAFF\n## CONFIDENTIAL\n\nSir,\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, \nHONG KONG. \n24th January, 1947\n\nI have the honour to refer to my confidential despatch of 14th July, 1946, and your telegram No. 18 of 5th January, 1947, regarding promotions of Cadet Officers to Class I and to address you on the subject of an appointment to the post of Secretary for Chinese Affairs which has been vacated through the retirement of Mr. R.

In considering which officer to recommend for the post of Secretary for Chinese Affairs, I have omitted Mr. Kennedy-Skipton, the question of whose resumption of duty is still not settled.\n\n4. Mr. Wynne-Jones is now Postmaster General, which post he has filled satisfactorily since 1936 except for a short period as Labour Officer in 1940. He is over 51 years of age and will be due to go on leave prior to retirement in a few years' time. He has not had experience of the Chinese Secretariat and has never acted as Secretary for Chinese Affairs, most of his service having been in the Colonial Secretariat, as District Officer, as Magistrate and latterly as Postmaster General. He is a competent officer but is not fit for promotion to the important post of Secretary for Chinese Affairs.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nA. CREECH JONES, P.C., M.P.\n\nRECEIVED \n31 JAN 1947 \nC. O.

It was generally agreed that the situation was appreciated by the Secretary of State and that it would be preferable to wait until the autumn if by so doing the services of Sir Patrick Abercrombie could be secured.\n\n(b) **Progress Reports**\nTwo had been despatched since the last meeting giving a summary of the position up to date. Here the Chairman made mention of a minute from the Honourable C. S. to His Excellency, referring to these progress reports, in which it was mentioned that a general report would be submitted by the Chairman by the end of the month. While the Chairman did not feel optimistic that it would be possible to submit a report covering the ten-year period, he felt it might be possible to give an indication of the main results so far achieved.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-618-1 Institute of Medical Research- proposed construction 21-4-1947 - 5-12-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 594514, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-618-1 Institute of Medical Research- proposed construction 21-4-1947 - 5-12-1947", "page_number": 15, "title": "CO129-618-1 Institute of Medical Research- proposed construction 21-4-1947 - 5-12-1947", "content_text": "## (o) Education Sub-Committee\n\nAn interim report submitted by this Sub-Committee was circulated to members for consideration at a later date. The amended terms of reference to include cultural facilities were read and accepted. The names of members invited to serve (Mr. W. N. Tam, Dr. J. P. Fehily, and Mr. George White) were also read, and on the recommendation of the Director of Education, approval was given that a lady should be co-opted to this Sub-committee if someone suitable could be found.\n\n## (d) New Territories Development Sub-Committee\n\nMr. Barrow reported that five meetings had been held and that the personnel remained unchanged.\n\n## 4. PUBLIC HEALTH SUB-COMMITTEE'S FINAL REPORT\n\nThe Honourable D. M. S. in presenting his report asked that he might be allowed to amplify a few points on behalf of his committee. His fellow members felt that Housing is an extremely important matter in any development scheme in Hong Kong, so much so that this had been emphasised in the report even to the extent of encroaching on the grounds of the Housing & Town Planning Sub-Committee.\n\nThe provision by Government of a Tuberculosis Sanatorium has been placed low down on the priority list on the assumption that the Hong Kong Anti-Tuberculosis Association will raise funds from the local community and so save Government capital expenditure, provided that suitable sites are made available free or at a nominal cost by Government. Enquiries have already been made concerning two sites.\n\nThe Honourable Dr. S. N. Chau, Chairman of the Association, supported the Honourable D. M. S. and stressed the fact that a sanatorium is very much needed here. Mr. Dhun Ruttonjee, Treasurer of the Association, emphasised the fundamental importance of a suitable site being made available and thus freeing the Association funds for capital expenditure; he hoped that it would be possible to raise about 1 1⁄2 million for this purpose.\n\nThe Chairman promised to clarify this point in his report that is being prepared for the Secretary of State.\n\nOne other point in connection with Housing was made by the D. M. S. He said that it might be possible to obtain funds from a source other than the C.D. & W. fund, namely, the Lord Mayor's Fund. Contributions were made to this specifically for sufferers from air raids in the Far East, and he felt that a proportion might be appropriately used for the re-housing of persons who had their houses destroyed by air raids and shellfire during the war.\n\nThe Chairman asked whether the Honourable D. M. S. had any particular areas in mind, and he mentioned Hunghom, which had been destroyed by American bombing, and Kennedy Town area, which had been destroyed during the original bombardment of the colony by the Japanese. He added that his committee felt that two model ...\n\nPage 15", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-618-1 Institute of Medical Research- proposed construction 21-4-1947 - 5-12-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 599110, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-627-1 Economic and social survey- new territories 1-2-1950 - 31-7-1951", "page_number": 3, "title": "CO129-627-1 Economic and social survey- new territories 1-2-1950 - 31-7-1951", "content_text": "Mr Sumidge.\n\n3\n\nNo Nicoll left Starday this morning for a fortnight's visit to Edinburgh & is there expected to return to London about the 3rd April for four days.

Perhaps you would let me know whether this would be convenient for you and I will then confirm the date with Professor Firth.\n\nIn connection with the survey itself Professor Firth mentioned that he has a very competent post-graduate student who has been thinking of going out to Hong Kong University whom he thought might be very useful in connection with such a survey as that proposed. He said that he would sound her, quite informally, on the matter and possibly bring her along to meet you on the 17th.

Cross checks on the information obtained about holdings would have to be made in the District Land Registry Offices.\n\nMr Barrow said that the survey would cover from 600 to 800 villages and hamlets and approximately 200,000 people.

I enclose the relevant extract from the letter he wrote to me at the conclusion of his stay here.\n\n3.\n\nMy present view is that this Survey should be carried out by local investigators and not by experts brought to Hong Kong for the purpose. I think we have several people who will prove to be satisfactory for work of this kind. You will appreciate, however, that there are good reasons why a Survey, if it is to be carried out at all, must be done on the right lines technically, which is an argument in favour of the outside expert, but at the same time must not upset the villagers as this might have serious political repercussions. This is an argument in favour of the local investigators doing the job.\n\n4.\n\nBarrow, the District Commissioner New Territories, will be leaving shortly on home leave. While he is in Singapore he will discuss the Survey with Dr. Benham and I would be glad if, when Barrow is in London, you could arrange for a discussion to take place with Surridge and Nicoll. I suggest also that it might be useful to consult Professor Raymond Firth of the London School of Economics at some stage in the proceedings. If it is possible in this way to obtain guidance on various points which are at present worrying us, it should, I think, be our aim to launch the Survey in the late autumn of this year.\n\n5.\n\nWe would propose to apply for a grant for the Survey from the Colonial Development and Welfare Fund.\n\nYours ever,\n\nM.

The terms seem sufficient to cover food and accommodation!\n\nI do not know whether he should be offered a clothing allowance as I doubt very much if he has any tropical clothing but that of course depends on the time of year he comes out.
