Borne down by the tide of adversity which overflowed this country in the disastrous year of '47, and subsequently, you, like many others, were forced to yield and try your fortune in a distant land. You have had our heartfelt sympathies in your trials and reverses, and now that, in more prosperous times, you are once again among us, we offer you, from us all, without distinction of creed or class, from your brother magistrates with whom you have acted, from the clergy of all persuasions by whom you were respected, and from the people generally by whom you were beloved, this expression of our welcome and feelings towards you.

SUTHERLAND, JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE, Esq., C. C. SMITH, Esq., the Acting Spanish Consal, Dr RODRIGUEZ, Mr and Mrs SCOTT, Mr D'ALMADA, of the Colonial Office, &c.\n\nThe day's proceedings commenced with the delivery, by the Rev. T. RAIMONDI, of an introductory address, descriptive of the rise and progress of the Institution within whose walls they were then assembled, and a brief explanatory statement of the course of study adopted and pursued therein. The Reverend Gentleman read this address, a copy of which we have been fortunate enough to secure. We therefore give it entire. It was as follows:--\n\n**YOUR EXCELLENCY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,**\n\nSaint Saviour's College, which you have this day honoured with your presence, is not of very ancient date. Five years ago, we opened our first school for European children in a small house hired for the purpose. We began with 20 pupils and two teachers, one English, the other Portuguese. Two years later, the number of pupils having very considerably increased, we built two additional rooms for their accommodation, and, in the third year, we added another room for the Chinese children who wished to learn English.\n\nIt was only last year that we took possession of this new and handsome building specially designed for educational purposes, and named Saint Saviour's School. During the past year many pupils have been sent to us from the different ports in China, and the name has, consequently, been changed to Saint Saviour's College, which numbers now nearly 140 pupils, 27 boarders, upwards of fifty European, and about sixty Chinese day scholars. It is now two years since we first ventured to call public attention to our doings by instituting a public examination of the pupils and a solemn distribution of the prizes. On that occasion the Honourable the Acting Chief Justice did us the honour to preside, inspiring and delighting the boys by his kindness and affability. It is most gratifying to us who are doing our best to carry on these schools successfully, to see your Excellency and so many ladies and gentlemen assembled here to-day to do us honour. I thank you most heartily in the name of these children for your kindness, and I have no doubt, that they will derive new strength and courage from your visit, and be urged on and encouraged to pursue their studies with more ardour than before.\n\nFive languages are taught here, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese, Arithmetic in all its branches, Algebra, Mensuration, Book-keeping, Geography, History, Music, vocal and instrumental, and Drawing are also taught. The staff of teachers comprises eight individuals of different nations.\n\nSaint Saviour's is essentially a Commercial School. In an English colony, supported entirely by commerce, with a European population who must earn their bread by trade, it would be a manifest folly to instruct the youth in any branches of human knowledge not directly or indirectly required in the daily business of their lives.\n\nBut neither have we so strictly limited ourselves in laying down our plan of study as to cramp the intellect, or to render our pupils unfit for other and more purely intellectual employments. A sound knowledge of mathematics, of geography, of history, and of modern languages is a preparation for any position or employment however high. A youth thoroughly grounded in those branches has had his powers of reasoning fully and fairly developed, and the way laid open before him for the cultivation of all his mental powers.\n\nNeither have we neglected, in the pursuit of more solid accomplishments, those branches which in every sphere of life render men acceptable in society, and keep their hearts fresh and untainted by the selfish passions of maturer years. Music and drawing relieve and diversify the severer studies which, while they strengthen the reason, tend very often, to wither and dry up the heart and the affections. Living with our pupils not only during school-hours, but throughout the day, we give our whole hearts to the work. We endeavour, by precept and example, to strengthen their minds, to elevate their hearts, to render them gentlemen in every sense of the word, fit to take their places in the world and in society, good men and useful citizens. Such has been our aim; how far we have succeeded you will now have an opportunity of judging. You must not expect to find our pupils finished scholars. They are still only boys, although well disposed and not unworthy of the honour you have done them in coming here to-day. In conclusion, permit me to express our pleasure that in our school established under the protection of the British flag are to be found students from every port in China and in the East; Hongkong is the commercial centre and capital of these Eastern lands, We hope to see it the capital of science and of literature.\n\nThe Rev. Gentleman was listened to throughout with attention, and more than once vigorously applauded. Those who had been present at the examinations on the two previous days gave willing testimony to the truth of his assertions and to the progress that had been made by the boys in their studies.\n\nOn the Rector resuming his seat, a number of the little fellows stood forward and sung, to the accompaniment of the piano, with no small skill and taste. The Pianist, a youth of fifteen and a native of Manila, reflected the greatest credit on his instructors, by the ease and correctness with which he executed, during the course of the day more than one very difficult piece. In addition to being well taught, the boy must be gifted by nature with a very correct ear and a very considerable degree of talent for music. His performance was really wonderful.\n\nAt the conclusion of the song, declamations, recitations and musical exercises followed one another alternately. A scene from Shakespeare, a French poem, a Spanish ballad, an extract from some Portuguese poet, and a Chinese piece, were effectively rendered amid the applause of the audience. The youngsters fully deserved the cordial reception they received at the hands of their visitors. Then followed the distribution of the prizes, books carefully and well selected, which were handed to the victors in the several classes by His Excellency Mr MERCER with a few words of advice and encouragement. We give the list of prizes below. Each of the little fellows as he retired with his premium received the plaudits of his school-fellows and friends, but we missed the enthusiasm that would have prevailed among English boys on such an occasion. How well we remember the prolonged and noisy exclamations that used to greet, in our distant school-days, the success of some favourite of his school-fellows, and how difficult it sometimes was to preserve the necessary degree of silence and attention after the first three or four names had been read out.\n\nWhen the last book had been placed in the hands of the little Chinese boy whose prize it was, Mr MERCER rose, and addressing himself to the Rev. the Rector of the College, to the Vicar Apostolic Father Luis AMBROSI, and to the Gentlemen around him, expressed his gratitude to the Superiors of Saint Saviour's College for their kindness in inviting him to be present on that occasion. He had been very much pleased with everything that he had seen. He was happy to know that there was so good a School in the Colony, one so likely to be useful. He congratulated the Rev. Rector and the Officers of the Institution on the successful results of their labours. He had experienced a very great degree of pleasure in distributing the prizes among the pupils. He sincerely hoped that those who had that day been rewarded would be thereby encouraged to persevere in the honourable course on which they had entered, that those who had not received premiums would be incited to further exertions in the hope of obtaining similar rewards on a future occasion. In conclusion, he begged to return his very sincere thanks to the Rev. Father RAIMONDI for his kind invitation, and to the Gentlemen around him for their presence and support.\n\nThe Rev. Gentleman replied in a few well-chosen words, acknowledging His Excellency's kindness in presiding, and hoping to be able, on some future occasion, to exhibit a very marked improvement.\n\nThe proceedings terminated with God Save the Queen.\n\n[ \"Evening Mail\" 4th August, 1865 ]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-106 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1865 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 264797, "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": "CO129-111 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1866 [1-2]", "page_number": 179, "title": "CO129-111 - Acting Governor Mercer - 1866 [1-2]", "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD SEPTEMBER, 1864.\n\n### STATE OF THE WEATHER\n\n#### METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS TAKEN AT THE GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL, VICTORIA, HONGKONG, FOR THE MONTH ENDING JULY, 1864.\n\n| BAROMETER | THERMOMETER (Fahrenheit) | WIND | RAIN | HYGROMETER | \n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | \n| STANDARD | ATTACHED | IN SHADE | DETACHED | IN SUN | IN WATER | COMPLETE SATURATION | DRY BULB IN SHADE | WET BULB IN SHADE | DEW POINT | VELOCITY IN INCHES COMPUTED |\n| 29.77 | 29.86 | 29.50 | 29.49 | 85 | Overcast and cloudy | 0.867 | 0.809 | 75.00 | 78.09 | 41.807 | 0.877 | 76.00 | 73.13 | 0.905 | 0.830 |\n| 29.90 | 29.80 | 29.56 | 29.50 | | Overcast and cloudy | 0.81 | | | | | | | | | |\n| 30.04 | 30.07 | 29.72 | 29.70 | 87 | Fine, but cloudy | 0.767 | 0.902 | 70.09 | 72.00 | | 0.742 | 0.760 | 70.09 | 71.09 | 0.30 |\n| 30.00 | 30.03 | 29.65 | 29.63 | | Cloudy, rain with strong breeze | 0.610 | 0.810 | 78.00 | 78.00 | | | | | | |\n| 30.07 | 30.06 | 29.62 | 29.55 | | Overcast, cloudy, strong breeze & rain | 0.657 | | | | | | | | | 1.10 |\n| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |\n| Mean | 29.91 | 29.52 | 29.49 | | | | | | | | | | | | |\n\nMean daily range of temperature........11.00 degrees.\n\nPage 320\n\n## IN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG.\n\n### Between CHON AH KWEI, Plaintiff, and DAVID COWEN, Defendant.\n\nWHEREAS an action has been commenced in this Court at the suit of the above named Chon Ah Kwei against the above named David Cowen to recover Seven Hundred Dollars damages alleged to have been sustained by the Plaintiff by breach of contract on the part of the Defendant; and it being alleged that the said David Cowen does not reside within the Island of Hongkong or its dependencies a Writ of Foreign Attachment has been issued returnable on the Nineteenth day of September instant, wherein Adolph Bourjan, and Arthur Booth of Hongkong, partners in the Mercantile firm of Messrs.

VON GUMPACHI.\n\nThis appeal from Her Majesty's Court for China and Japan came on for hearing, and presented some remarkable features. The appellant is a British subject, and occupies an important position in the service of the Emperor of China as inspector-general of customs.\n\nThe respondent is a naturalised British subject, and is an astronomer and mathematician. Both met in London in August, 1866, and it was alleged that Hart represented to Von Gumpach that he was entrusted with the formation of a college and observatory at Peking, which college was to be an institution for the teaching to the Chinese of Western sciences and learning, \"with a view to the regeneration of China,\" and that he was to procure a library and appoint professors.\n\nIn consequence of these alleged representations, Von Gumpach went to China, and his salary was to be £600 a year. He alleged that there was no such institution, and that he was willing to discharge the duties of his appointment.\n\nHe alleged that Hart represented to the Tsang-li Yamen, or Foreign Board, that he had absented himself, and he received an intimation from the Chinese Government that his services were no longer required; and since the 30th September, 1868, he had been unable to obtain any salary.\n\nHe brought his action against Hart in Her Majesty's Court, and claimed £3,000 as compensation besides his salary.\n\nThe cause was tried before a jury, and they gave £1,800 as damages and 176 taels for money payable to Von Gumpach.\n\nThere had been a demurrer and further litigation, and one point urged for the present appellant was that these were privileged communications from him as to the office he held under the Chinese Government.\n\nThe Court, after further litigation, decided in favour of the plaintiff (the present respondent), and the defendant (the present appellant) has obtained special leave to appeal to Her Majesty in Council.\n\nHe denied the alleged misrepresentations, and stated that the Court at Peking had found in his favour as to the representations, and gave damages to Von Gumpach for the loss of his situation, and for money due on account stated.\n\nHe appealed on several grounds—that the verdict was against evidence, on misdirection, and on the privileged communications.\n\nSir John Karslake, Q.C, with whom was Mr. F. Herschell (instructed by Messrs. Murray and Hutchins), appeared for the appellant; Mr. Benjamin, Q.C., and Mr. Myburgh (instructed by Messrs. Brooks and Co., of Doctors' Commons) were for the respondent, the plaintiff in the original action.\n\nMr. Benjamin discussed the several points. He urged that the appellant was liable to the respondent for the wrongs he had committed against him.\n\nThe Chinese Government had not adopted the acts of the appellant as their servant, and therefore it was not an Act of State.\n\nIt was idle for the appellant to say that what he did was by order of the Chinese Government, and that, therefore, he was not amenable to the laws in Her Majesty's Court for China and Japan.\n\nHe cited various authorities in support of his contentions that unless a Government adopted the acts of their servant, the servant was liable, and could not shield himself under the authority of an Act of State and justify the wrong he had committed.\n\nFurther, the learned counsel submitted that Her Majesty's Treaty with the Emperor of China gave all British subjects a right to resort to the Supreme Court for redress; and it was no answer for the appellant (the original defendant) to say what he had done was as servant of the Emperor when malice was alleged against him.\n\nThe question of privilege would not go to such an extent as to shield a man from false representations, and none of the cases cited would support the points raised by the other side.\n\nMr. Myburgh followed on the same side.\n\nSir John, in reply, cited several cases in support of the view he had submitted—namely, that the original action could not be maintained, and that the demurrer ought to have been allowed.\n\nIt was not an action between two British subjects, as was contemplated by the Treaty, but an action against a Minister of China for an act done as such Minister.\n\nBoth parties had been in the service of the Emperor, and the reports made by Mr. Hart were privileged communications, and it was not by merely alleging malice that the protection extended to such documents was to be removed.\n\nThe matter was of importance, and he asked their Lordships to allow the appeal.\n\nSir Montagu Smith, on the conclusion of the arguments, announced that their Lordships would take time to consider their judgment.\n\nCOURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.\n\nIONIDES V. PENDER.\n\nThis was a case (tried last term) of some mercantile importance as to marine insurance, especially with reference to over-insurance.\n\nIt was an action on several policies of insurance, on goods, on profits, on charterparty, and of commission, amounting altogether to some thousands of pounds.\n\nThe defence set up was that there had been enormous over-insurance, and that the ship was not lost by perils of the seas, but had in reality been scuttled.\n\nThe policies were affected by a firm at Hamburg, who had chartered and loaded the ship for a commercial adventure to a port La Sineria.\n\nOn the voyage the vessel sprang a leak, and is making four inches water per hour in still water.\n\nCASUALTIES.—The Carolina (Spanish barque), from Manila to Cadiz, with tobacco, went a bore on Sandalwood Island. Sept. 15, but got off without damage, after remaining on the reef seven days.\n\nThe Hebe (ship, of Rotterdam. Meermans, from Batavia, to Rotterdam, put into Mauritius, Oct. 5, leaky, having encountered a very heavy N.E. to N.W., and S. W. gale Sept. 21st, in lat. 12 S., lon. 93 E., during which\n\nTHE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\n811\n\nNov. 18, 1872.\n\nMISCELLANEOUS.\n\nEXTRACTS FROM MEDHURST'S \"FOREIGNER IN FAR CATHAY.\"\n\nAfter what I wrote in my last letter of the negotiations between the commissioners of the two legislative bodies of this city having been broken off because they could not come to an agreement on the vexed question of the Bank Valuta, your readers will no doubt be greatly surprised to hear that, after all, the affair has been finally set at rest and disposed of by a compromise, both sides having given way to a certain extent.\n\nThe draft of the Bill sent by the Senate to the Burgerschaft, but rejected by them, served as a sufficient basis for a rapprochement, and as both parties were agreed in principle, and only differed on certain, though important, points, the door was again opened for discussion.\n\nAn abstract of the amended Bill as agreed to is as follows :--\n\nLaw for the Alteration of the Hamburg Bank Valuta.\n\nArt. 1. Closing of the Accounts based on Silver Bars.—The date is fixed for the 15th Feb., 1879, the Burgerschaft originally wishing it to take place within eight days, and the Senate inclined to keep them open for six months longer.\n\nAfter the above date the balances of accounts can only be repaid in silver bars.\n\nArt. 3. Denomination of Payments in the New Currency made through the Bank.—In all agreements and contracts where payment is stipulated to be made through the Bank, it is required to write after the amount the letters B.Z., which stands for Bank Zahlung, or Bank payment.\n\nI have dwelt thus much upon the characteristics of the servants employed by foreigners, not only to show how they fare in this particular, but because these servants are the only natives with whom the foreign merchant comes more immediately into contact.\n\nThe opinion prevalent at home that foreigners mingle in Chinese society generally is altogether a mistaken one.\n\nThe conventional rules of the Chinese are so constituted, and their habits of thought and customs so peculiar, that there is little or no encouragement to court acquaintance on either part, even were the entire ignorance of each other's language not to present a serious bar in the way of an interchange of ideas.\n\nThere is a class of Chinese brokers and middle men who haunt the offices of the merchants, but they are mostly shrewd, clever upstarts, whom the difficulties of interlingual communication have introduced into the trade, and, with rare exceptions, they lay no claim to respectability even with the Chinese themselves.\n\nThe language employed between these brokers and the merchants is a jargon made up of English, Portuguese, Chinese, and Malay words, tortured into unrecognizable shapes and constructions, and it is little fitted to sustain any conversation beyond what appertains to the mere technicalities of trade.\n\nI have frequently expressed to our merchants the opinion that it is a pity they do not take the trouble to learn the Chinese language.\n\nIt is an acquirement in the spoken form to an extent sufficient for all practical purposes; offers no difficulties that an average intellect and a moderate share of determination cannot surmount, and familiarity with it would have the effect of freeing the foreigner from the domination of roguish brokers and compradores, at whose mercy he now lies, whilst it would open the way to a more extended acquaintance and friendly intercourse to the mutual advantage of both parties.\n\nThere is perhaps no country in the world frequented by the English-speaking race in which merchants are so lamentably ignorant of the customs and resources of the locality in which they live as they are at this moment in China, and this is entirely to be attributed to a want of familiarity with the language.\n\nTHE SUEZ CANAL.\n\nThe Suez Canal Company will continue to insist upon its recent advance of tolls, and declares that it will appeal to the decision of the Government.\n\nThe Ottoman Porte has protested, by order of the Sultan, against the competency of the Tribunal de Commerce de la Seine to interpret the Act of Concession of the Canal—a power which belongs to itself alone.\n\nThe Turkish Government also maintains that, the company being an Egyptian association, subject to the Ottoman jurisdiction, and having its headquarters at Alexandria, cannot admit a foreign jurisdiction in respect to its differences with third parties.\n\nThere is some idea of inviting the Marine Powers to hold a conference at Constantinople, in order to agree upon a uniform system for the measurement of tonnage.\n\nForeign Intelligence.\n\nGERMANY.\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nHAMBURG, Nov. 12.\n\nArt. 4. Belehnungen (or advances on deposits).—After the close of the silver accounts the Bank is authorised to receive as deposits the foreign coin hitherto accepted, as well as gold and silver bars, and credit the depositors for the amount in the new currency, according to the regulations drawn up by the administrators of the Bank and having been approved of by the Senate.\n\nArt. 5. Deferred fulfilment of obligations to pay in Banco.—After the closing of the silver accounts, all still outstanding engagements in Hamburg banco or in species banco, whatever may be the period of their origin and the nature of the claim, must be settled by Bank payment in Imperial gold coin, or in double or single silver thalers of German mintage, at the fixed rate of 150 marks new currency for 100 marks banco, with an agio of 18 per mille for species banco.\n\nBills of exchange falling due on the 15th of February, but not presented for payment till after that date, are to be calculated at the officially quoted price of silver on the day of their maturity.\n\nArt. 6. Transitory Regulations.—During the period of transition, viz., from the date of the opening of the accounts in the new Imperial currency till the 15th of May, 1873, creditors of the Bank may have the amount of their balance in Banco transferred, partly or entirely, to their account in the new currency at the fixed rate of 145 marks Imperial currency for 100 marks Banco, as such transfers are to be considered as Belehnungen, or advances on deposits.\n\nThe sum thus transferred may, at any time during the period of transition, be re-transferred to the silver account of the owner; but all such re-transfers must be made before the expiration of the period of transition, in default of which the Bank is authorised to realise the silver for account of the proprietor.\n\nDuring the period of transition only those who have paid in gold coin or silver thalers are at liberty to withdraw their balances in the same money.\n\nDuring the period of transition no charge will be made by the Bank on Imperial gold coin or silver thalers paid in or taken out.\n\nThe publication of this new law will take place in the course of this week, and the date to be fixed for the opening of the accounts in the new Imperial German currency is expected to be the 15th inst.\n\nBut this arrangement has no effect on cash payments made in Hamburg and Lubeck currency, which retain their value as hitherto, till a sufficiency of the new money is coined, which, as the minting operations proceed but slowly, may be deferred for two or three years longer.\n\nIt will be seen by the above that the Bergerschaft have abandoned one of the principal points on which they were at issue with the Senate, and that is that the loss sustained by the conversion of Banco into new currency, the agio on silver being at present rather more than one per cent. above par, should be borne by the State.\n\nAs it now stands everyone who has Banco will only get 150 marks new currency for every 100 marks Banco, and must bear the loss himself.\n\nThe sharp and somewhat bitter remarks made by certain organs of the press in England respecting the award of the Emperor of Germany in his capacity of Arbitrator in the Anglo-American dispute about the San Juan question have found a responsive echo at Berlin; and if these counter remarks have not been translated and reprinted in the English papers, it is perhaps owing to the editors remaining reticent, not to aggravate and increase the ill-feeling between the two countries.\n\nOne of your contemporaries says that the award is remarkable for being written in the German language, instead of the customary diplomatic French\" to which the Germans reply that this is an exploded idea, quite out of date; that the despatches of the German Government—railway companies have received instructions to discontinue, from December 1, the eddies hitherto praised to emigrants, of a reduction in the fares—amounting in some instances to 50 per cent.—and double allowance of luggage (100 lb. per head).\n\nThe number of emigrants that passed through this city to the end of October, 1871, is officially stated to be 37,324 persons, whilst at the same period this year it has risen to 65,151, and before the end of the year will no doubt have reached 80,000.\n\nDr. Hilgendorf, a native of this city, and formerly director of the Hamburg Zoological Gardens, and now professor at the Royal Polytechnic at Dresden, has received a call to go to Japan to prepare young natives for their subsequent studies of medicine at German universities.\n\nA considerable number of Japanese are now studying at Berlin, Leipzig, and Heidelberg.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 288903, "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": "CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12]", "page_number": 276, "title": "CO129-159 - Sir Kennedy - 1872 [9-12]", "content_text": "to Sir Arthur Kennedy; he will get about the end of this month Lord Kimberley's despatch of 18th September which will tell him that 3 months extension was granted to him, but apparently he will not know when that extension dates from.\n\nI think I would telegraph.\n\nSAR 16/10/72\n\nM.

There were fifty European day scholars and a few Boarders mostly from the Philippine Islands. To S. Saviour's College were attached two classes for Chinese, one for learning Chinese only, and the others for Chinese learning English; the number of scholars frequenting both schools were upwards of fifty. His Excellency the Acting Governor, before leaving the College, complimented in a short speech the Fathers of the College and said that he was happy to know that there was so good a school in the Colony, and so likely to be useful.\n\n## FOURTH PERIOD\n\n### From 1866 to 1872\n\nOn the 12th March 1866 appeared the first Report from Mr. Stewart Head Master at the Central School and Inspector of the Government schools. Mr. Stewart first acknowledges the embarrassment of his position in having to report on the principal part of his own duties. Speaking first of the Central Schools, he says that instruction there given was still of an elementary character.\n\nThe books used in the school were those of the Commissioners for National Education in Ireland.\n\nThe progress of the boys was satisfactory. Translation and Composition were subjects of considerable difficulty. Docility and regular attendance were as good as could be desired. The original constitution of the school has been altered by having the study of the English language obligatory for every one frequenting the Central School, and this explained the reason of the number of the scholars having fallen down in 1862. They could receive only a certain number for want of competent teachers. The boys are too eager to get situations and there is a great want of them. There came the difficulty of having boys remaining the time necessary to complete their education.\n\nThe Chinese assistants have given rise to great difficulty in the proper management of the school.\n\nOne great defect in the school was the impossibility of knowing anything of the private characters of the scholars.\n\nOn one point I must be candid, says Mr. Stewart. Formerly the reading of the Bible in Chinese formed part of the school routine. During the past year this practice has been departed from. The Chinese Masters in the school are not qualified to teach it and one of the teachers has been in the habit of drawing comparisons between the Bible and the writings of the Chinese sages by no means favourable to the former. Under these circumstances I cannot give that prominence to the reading of the Scriptures by which, in a school in a Christian Colony, it ought, perhaps, to be characterised.\n\nMr. Stewart would be glad to see the Europeans taking more interest in the school.\n\nWith regard to the village schools it appears the number of scholars had increased although they did not reach yet the number found in the beginning of 1862.\n\nMr. Stewart complains of the bad way in which rolls are kept at the schools by the Chinese Masters. However in the whole there was some slight improvement in the village schools. In all these schools the Scriptures are read and in the four schools which gave most satisfaction during the year, great attention, says Mr. Stewart is paid to the reading of the Bible in Chinese.\n\n\"Nothing seems to find favour with the Chinese, says Mr. Stewart, which does not bear a market value. Hence the comparative success of the Central School, English being convertible into Dollars; hence also the neglect of the Vernacular Schools, Chinese being unsaleable.”\n\nThe number of boys going to the Government schools amount to 897. The scholars going to other schools than the Government ones are 1,273, and the children fit to go to any school are 14,000.\n\nLastly attention is called to 12,180 children in Hong-kong who go to no school. \"It is impossible, says Mr. Stewart, to over estimate the detrimental consequences which must inevitably result to the well being of the Colony with so many growing up uneducated and neglected.”\n\nThere is no mention made with regard to the expenses except that the Central school was maintained at a larger expense than before and to supply it the fees paid by the scholars amounted to $1,021.89. Mr. Stewart hints at expenses increasing in the future.

Elated as French journalists may be over the recent success in Tonquin, they would hardly, we imagine, have mentioned Chusan for seizure had they known that such seizure would furnish a casus belli to England. We will charitably conclude that the suggestion was made in ignorance of the convention of 1846 concluded by Sir JOHN DAVIS, Governor of Hongkong, and the Imperial High Commissioner KI-YING at Bocca Tigris. Articles 3 and 4 of that convention are as follow:-\n\n3. It is stipulated, on the part of His Majesty the Emperor of China, that on the evacuation of Chusan by Her Britannic Majesty's forces, the said island shall never be ceded to any other foreign Power.\n\n4. Her Britannic Majesty consents upon her part, in case of the attack of an invader, to protect Chusan and its dependencies, and to restore it to the possession of China as of old; but as this stipulation proceeds from the friendly alliance between the two nations, no pecuniary subsidies are to be due from China on this account.\n\nThe italics are ours. It will be clearly seen from these articles that Great Britain could not stand quietly by and see Chusan invaded by the French. Moreover, it will be observed that China has engaged never to cede the island to any other foreign Power. The Chinese, in the event of the French making any descent upon Chusan, would undoubtedly fall back upon this engagement by the British Government to protect the island, and even the GLADSTONE Administration could not evade the responsibility. We cannot believe, however, that the French Government would be rash enough to imperil the good relations existing between France and England, by even seriously talking of such a step.\n\nA correspondent signing himself \"An Old China Hand,\" whose letter appeared in our issue of the 3rd inst., suggested that the convention of 1846, by which the Chinese Government agreed that on the evacuation of Chusan by Her Britannic Majesty's forces the said island should never be ceded to any foreign power, had been abrogated by the Treaty of Tientsin. In a footnote to his letter we pointed out that he was entirely mistaken, the Tientsin Treaty simply abrogating the Supplementary Treaty and General Regulations of Trade, the substance of their provisions being incorporated, amended and improved, in the treaty then negotiated. Our correspondent based his contention on the preamble of the Tientsin Treaty, which states that the high contracting parties had resolved to proceed to \"a revision and improvement of the treaties existing between them;\" but by no twisting of words can \"revision and improvement of the treaties\" be construed to mean the abrogation of a convention which is in no way specifically referred to either in the preamble or text of the treaty. The existence of this convention seems to have been almost forgotten. It is not included in \"Mayers' Treaties or any similar collection with which we are acquainted, and it has consequently dropped out of sight. The statement that the French had their eye on Chusan has, however, given to the convention a renewed importance, and it may be interesting now to trace its history so far as it can be gathered from the Blue Books printed in connection with Affairs in China. Chusan having been occupied by the British in the first war, it was stipulated in the Nanking Treaty of 1842 that \"the island of Koolangsoo and that of Chusan will continue to be held by Her Majesty's forces until the money payments, and the arrangements for opening the ports to British merchants, be completed.\" In the Supplementary Treaty signed the following year it was again stipulated that \"the posts of Chusan and Koolangsoo will be withdrawn, as provided for in the treaty of perpetual peace and friendship, the moment all the moneys stipulated for in that treaty shall be paid.\" Soon after that time Mr. R. MONTGOMERY MARTIN, \"Treasurer to the Queen at Hongkong and a member of Her Majesty's Legislative Council in China,\" appeared on the scene, and addressed to the Secretary of State in 1844 a Report on Hongkong and a Report on Chusan, and in 1845 a Minute on the British position and prospects in China. Mr. MARTIN reported very unfavourably on the island of Hongkong. He saw it as a barren rock, the residents on which had not enjoyed good health, and he failed to recognise the immense commercial development of which it was capable and which it has since undergone. Governor Davis, in forwarding the report, expressed his dissent from it, and said: \"It is fair, however, to Mr. MARTIN to observe, that his remarks were written after only a few weeks' residence, under circumstances of indifferent health. I could easily point out errors in regard to facts and conclusions (did I deem it necessary to dwell upon the subject), some of which will be apparent from the public dispatches.\" Through what channel the Report on Chusan and the Minute reached the Secretary of State does not appear, nor whether they were written by Mr. MARTIN of his own motion or in compliance with a request or instructions from the Secretary of State, but at all events Governor Davis appears to have been much irritated with the report on Hongkong. Mr. MARTIN'S view was that this island was not worth retention, whereas the permanent occupation of Chusan was of the most vital importance, both from a commercial and military point of view. \"In conclusion,\" he wrote, \"there are, I respectfully submit, many cogent arguments of the highest state policy for our continued and permanent occupation of Chusan, and but one reason assigned for its\n\n41", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325399, "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": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 659, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "656\n\nlocal Government should have had\n\n5.\n\nthe advantage of consulting upon them the trained Superintendent, who has been so long and anxiously expected.\n\nIt has been stated here on apparently reliable authority, that if a trained Superintendent for Hong Kong, at an annual salary of from £800 to £1000 had been advertized for in the English Press, in pursuance of the system pursued in inviting... candidates for civil posts in English Counties, there would have been ample field for selection.

In 1878, having completed that term and being about to enter the Training College, Chester, the Revd Mr. Marston, Rector of Holy Trinity, presented me, in the presence of many well-wishers, with a purse of money as a mark of his appreciation and kind regard. During my term of study in the College (1879-80), I had the honour of distinguishing myself in Mathematics & Classics, and on leaving obtained a First Class Certificate, as well as Advanced Certificates for various sciences. From 1881-84, I held an appointment as first Assistant master in St Peter's Schools, Birkenhead, where, I believe, I gave every satisfaction.

J. H. STEWART LOCKHART'S IMPENDING DEPARTURE,\n\nA largely-attended meeting in connection with the College of Medicine for Chinese was held in the Legislative Council Chamber at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of presenting an address to the Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart, C.M.G., Rector of the College, on the occasion of his departure for Weihaiwei.\n\nH.E., the Officer Administering the Government, Major-General W. J. Gascoigne, presided, and those present, in addition to Mr. Stewart Lockhart, were Dr. Clark (Dean of the College), Dr. Ho Kai, Dr. Thomson, Dr. R. Maclean, Dr. Gibson, Dr. Noble, Dr. Pearson, Mr. E. H. Sharp, Mr. D. Wood, Mr. F. Browne, and many students of the College.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN—Gentlemen, the object for which you have all met here to-day, as I think everybody here knows, is to take farewell of Mr. Stewart Lockhart, whose departure shortly from the Colony I deplore quite as much as any of you here can do. I do not propose to detain you longer than these few words, because I know you wish to get to the actual business for which you have come here to-day; and therefore I will now call upon Dr. Clark, Dean of the College, to proceed with the meeting.\n\nDr. CLARK, in presenting the address to Mr. Stewart Lockhart, said—Your Excellency and gentlemen, the honour has fallen upon me of presenting, in the name of the Court, the Senate, and the past and present students of the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese, a small token of our appreciation to our Rector, Mr. Stewart Lockhart, on the eve of his departure from those scenes wherein he has laboured for more than twenty years. The severance of old ties and friendships is at best but a saddening process, and I feel sure that, mingled with that justifiable pride at having been selected by His Gracious Majesty the King to govern the newest of our many British possessions in the Far East, Mr. Lockhart cannot but feel a sense of some great loss, some gap which can never again be bridged, that must ever temper the natural elation of one who has been called to wider spheres of action, and who leaves behind him the friendships of his youth and early manhood. Such a sense of loss, however, is even more keenly felt by those who are thus left behind, for upon these devolves the duty of carrying on the old routine, and, no easy task, of finding new helpers in the work that must be done. I need hardly remind you that Mr. Lockhart has been associated with our College from its first inception, and shares the no small honour of having worked for its advancement, in the early days of its history, with Manson, one of the great leaders of our glorious profession, and with those bygone worthies Stewart, Young, Chalmers, and Francis, who also are now but names in the Temple of Fame.\n\nFor seven years Mr. Lockhart has presided over the deliberations of our Court, and has furthered the aims of our College by every means in his power. His interest in the natives of China is proverbial, and it is not to be wondered at, therefore, that he saw clearly the immense benefits that must accrue to those of our people living among us, from the foundation of a school for the propagation of Western science and Western methods of treatment of the sick. We know that learning originated in the East and thence spread its benign influence to the West, and it is but just, therefore, that where the West has improved upon the East, where the little grain of knowledge has increased a hundredfold, that the Mother of Wisdom should reap a share of the harvest. Our aim, as a College, has been to spread the little knowledge that we have been privileged to acquire in our island home among our native fellow-citizens in this far-off Colony, and I think we may fairly claim that our roll of students and of diplomates bears ample evidence that our labours have not been in vain. Mr. Lockhart has done yeoman service in this cause, and we have assembled to-day to bear testimony to that service and to wish him God speed in the work that lies before him in the future. Our address, therefore, is no empty platitude, but the genuine heartfelt wish of a little band of workers whose loss is another's gain. With your permission, sir, I will now read the address and will ask you to hand it to Mr. Lockhart in the name of those who have assembled here to-day to do him honour.\n\nDr. Clark then handed the address, which was bound in a handsome cover faced with silver, to His Excellency, and he, in turn, presented it to Mr. Stewart Lockhart, who bowed his acknowledgments.\n\nThe address, which was extensively signed, read as follows:--\n\nTo the Honourable JAMES HAMILTON STEWART LOCKHART, Companion of the most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, Colonial Secretary of the Colony of Hong Kong, Rector of the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese,\n\nHong Kong, 18th April, 1902.\n\nSIR,—Before you finally sever your long and distinguished connection with Hong Kong, and particularly with the College of Medicine for Chinese, we, the Members of the Court, Senate, and General Council, and past and present students, resident in the Colony, desire to convey to you our grateful acknowledgment and warm appreciation of the many and valuable services which you have rendered to the College since its inception. You are associated with Manson, Stewart, Young, Chalmers, Francis, Cantlie, and others, in the founding of the Institution in 1887, when you accepted the office of Treasurer. This office you held until 1895, when you were elected to succeed His Honour Sir Fielding Clarke, Chief Justice, as Rector of the College. You have not rested content with occupying a purely honorary position, but as President of the Court and executive Head of the College, you have actively interested yourself in all the various schemes that have been proposed for the furtherance of the objects of the College and for its development. While rejoicing that you have been called to a position of greater responsibility and honour by His Majesty the King, we cannot refrain from an expression of our regret at the loss sustained by the College in your departure from the Colony; and we desire to assure you that you carry with you our hearty good wishes for your future welfare and for your early promotion to yet more important spheres of public usefulness.\n\nDr. KWAN KING LEUNG, one of the licentiates of the College, then spoke. He said—Your Excellency and gentlemen, on behalf of the past students of the College, I desire to say a few words expressive of our profound respect and veneration for our Rector, Mr. Stewart Lockhart, and offering to him our sincere and hearty thanks for his distinguished labours for the good of the College and of the students, since its foundation until now. Mr. Lockhart has taken a great interest in this College...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-311 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne - 1902 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 384932, "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": "CO129-311 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne - 1902 [5-7]", "page_number": 173, "title": "CO129-311 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne - 1902 [5-7]", "content_text": "172\n\nwhich tended to its welfare he has ever been ready to do. His promotion is thoroughly well-deserved, but his place as Rector will be very difficult to fill. We sincerely wish Mr. Lockhart every happiness in his new sphere of usefulness, and we doubt not that before many years have passed we shall hear of his further promotion in the public service of his King and country. (Applause.) Speaking on behalf of present students of the College, Mr. Ho Ko Taun said—Your Excellency and gentlemen, in the remarks contained in the speech so eloquently delivered by Dr. Kwan King Leang on behalf of past students of the College I heartily concur, but on behalf of myself and on behalf of my fellow-students now prosecuting their professional studies in the College, I am desirous of making some additional observations. No one can appreciate as we do the great services which have been rendered to the College by Mr. Lockhart. As its Rector he neglected no means and opportunities of increasing its efficiency, he always had the welfare of the students at heart, and everything likely to benefit the profession had due and careful consideration. We scarcely know how to express to Mr. Lockhart our obligations and thanks, but we can assure him that our gratitude is both deep and sincere, and we shall long cherish his memory in our hearts; and our best wish is, that wherever Mr. Lockhart goes he and his may have perfect happiness, good health, and prosperity. (Applause)\n\nMr. STEWART LOCKHART, whose rising was greeted with prolonged applause, and who replied at great length, expressed his appreciation of the complimentary remarks that had been made concerning himself. He thanked His Excellency for being present and taking such an active part in the proceedings, thereby showing his sympathy with the Chinese College of Medicine. With regard to the kind sentiments which had been expressed and also embodied in the address, he could only say that coals of fire had been heaped on his head, because, as far as the institution was concerned, any prosperity that had attended it was not due to him, but to the staff, past and present, of doctors and students. Therefore, when he said that coals of fire had been heaped on his head, he meant that he was being given credit and praise for that which he had not done. That credit and that praise must be awarded to the lecturers and professors who had attended at the College and laboured without the least hope of reward, actuated solely and simply by a desire to further the interests of the profession of which they were such distinguished ornaments. To them, continued the speaker, thanks was chiefly due for having encouraged and carried on the College of Medicine over a period of fifteen years.\n\nDealing with the career of the College since its formation in 1887 by Dr. Manson, when, curiously enough, said Mr. Stewart Lockhart, His Excellency's predecessor in office, Major-General Wilsone Black, C.B., who then also occupied the position of Major-General Gascoigne to-day, that of the Officer Administering the Government of this Colony, occupied the chair, he said that the institution had had its struggles, as had been anticipated. Chief of these was the want of a local habitation, but one gentleman kindly came forward and undertook to provide a building if a sufficient endowment could be found. Unfortunately, however, no endowment was forthcoming, but the College was not discouraged, and carried on its good work. Now the Government had at last recognised the value of that work, and in this year's Estimates was inserted a sum which would give a slight honorarium to those engaged in the work. It must not be supposed that this honorarium was anything like a meet reward for such services, but it was an indication that the Government recognised and appreciated the labours of the institution.\n\nBesides granting this sum in the Estimates, the Government had also undertaken to establish a dispensary in the western part of the city, in charge of which would be placed one of the diplomates of the College of Medicine for Chinese. This, everybody would agree, was a step in the right direction, especially in view of the known antipathy in the Chinese to Western treatment. Continuing, he expressed the hope that the College would have a brilliant future. It had had and was still having many difficulties to face, not the least of which, as had already been said, was the want of a local habitation. The institution was filling a very great want in the Colony, and it would be remembered that during a discussion some time ago in the Sanitary Board, it was mentioned that it would be an excellent thing if graduates of the College could be obtained to instruct the native community in sanitary matters. There was not a sufficient number of students at present for that purpose, but it was probable that in the future they would be greatly useful in helping the Government in the direction indicated.\n\nAs matters stood at present, students who had qualified in the College were immediately employed by the Straits Settlements Government to the Colonial Secretary of which Mr. Stewart Lockhart said he had written asking if his Government would be disposed to join in a scheme with the Government of this Colony to establish a College in which the lecturers would be as at present volunteers willing to give their services without hope of reward. No answer had yet been received from the Straits Settlements, but he trusted that it would be a favourable one, because it would considerably lessen the difficulty of establishing a proper College, as the Straits Settlements would then join with this Government in sharing the expenses of the institution.\n\nAfter thanking Dr. Kwan King Leung and Ho Ko Tsun for their eulogistic references to himself, Mr. Stewart Lockhart addressed the students in words of advice and encouragement, and said he trusted that in the future they would use every effort to maintain the high reputation of the College of Medicine for Chinese. He once again thanked everyone for what had been said regarding himself, and his only regret was that he felt he in no way deserved it. (Loud applause.)\n\nDr. HO KAI—I rise with great pleasure to propose a vote of thanks to His Excellency, who has been so kind to all of us as to come here to-day and preside over us, thus showing, as has been remarked, his sympathy with the institution with which we all have the honour of being associated. (Loud applause.)\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—Gentlemen, I beg to thank you with my whole heart for having so kindly received the mention of my name. It was a very great pleasure, believe me—in fact, I consider it a great honour—to have been asked to come and preside here gives me another opportunity of expressing the great sense of obligation I feel I am under to Mr. Lockhart for the able and loyal co-operation with which he has worked with me during the time—a very short time—I have had the high honour of administering the Government. Up to the time of my coming to that high office, I had only known Mr. Lockhart in pleasant, social intercourse, but since I have worked with him I have recognised the loyal desire he has not only to do his duty by his immediate chief, but to do his duty thoroughly in the interests of the Colony, and I therefore would venture to take the opportunity of thanking him for his loyal ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-311 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne - 1902 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 385737, "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": "CO129-312 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [7-9]", "page_number": 342, "title": "CO129-312 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [7-9]", "content_text": "## III-LEGISLATION\n\nThirty-seven Ordinances were passed during 1901, of which fifteen were amendments of Ordinances already in force, and two were private Ordinances for the naturalisation of Chinese.\n\nFrom the Imperial point of view, perhaps one of the most important measures of the year was the first Ordinance, which raised the annual Military Contribution of the Colony from 17 per cent. to 20 per cent. of the total gross revenue, exclusive of land sales and premia on leases or statutory land grants.\n\nOrdinance 5 is perhaps the most important measure of the year. It is an Ordinance \"to establish a Code of Procedure for the Regulation of the Process, Practice, and Mode of Pleading in the Civil Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the Colony.\" The Supreme Court was established by legislative enactment in 1845, and all its proceedings were regulated by the practice of the English Courts \"unless and until otherwise ordered by rule of the said Court.\" Successive attempts at improving the Civil Procedure of the Court were made in 1855, 1856, 1858, 1860, and 1861, and led to the enactment of what is known as the Old Code of Civil Procedure, in 1873, which abolished the old distinction between common law and equity, and established a uniform procedure for the administration of both. Alterations were from time to time carried out during many subsequent years, and the new Code, which was drafted last year by Sir JOHN CARRINGTON, C.M.G., and enacted as Ordinance No. 5 of 1901, contains the final results, up to the present time, of all the changes and improvements which experience had found necessary.\n\nOrdinance No. 13 of 1901—a Consolidating and Amending Public Health Ordinance—was an important measure which will probably, however, be partially superseded by new legislation during 1902.\n\n## IV.-EDUCATION\n\nThe system and methods of education in the Colony are fully described in the Report for 1899, since which time there have been few changes. The whole system of education is at present under consideration and may shortly undergo considerable modifications as the outcome of the deliberations of a special Committee appointed towards the close of the year. A description of any changes which may take place should find a place in the next Report.\n\nThe principal school in the Colony is Queen's College, an institution which forms a distinct Government Department. The total number of pupils on the roll (European, Chinese, and other Asiatics) is nearly 1,500. The average annual expenses of each boy are less than $18, and the total fees received by Government amount to over $28,000. There is a large staff of English and Chinese masters, who provide the pupils with an education which not only enables many of them to compete successfully in the Oxford local examinations but also fits them for important posts as interpreters and clerks in the Government service and in mercantile houses.\n\nThere is a growing feeling amongst both British and Chinese residents that the system of educating European and native children side by side in the same schools is not without its serious drawbacks. The subject has been fully dealt with in a Petition forwarded to you in September last, and the outcome will probably be the establishment of one or more good schools for European boys and girls and similar schools for the children of the better class Chinese.\n\n## V.-PUBLIC WORKS\n\nThe total expenditure on Public Works during the year was $687,325.70. The principal work initiated was a greatly enlarged scheme for the construction of Waterworks to supply the Kowloon Peninsula with water by gravitation, the estimated cost of the work being $835,000. The reservoir to be constructed is situated in the New Territory, in connection with the development of which several works were in progress, principal among them being the road to Taipo, 16 miles in length.\n\nWork was begun on an additional reservoir at Tytam for increasing the supply of water to the City of Victoria.\n\nA number of buildings were in progress, including the New Law Courts, Harbour Office, Western Market, and Governor's Peak Residence.\n\nA large Reclamation Scheme in front of the eastern section of the City, estimated to cost $5,000,000, was under consideration, and arrangements for the construction of an electric tramway, 9 miles in length, were nearly brought to a conclusion.\n\n## VI.--GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS\n\n### (a)-HOSPITALS\n\nGovernment Hospitals consist of the Civil Hospital, to which is attached an isolated Lying-in Hospital; Kennedy Town Infectious Diseases Hospital, and the Hospital hulk Hygeia.\n\n| Hospital | Number of Beds |\n| --------------- | -------------- |\n| Civil Hospital | 124 |\n| Lying-in Hospital | 6 (Europeans), 4 (Asiatics) |\n| Kennedy Town Hospital | 78 |\n\nIn 1901, 267 cases were treated at Kennedy Town, of which 204 were cases of plague, 42 of small-pox, and 15 of cholera.\n\nTwo thousand nine hundred and forty-eight (2,948) in-patients and 12,663 out-patients were treated at the Government Civil Hospital in 1901, showing a slight decrease in the figures for 1900. Malarial fever alone was responsible for over 800 admissions.\n\nThe Tung Wa Hospital, supported by voluntary subscriptions among the Chinese and only to a small extent endowed by the Government, takes the place of a Poor House and Hospital for the Chinese sick and destitute. Chinese as well as European methods of treatment are employed in accordance with the wishes expressed by the patients or those who are responsible for them.\n\n### (b)-ASYLUM\n\nThe Lunatic Asylum is under the direction of the Principal Civil Medical Officer. European and Chinese patients are separated, the European portion of the Asylum containing 8 beds in 8 separate wards, and the Chinese portion containing 16 beds. Ninety patients of all races were treated during 1901, and there were 7 deaths.\n\n### (c)-THE CHINESE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE\n\nThis institution was founded in 1887, largely through the efforts of Dr. PATRICK MANSON, Dr. CANTLIE, and others, for the purpose of teaching surgery, medicine, and midwifery to Chinese. The Government of the College is vested in the Court, of which the Rector of the College, who has always been a Government Official, is President. 57 students had been enrolled up to 1901, and of these, 12 have become qualified licentiates, who have obtained various posts under Government and elsewhere. The institution is of great value in spreading a knowledge of Western medical science amongst the Chinese.\n\nPage 330", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-312 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 388923, "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": "CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6]", "page_number": 430, "title": "CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6]", "content_text": "# Enclosure 1\n\n| Area | Locality | Gremium | Total foot | Square feet | Acres | Value per acre | Total capital value | Total value at 25 years' purchase | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1.

In 1902, 206 cases were treated at Kennedy Town, of which 94 were cases of plague, 10 of small-pox and 52 of cholera.\n\n3,108 in-patients and 11,815 out-patients were treated at the Government Civil Hospital in 1902. There was a decided decrease in the number of admissions from malarial fever, the figures being 349 as compared with 787 in 1901.\n\nThe Tung Wa Hospital is mainly supported by voluntary subscriptions, and only receives a small contribution from the Government.

The Po Leung Kuk is an institution presided over by the Registrar-General and an annually elected Committee of twelve Chinese gentlemen, for the protection of women and children. They receive daily instruction in elementary subjects and sometimes earn pocket-money by doing needle-work. During 1902 a total of 617 persons were admitted, made up of 494 women, 93 young girls, and 30 small boys. Of these, 201 were restored to their parents or sent to charitable institutions in China, 27 were sent to missionary schools and convents, 19 were married, 10 adopted, and 310 allowed to leave. The Home is medically attended by one of the Colonial Surgeons.\n\nThe Hongkong College of Medicine for Chinese was founded in 1887, for the purpose of teaching surgery, medicine and midwifery, especially to Chinese. The Government of the College is vested in the Court, of which the Rector of the College, who has always been a Government official, is President. 76 students have been enrolled up to 1903, and of these 18 have become qualified licentiates and have obtained various posts under Government and elsewhere. The institution is of great value in spreading a knowledge of Western medical science amongst the Chinese; and in addition to the employment of certain of the licentiates in the public service, the senior students have frequently been made use of for various purposes during epidemic seasons. A Government grant-in-aid of $2,500 is made to the College, to be used as honoraria to the lecturers.\n\n# VIII-CRIMINAL AND POLICE\n\n## STATISTICS\n\nThe number of convictions in the Superior Courts during the last five years is as follows:\n\n| Year | Offences against the Person | Offences against Property | Other Offences | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1898 | 9 | 17 | 12 | 38 |\n| 1899 | 19 | 18 | 21 | 58 |\n| 1900 | 49 | 7 | 12 | 68 |\n| 1901 | 54 | 7 | ... | 61 |\n| 1902 | 54 | ... | ... | 54 |\n\nThe total of all cases reported to the Police was 10,421, as against 9,172 in 1901. This shows an increase of 13.61 per cent. In the division of these cases into serious and minor offences there appears an increase, as compared with 1901, of 594 cases or 17.45 per cent. in the former, and of 655 cases or 11.35 per cent. in the latter.\n\nThe serious offences in which the increase was most noticeable were burglary and larceny.\n\nThe increase in crime in the Colony is no doubt largely due to the restlessness of the neighbouring districts in China, and the influx of Chinese paupers who were the victims of bad harvests and spasmodic rebellions in the two adjoining provinces.\n\nThe Police Force is composed of 133 Europeans, 367 Indians and 419 Chinese, and has thus increased, largely owing to the necessities of the New Territory, by nearly 300 members during the past five years. The executive staff consists of a Captain Superintendent, a Deputy and two Assistant Superintendents.\n\nThe daily average of prisoners confined in the gaol during 1902 was 576. The average may be said to have been raised by about 25 per cent. during the past ten years.\n\nConstant attention is given to the instruction of long-sentence prisoners (first offenders) of good conduct, who are employed at industrial labour, viz.: Boot and Shoe-making, Tailoring, Mat-making, Carpentry, Tinsmithing, Net-making, Mattress-making, Rattan work, Knitting, Printing and Book-binding, the knowledge of which is useful and educational, rendering many of them much better adapted to earn an honest livelihood after their discharge from prison.\n\nThe total number of forms printed at the Gaol during the year 1902 was 3,050,828, and 11,949 books were bound. The value of work done by the Printing and Book-binding Department was $29,039.13. Deducting the cost of paper, leather, etc., used during the year, from the net earnings, the total profits on all industrial labour amounted to $29,439.91 for year 1902.\n\nThe Chinese inhabitants contribute by a voluntary assessment among themselves to the pay of District Watchmen, a native force which is of material assistance to the regular Police. During the year 1902 over $17,000 was contributed for this purpose.\n\n# IX-VITAL STATISTICS\n\n## (a).-POPULATION\n\nThe last Census was taken in January, 1901, when the population was found to be 283,975, exclusive of the Army and Navy. The estimated population at the beginning of the year under review (the naval and military forces being similarly excluded from the estimate) was 311,824, including 18,524 non-Chinese. Exclusive of the New Territory, the population of which is probably slightly under 110,000. The total population of the Colony may therefore be estimated in round figures at 421,000 of all nationalities. The total number of births registered in the Colony was 1,200 and of deaths 6,788. This gives an annual birth-rate of 3.8 and a death-rate of 21.7 per 1,000. The excess of deaths over births is explained by the fact that thousands of Chinese families are represented in Hongkong by men only, and that a large proportion of the population of the Colony is a floating population of adult males.\n\nIt should also be remembered that a large proportion of births among the Chinese remains unregistered. The preponderance of male over female births is very marked among the Chinese community, being in the proportion of 190 males to every 100 females. The proportion among the non-Chinese community was 111 to 100 as compared with 107 to 100 in 1901.\n\n## (b)-PUBLIC HEALTH AND SANITATION\n\nThe Colony was again visited by Plague in the Spring and Summer of 1902, though the outbreak was much less severe than in several former years. 546 Chinese are known to have died of this disease in the Colony, and 26 members of the British and Foreign community, which includes Asiatic Portuguese. 57 cases ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 390320, "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": "CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11]", "page_number": 595, "title": "CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11]", "content_text": "## Seniority Roll of the European Police\n\n| Name | Date joined | Where recruited | From what corps |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| JW Hanson | 31.10.74 | Hong Kong | Leaman, Usa |\n| J.

The foundations of the main dam for the Kowloon Waterworks, which is to be 90 feet in height above the level of the ground, were ready to receive concrete; a large covered service reservoir to contain two million gallons was well advanced; and the preparation of a site for the filter-beds and the cutting of a tunnel for the main from the reservoir were in progress. In consequence of the inadequacy of the water supply to meet the growing demands of the City of Victoria and pending the construction of permanent works in the Tytam Tuk Valley for augmenting the supply, a temporary pumping engine capable of raising half a million gallons daily was erected there and the necessary main laid to the Tytam tunnel. A small dam to impound the ordinary flow of the stream during dry weather was also constructed. Trial works were in progress throughout the year in Tytam Tuk Inlet for the purpose of determining a suitable site for the construction of a dam to impound over 1,000 million gallons, but had not been concluded at the end of the year. The reconstruction of the street gullies throughout the City was undertaken principally on sanitary grounds, one object being to confine sewage to the sewers and exclude it from the storm-water drains. In consequence of the large exports of cattle from Hongkong to the Philippines considerable extensions of the depôts had to be undertaken. The accommodation provided is being increased from 480 to 1,241 head of cattle. Some extensive operations in the way of training the mountain streams were carried out, largely with a view to ridding residential areas of the anopheles mosquito.\n\nThe total amount expended on Public Works Extraordinary, exclusive of the Praya Reclamation was $629,831, and on works annually recurrent $529,551.\n\n# VI. GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS\n\n(a) HOSPITALS.\n\nGovernment Hospitals consist of the Civil Hospital, to which is attached an isolated Maternity Hospital, the Victoria Hospital for Women and Children, Kennedy Town Infectious Diseases Hospital, and the hulk Hygeia which is also used for the treatment of infectious diseases.\n\nThe Civil Hospital contains 150 beds in 20 wards. 2,794 in-patients and 11,911 out-patients were treated during the year 1903. 346 cases of malarial fever were admitted as against 349 in 1902 and 787 in 1901. The Maternity Hospital contains 6 beds for Europeans and 4 for Asiatics. 62 confinements occurred during the year, without death.\n\nThe Victoria Hospital was opened towards the end of the year by Sir HENRY BLAKE. It is situated on the higher levels and is therefore better adapted for the treatment of children than the Civil Hospital. It contains 41 beds. Kennedy Town Hospital contains 26 beds in the main building. In 1903, 400 cases were treated, of which 301 were cases of Plague, 61 of Small-pox, and 2 of Cholera.\n\n(b) LUNATIC ASYLUM.\n\nThe Asylum is under the direction of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital. European and Chinese patients are separated, the European portion containing 8 beds in separate wards and the Chinese portion 16 beds. 155 patients of all races were treated during 1903, and there were 12 deaths.\n\n(c) THE TUNG WA HOSPITAL.\n\nThis hospital is mainly supported by the voluntary subscriptions of Chinese, but receives an annual grant of $6,000 from the Government. A new wing was opened by Sir HENRY BLAKE in 1903. Only Chinese are treated in this institution, which takes the place of a poor-house and hospital for Chinese sick and destitute. Chinese as well as European methods of treatment are employed in accordance with the wishes expressed by the patients or their friends. The hospital is managed by a Committee of Chinese gentlemen annually elected, their appointment being submitted to the Governor for confirmation.\n\nOTHER GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS.\n\nThe Prison, Observatory, Post Office, Educational Establishments and other Government institutions are dealt with under separate heads.\n\n# VII. INSTITUTIONS NOT SUPPORTED BY GOVERNMENT.\n\nAmong institutions recognized and encouraged but not to any considerable extent supported by Government may be mentioned the Po Leung Kuk, the College of Medicine for Chinese, and the City Hall. The Po Leung Kuk is an institution presided over by the Registrar General and an annually-elected Committee of twelve Chinese gentlemen, for the protection of women and children. The inmates of the Home receive daily instruction in elementary subjects and are allowed to earn pocket-money by needle-work. During 1903 a total of 826 persons were admitted, of whom 632 were women, 134 young girls, and 60 small boys. Of these, 360 were restored to their parents or sent to charitable institutions in China, 24 were sent to missionary schools and convents, 22 were married, 15 adopted, and 409 allowed to leave. The Home is medically attended by one of the Colonial Surgeons.\n\nThe Hongkong College of Medicine for Chinese was founded in 1887, for the purpose of teaching surgery, medicine and obstetrics to Chinese. The government of the College is vested in the Court, of which the Rector of the College, who has always been a Government official, is President. 78 students have been enrolled up to the end of 1903, and of these 19 have become qualified licentiates and have obtained various posts under Government and elsewhere. The institution is of great value in spreading a knowledge of Western medical science among the Chinese; and in addition to the employment of certain of the licentiates in the public service the senior students have frequently been made use of for various purposes during epidemics. A Government grant-in-aid of $2,500 is made to the College, to be used as honoraria to the lecturers.\n\nThe City Hall receives an annual grant of $1,200 from Government. It contains a reference library and a museum.\n\n# VIII. CRIMINAL AND POLICE.\n\nThe total of all cases reported to the Police was 11,251, as against 10,421 in 1902, being an increase of 830 or 7.86 per cent. In the division of these cases into Serious and Minor Offences there appears an increase, as compared with 1902, of 863 cases or 21.58 per cent. in the former, and a decrease of 33 cases or 0.51 per cent. in the latter. The increase in crime was principally in respect of larceny.\n\nThe Police Force is composed of a Captain Superintendent, a Deputy and 2 Assistant Superintendents, and three contingents of Europeans, Indians and Chinese. The European contingent consists of 133 men, the Chinese of 421, and the Indian of 267, making a grand total of 821 besides the superior officers already named and a staff of clerks and coolies. Of this Force, one Assistant Superintendent (who also acts as Police Magistrate) and 14 Europeans, 96 Indians and 43 Chinese were stationed in the New Territory during the greater part of the year. After September the number of Indians was reduced to 80.\n\nThe number of prisoners admitted to Victoria Gaol under the sentences of the ordinary Courts was 7,144, besides 74 soldiers and sailors sentenced by Courts Martial. The daily average number of prisoners confined in the Gaol was 653, the largest number on record. In 1902 the number was 576, and in 1901 it was 499. As a means of relieving the congested state of the Gaol pending the erection of a Convict Prison the Beilios Reformatory was fitted up as a temporary prison, and short-sentence prisoners are now located in that building. The remunerative labour carried on in the Gaol consists of printing and book-binding, carpentry, boot-making, knitting, painting and whitewashing, mat-making, oakum-picking, &c. The value of the earnings during the year amounted to $31,489.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-322 - Acting Governor May - 1904 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395855, "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": "CO129-327 - Individuals - 1904", "page_number": 399, "title": "CO129-327 - Individuals - 1904", "content_text": "## The Determination of Employment\n\nThe Determination of employment is not equivalent to dismissal but much more serious.\n\n2) Despite the fact that he is but no longer in his temporary position, his services were terminated, of which one was later withdrawn with sufficient notice.\n\nIn the awkward position with regard to his judgment, he decided to breed to better his lot.

Good progress was made with the scheme of 100-foot thoroughfares in Kowloon, the road through the King's Park being completed and portions of several lots resumed for the extension of Robinson Road northwards. About $40,000 was spent on Nallah Training in the Colony and $20,000 on the re-construction of street gullies to improve the City drainage system. A beginning was made towards improving the lighting of the Harbour approaches by arranging for the transfer of the 1st order light at Cape D'Aguilar to a new Tower on Green Island. Reclamation was undertaken at Tai-kok-tsui, in conjunction with a private owner, by which that locality will be much improved.

The Gunpowder Depôt, Extension to Staff Quarters Government Civil Hospital, Taipo Quarters, Bacteriological Institute and Volunteer Headquarters were completed. A Branch Post Office in Kowloon and another in Shanghai were completed and a Public Mortuary near Yamati and Time Ball Tower on Blackhead's Hill, Kowloon, were begun. The works of reconstruction of gullies and extension of nullah training were continued, $10,000 being spent on the former and over $16,000 on the latter. A large tank for flushing a portion of the Sewerage System of the City was constructed in Blake Garden, a rifle range for the use of the Volunteer Reserve Association was laid out at the Peak and the extensions of the Waterworks at Lai Chi Kok for the supply of the Shipping were completed.\n\nThe Mee Lun Lane Improvement Scheme was undertaken and was well advanced at the close of the year. The system of 100-foot roads in Kowloon was extended; Salisbury Road was opened as far as Robinson Road in connection with the new Star Ferry landing place; a mass of rock was removed to enable Des Voeux Road to be extended past Messrs. Blackhead's lots and a commencement was made with the removal of the hill North of Yaumati Theatre, the material being used for private reclamation work North of the Naval Coaling Depôt. Some property in Hunghom Village was resumed to admit of further extension of the system. Important extensions of Conduit Road in Easterly and Westerly directions and of the road past Kowloon City were undertaken, substantial progress being made with both works. The latter road is being further extended to join the military roads which have been constructed in this neighbourhood.\n\nThe extension and reconstruction of the Albany Filter Beds was continued, fair progress being made with the work.\n\nThe work on the Rider Main System was completed in all the districts to which it is intended to apply it.\n\nThe total amount expended on Public Works Extraordinary, exclusive of Rider Mains and other Advance Accounts, was $1,403,868.66 and on works annually recurrent, $393,751.40.\n\n## Government Institutions\n\n### (a) Hospitals\n\nGovernment Hospitals consist of the Civil Hospital to which is attached an isolated Maternity Hospital, the Victoria Hospital for Women and Children, the Kennedy Town Infectious Diseases Hospital, and the hulk \"Hygeia\" used mainly for the treatment of Small-pox.\n\nThe Civil Hospital contains 150 beds in 19 wards. 2,745 in-patients and 16,768 out-patients were treated during the year 1906. 239 cases of Malarial Fever were admitted as against 267 in 1905 and 223 in 1904. The Maternity Hospital contains 6 beds for Europeans and 4 for Asiatics. 64 confinements occurred during the year. The Victoria Hospital, at the Peak contains 41 beds. During 1906, 278 patients were under treatment. Kennedy Town Hospital contains 26 beds. In 1906, 78 cases were treated, of which 49 were Plague. On the \"Hygeia\" 73 cases were treated, of which 66 were Small-pox.\n\n### (b) Lunatic Asylum\n\nThe Asylum is under the direction of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital. European and Chinese patients are separate, the European portion containing 8 beds in separate wards and the Chinese portion 16 beds. 184 patients of all races were treated during 1906, and there were 9 deaths.\n\n### (c) The Tung Wan Hospital\n\nThis Hospital, opened in 1872, is mainly supported by the voluntary subscriptions of Chinese, but receives an annual grant of $6,000 from the Government. Only Chinese are treated in this institution which takes the place of a poor-house and hospital for Chinese sick and destitute, and is administered by an annually-elected body of 15 Chinese directors. Chinese as well as European methods of treatment are employed in accordance with the wishes expressed by the patients or their friends. The Hospital is managed by a Committee of Chinese gentlemen annually elected, their appointment being submitted to the Governor for confirmation.\n\n## Institutions Not Supported by Government\n\nAmong institutions recognised and encouraged but not to any considerable extent supported by Government may be mentioned the Po Leung Kuk, the College of Medicine for Chinese, and the City Hall.\n\nThe Po Leung Kuk is an institution, incorporated in 1893, presided over by the Registrar General and an annually-elected Committee of 12 Chinese gentlemen, for the protection of women and children. The inmates of the Home receive daily instruction in elementary subjects and are allowed to earn pocket-money by needlework. During 1906, a total of 349 persons were admitted. Of these, 82 were released after enquiry, 8 were released under bond, 106 were placed in charge of their husbands, parents or relations, 3 were placed in charge of the Japanese Consul, 26 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 24 were sent to School, Convent or Refuge, 6 were adopted, 53 were married and 1 died.\n\nThe Hongkong College of Medicine was founded in 1887. The government of the College is vested in the Court, of which the Rector of the College, who has always been a Government official, is President. Ninety-six students have been enrolled up to the end of 1906, and of these 29 have become qualified licentiates and have obtained various posts under Government and elsewhere. The institution is of great value in spreading a knowledge of Western medical science among the Chinese; and in addition to the employment of certain of the licentiates in the public service, the senior students have frequently been made use of for various purposes during epidemics. A Government grant-in-aid of $2,500 is made to the College, to be used as honoraria to the lecturers.\n\nThe City Hall receives an annual grant of $1,200 from Government. Reference Library and Museum.\n\n## Criminal and Police\n\nThe total of all cases reported to the Police was 11,144 being a decrease of 373 or 3.23 per cent, as compared with 1905. In the division of these cases into serious and minor offences there is an increase in the former as compared with the previous year from 2,981 to 3,333, that is of 11.69 per cent., occurring mainly in unlawful possession.\n\nThe number of serious offences reported was 408 below the average of the quinquennial period commencing with the year 1902.\n\nThe number of minor offences reported shows a decrease of 722 as compared with 1905.\n\nThe number of minor offences reported was 324 below the average of the quinquennial period.\n\nThe total number of persons committed to Victoria Gaol was 5,799, as compared with 6,227 in 1905, but of these only 2,575 were committed for criminal offences, against 2,816 in 1905. Of committals for non-criminal offences there were 199 less under the Prepared Opium Ordinance and 25 more for infringement of Sanitary Bye-laws.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 413863, "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": "CO129-347 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [4-6]", "page_number": 365, "title": "CO129-347 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [4-6]", "content_text": "# \n362 \n\nMembers of Council and of the most influential members of the Chinese Community.

It is necessary here to correct and amplify the statements concerning Mr. Ho Tung and his wife made in the Chief Justice's Memorandum. I am informed that Mr. Ho Tung is the reputed, illegitimate son of a Mr. Bosman (not Bowden) by a Chinese woman. That he was formerly Compradore to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Company and has at present two brothers in the employ of that firm, concerning whose parentage (although illegitimate) there is no such doubt: that the woman Mr. Ho Tung first took to wife is not a Portuguese lady. She is the illegitimate daughter of the late Mr. Hector Maclean, formerly a salesman in Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Company by a Chinese woman. She bore Mr. Ho Tung no children. \n\nIn accordance with Chinese custom Mr. Ho Tung therefore took a secondary wife - a pure Chinese - by whom he had children.

Another section of Robinson Road, Kowloon, extending from Market Street to Waterloo Road was undertaken and the removal of the hill North of Yaumati Theatre was continued, the material being used for private reclamation work North of the Naval Coaling Depôt. The extensions of Conduit Road in Easterly and Westerly directions and of the road past Kowloon City mentioned last year were completed, and a further section of the latter road extending to its junction with the Chin Lau Chu Road was undertaken. A new path, connecting Barker Road with May Road, as the extension of Conduit Road in an Easterly direction has been designated, was completed. \n\nThe extension and reconstruction of the Albany Filter Beds was continued, fair progress being made with the work. \n\nThe total amount expended on Public Works Extraordinary, exclusive of Advance Accounts and Deposits not Available, was $784,320 and on Works Annually Recurrent, $538,041. By the transfer of the item \"Typhoon and Rainstorm Damage\" from the former head to the latter, the first-mentioned sum has been diminished by $106,659 whilst that last-mentioned has been correspondingly increased. \n\nGood progress was made on the British Section of the Hongkong-Canton Railway the cost of which is being defrayed by a Loan. \n\nDuring the year 1907 the re-alignment consequent on the detailed survey by the Construction Engineers was completed and work commenced over the whole length. The reclamation for a site for Kowloon Station Yard was started in June. The actual heading driving in Beacon Hill Tunnel may be said to have started on January 1st, 1907. During the year two thousand one hundred feet of heading was driven from both ends and from the shafts sunk at both the North and South sides and four hundred and sixty-five feet of tunnel fully lined. About two-thirds of the compressor plant was in working order, the headings not being far enough advanced to necessitate special ventilating plant. There was difficulty experienced at first in obtaining sufficient labour for work underground but towards the end of the year on the rates being raised slightly a large number of skilled mining coolies returned from South Africa flocked to the work. \n\nBridge building progressed steadily all through the year as well as Earthwork and the minor tunnels, there being no very great difficulties to contend with except in one of the latter. A temporary metre gauge line was laid from the sea front at Lokloha to the North face, the shaft (278') was completed and a considerable number of houses for Staff erected. The systematic issue of quinine to all rail employés resulted in a diminution of malarial fever. \n\nThe expenditure on the work during the year amounted to $2,314,915. \n\n## VI-GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS\n\n### (a) HOSPITALS\n\nGovernment Hospitals consist of the Civil Hospital to which is attached an isolated Maternity Hospital, the Victoria Hospital for Women and Children, the Kennedy Town Infectious Diseases Hospital, and the hulk \"Hygeia\" used mainly for the treatment of Small-pox. \n\nThe Civil Hospital contains 150 beds in 19 wards. 2,711 in-patients and 17,302 out-patients were treated during the year 1907. \n\n243 cases of Malarial Fever were admitted as against 239 in 1906 and 267 in 1905. The Maternity Hospital contains 6 beds for Europeans and 4 for Asiatics. 87 confinements occurred during the year. The Victoria Hospital at the Peak contains 41 beds. During 1907, 211 patients were under treatment. Kennedy Town Hospital contains 26 beds. In 1907, 63 cases were treated, of which 16 were Plague. On the \"Hygeia\" 167 cases were treated, of which 96 were Small-pox. \n\n### (b) LUNATIC ASYLUM\n\nThe Asylum is under the direction of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital. European and Chinese patients are separate, the European portion containing 8 beds in separate wards and the Chinese portion 16 beds. 222 patients of all races were treated during 1907, and there were 13 deaths. \n\n### (c) THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL\n\nThis Hospital, opened in 1872, is mainly supported by the voluntary subscriptions of Chinese, but receives an annual grant of $8,000 from the Government. Only Chinese are treated in this institution which takes the place of a poor-house, and hospital for Chinese sick and destitute. Various other services not appertaining to a Hospital are performed by the Institution such as the free burial of the poor, the repatriation of destitutes, and the organisation of charitable relief in emergencies. Chinese as well as European methods of treatment are employed in accordance with the wishes expressed by the patients or their friends. About half the number are now treated by Western methods and the number is steadily increasing. The Hospital is managed by a Committee of Chinese gentlemen annually elected, their appointment being submitted to the Governor for confirmation; is under the direct charge of a Chinese Resident Surgeon, paid by the Government; and is under the supervision of a Visiting Physician who is a member of the Medical Department. \n\n## VII--INSTITUTIONS NOT SUPPORTED BY GOVERNMENT\n\nAmong institutions recognised and encouraged but not to any considerable extent supported by Government may be mentioned the Pó Leung Kuk, the College of Medicine for Chinese, and the City Hall. \n\nThe Pó Leung Kuk is an institution, incorporated in 1893, presided over by the Registrar General and an annually-elected Committee of 12 Chinese gentlemen, for the protection of women and children. The inmates of the Home receive daily instruction in elementary subjects and are allowed to earn pocket-money by needlework. During 1907, a total of 345 persons were admitted. Of these, 85 were released after enquiry, 5 were released under bond, 131 were placed in charge of their husbands, parents or relations, 1 was placed in charge of the Japanese Consul, 1 in charge of the French Consul, 22 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 16 were sent to School, Convent or Refuge, 12 were adopted and 38 were married. Thirty-four persons remained in charge of the Society at the end of the year. \n\nThe Hongkong College of Medicine was founded in 1887. The government of the College is vested in the Court, of which the Rector of the College, who has always been a Government official, is President. 102 students have been enrolled up to the end of 1907, and of these 33 have become qualified licentiates and have obtained various posts under Government and elsewhere. The institution is of great value in spreading a knowledge of Western medical science among the Chinese; and in addition to the employment of certain of the licentiates in the public service, and in the Chinese Dispensaries the senior students have frequently been made use of for various purposes during epidemics. A Government grant-in-aid of $2,500 is made to the College, to be used as honoraria to the lecturers, who are either Government officials or Medical practitioners in local practice. Steps are at present being taken for the provision of adequate buildings for the purposes of the College, which has hitherto carried on its work in various lecture-rooms and laboratories placed at its disposal by hospitals and other institutions in different parts of the City. \n\nThe City Hall receives an annual grant of $1,200 from Government. It contains a Reference and Circulating Library and Museum. \n\n## VIII--CRIMINAL AND POLICE\n\nThe total of all cases reported to the Police was 11,510 being an increase of 396 or 3.55 per cent. as compared with 1906. In the division of these cases into serious and minor offences there is a decrease in the former as compared with the previous year of 27 cases or .81 per cent. \n\nThe number of serious offences reported was 207 below the average of the quinquennial period commencing with the year 1903.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-347 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 418452, "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": "CO129-355 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [1-3]", "page_number": 30, "title": "CO129-355 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [1-3]", "content_text": "29\n\ncourse fully qualified Practitioners. The College recently received a bequest from a wealthy Chinese gentleman, and another offered to erect a building for the College if Government would grant a site. Hitherto there had been none. My predecessor recommended and Mr. Lyttelton in his Despatch No.131 of 23rd June, 1905, approved the reservation of two sites for this purpose, and the Court of the College had already approved the plans and were about to commence work. It appeared to me essential that if the University project took shape the College of Medicine should be amalgamated with it, and I personally conferred with the Rector and Court on the subject. They were more than ready to accept my proposals provided only that there was an assurance that the scheme would not prove abortive, and the delay in proceeding with their own plans thus proved an unnecessary sacrifice of time. They agreed to defer their building operations for a time, and I promised that if the larger project should come to fruition, the Chair of Medicine should have priority over any other, and the existing students should be admitted as undergraduates. The Court also desired to reserve the sum of $60,000 which had been promised for the building fund, and to devote it to the building of an Anatomical Laboratory on the\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-355 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419926, "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": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "page_number": 472, "title": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "content_text": "465\n\n10\n\nVII.-INSTITUTIONS NOT SUPPORTED BY GOVERNMENT. Among institutions recognised and encouraged but not to any considerable extent supported by Government may be mentioned the Pó Leung Kuk, the Hongkong College of Medicine, and the City Hall.\n\nThe Pó Leung Kuk is an institution, incorporated in 1893, presided over by the Registrar General and an annually-elected Committee of 12 Chinese gentlemen, for the protection of women and children. The inmates of the Home receive daily instruction in elementary subjects and are allowed to earn pocket-money by needlework. During 1908, a total of 403 persons were admitted. Of these, 86 were released after enquiry, 22 were released under bond, 150 were placed in charge of their husbands, parents, or relations, 14 were placed in charge of the French Consul, 20 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 22 were sent to School, Convent or Refuge, 6 were adopted and 28 were married. One died during the year, one absconded, and fifty-three remained in charge of the Society at the end of the year.\n\nAn institution named the Eyre Refuge under Mission auspices, for the same general purposes, was re-organised during the year under a strong Committee, and Government contributes a small grant. It is hoped that this institution will work in conjunction with the Po Leung Kuk.\n\nThe Hongkong College of Medicine was founded in 1887. The government of the College is vested in the Court, of which the Rector of the College, who has always been a Government official, is President. The Lecturers, who are Government officials or private medical practitioners, each receive a small honorarium, the funds being derived from the fees of the students and a Government grant-in-aid of $2,500. The minimum curriculum of study is five years, and a preliminary examination in general accord with the regulations of the General Medical Council of Great Britain is required. 111 students have been enrolled up to date (May, 1909); and of these 37 have become qualified \"licentiates\". Most of the licentiates have settled in the Colony, and are exerting a most useful influence in the direction of displacing the native medical methods and popularising Western medical and sanitary knowledge, while a considerable number of them are employed as resident surgeons in the hospitals for Chinese, as medical officers in charge of the Public Dispensaries, and as assistant medical officers on the railway works. The work of the College has thus far been carried on in lecture-rooms and laboratories made available in various hospitals, &c., in different parts of the City. Steps were being taken to provide adequate buildings of its own; but action was suspended when the University Scheme was proposed. (See page 11.) If a University is established, the College will be merged into its Faculty of Medicine.\n\nThe City Hall receives an annual grant of $1,200 from Government. It contains a Theatre, some large rooms which are used for balls, meetings, concerts, &c., a Museum in which are some very fair specimens, and a large Reference and Lending Library, to which new volumes are added from time to time, as funds will allow. The Building was erected in 1866-9 by subscription.\n\nSmall grants are also given to the Italian Convent ($1,280), the French Convent (both of which take in and tend abandoned or sick infants), the West Point Orphanage, the Seaman's Hospital, and other charitable institutions.\n\nVIII.-CRIMINAL AND POLICE.\n\nThe total of all cases reported to the Police was 9,562 being a decrease of 1,978 or 17.14 per cent. as compared with 1907. In the division of these cases into serious and minor offences there is a decrease in the former as compared with the previous year of 64 cases or 1.93 per cent.\n\nThe number of serious offences reported was 37 below the average of the quinquennial period commencing with the year 1904. The number of minor offences reported shows a decrease of 1,914 as compared with 1907, and was 1,515 below the average of the quinquennial period.\n\nThe total number of persons committed to Victoria Gaol was 4,778 as compared with 5,877 in 1907, but of these only 1,975 were committed for criminal offences, against 2,460 in 1907. Of committals for non-criminal offences there were 394 less under the Prepared Opium Ordinance and 139 less for infringement of Sanitary Bye-laws.\n\nThe daily average of prisoners confined in the Gaol was 465, the average for 1907 being 502 and the highest previous average being 720 in 1904. The percentage of prisoners to population, according to the daily average of the former and the estimated number of the latter was .14 as compared with .14, the average percentage for the last ten years.\n\n11\n\nOwing however to the large floating population which is constantly moving between the Colony and Canton the percentage of crime to population does not convey an accurate idea of the comparative criminality of the residents of the Colony. A large number of the riff-raff and thieves of South China found their way to Hongkong, and during the year 895 aliens were banished as undesirables—for the most part after conviction for crime.\n\nThe prison discipline was satisfactory, the average of punishments per prisoner being 1.27 as compared with 1.50 in 1907 and 1.2 in 1906.\n\nThe prison is managed on the English prison system as regards first offenders (star class prisoners) who are when at labour and when located for the night kept apart from old offenders.\n\nLong sentence prisoners serving two years and upwards are taught useful trades, including printing, book-binding, washing, carpentry, boot-making, net-making, painting and white-washing, mat-making, tailoring, oakum-picking, &c. The profit on the work done was $45,420 as against $37,434 in 1907.\n\nThere was $5,012 received and credited to Government for non-Government work against $5,790 in 1907.\n\nIn consequence of the low number of prisoners in custody at the beginning of the year it was found possible to close the Branch Prison.\n\nThe prison was considerably damaged in the typhoon of the 27th July. The work of repairing was immediately taken in hand by the Public Works Department and completed by the end of October.\n\nThe total strength of the Police Force for 1908 was Europeans 135, Indians 410, Chinese 501, making a total of 1,046 as compared with 1,048 in 1907 exclusive in each case of the five Superior Officers and staff of clerks and coolies. These figures include Police paid for by the Railway, Private Firms, and other Government Departments. Of this Force the District Officer, 15 Europeans, 112 Indians and 47 Chinese were stationed in the New Territories during the year.\n\nThe force of District Watchmen to which the Government contributes $2,000 per annum was well supported by the Chinese during the year. These watchmen patrol the streets in the Chinese quarter of the City. They are placed on Police beats and are supervised by the European Police on section patrol.\n\nIX.-VITAL STATISTICS.\n\n(a) POPULATION.\n\nThe population of the Colony according to the Census taken in 1901 was 283,975 while at the Census taken in 1906 it was 301,967 exclusive of the New Territories, New Kowloon and the Army and Navy Establishments. The estimated population at the middle of the year under review was 421,499 as follows:-\n\nNon-Chinese Civil Community, 13,200\n\nHongkong, 194,460\n\nChinese Population, Kowloon, 74,350\n\nFloating Population, Mercantile Marine, 41,940 2,700\n\n316,450\n\nArmy, (average strength), 4,483\n\nNavy, (average strength), 2,355\n\n6,838\n\nNew Territories (exclusive of Kowloon), 85,011\n\nTotal 421,499\n\n(b) PUBLIC HEALTH AND SANITATION.\n\nDuring the year under review considerable progress has been made in rendering existing domestic buildings rat-proof as a preventive of Plague, 103 ground surfaces of houses have been repaired, and 811 buildings have had rat-runs filled up with cement. In addition 49 basements illegally inhabited have been vacated.\n\nNew buildings (domestic) to the number of 148 were erected during the year and in these the effect of the present Ordinance is seen in the increased amount of open space about the houses, which the law requires. Scavenging lanes which have to be provided in the rear of new houses also increase the open space about them and tend to reduce crowding.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 425012, "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": "CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5]", "page_number": 37, "title": "CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5]", "content_text": "## \n\nZalay the half due be hear Ju the person from the let March to the Bt after included both date for eard 118 1910 7 afric \n\nHÀNG LONG \n14140 \nC 0 \n35 \n14140 \n21 MAY 10! \n\nLalary Mar E.

To what extent these latter are represented by the mass of the people it is hard to say, but they at least deserve the credit of not openly advocating violent measures.\n\nAccording to the vernacular press and to common report, the \"carved melon story,\" if it ever circulated in this part of China at all, has not laid hold on the minds of the populace in the way it has done in Central China. Ever since the annexation by France of Upper Tonquin, it is true there has existed an apprehension with regard to further expansion in a northerly direction, but such apprehension is in nowise connected with recent happenings. It may be called chronic, and is mainly confined to those stationed or dwelling along the frontier in Kuanghsi and Yunnan. Of late, the negotiations regarding the delimitation of Portuguese territory at Macao led to the circulation of rumours that Portugal contemplated aggression on Chinese soil. These, however, were circulated by those desirous of rendering the negotiations abortive, and it is difficult to imagine that general importance has been attached thereto. Of anti-foreign agitation amongst the student class there is practically no trace. Local scholars would seem to have a respect for authority, and to be content to leave agitation to the various associations of which mention will be made later on.\n\nAs to railway loans and the construction of railways, there is similar lack of evidence of popular dissatisfaction with foreigners on their account. The Kuangtung section of the Yüeh-han Railway is being constructed with Chinese capital—rapidly approaching exhaustion,—and the squabbles between its shareholders and their directors, and the tracasseries to which the Chinese engineer-in-chief is subjected, only affect those directly concerned. The Canton-Kowloon Railway is being allowed to progress without any opposition beyond that offered by turbulent local rowdies, anxious to turn a dishonest penny out of land sales, or the advancement of personal interest. The Chinese newspapers, since 1900, cannot be said to preach hatred of the foreigner. They confine their efforts to asserting the sovereign claim of the people—i.e., themselves—to do what seems right in their own eyes, irrespective of treaty conditions or international obligations, vigorously and ably seconding in this respect the efforts of the self-government and other similar societies.\n\nThe clannish and self-centred spirit, which is characteristic of the Cantonese, may account for the fact that subscriptions towards paying off foreign loans and indemnities or towards providing funds for a national navy are not forthcoming, but towards their own particular railway lines and other provincial undertakings they have contributed freely. An intense interest is also displayed in any official proposals for raising internal taxation, and when it comes to discussing salt or gambling monopolies, the voice of the people makes itself loudly heard. (Indirect proof of an absence of hostility against a scheme purely because of its foreign origin might be found in the generous subscriptions made towards the University of Hong Kong.) These are not, however, matters which can be said to affect foreign relations. Of disloyalty amongst the foreign drilled troops one can ascertain but little. It was whispered that the recent outbreak on the occasion of the Chinese New Year had been fomented by revolutionaries, but of this there is no proof whatever. Nor can any credence be attached to stories prophesying an anti-dynastic rising in the near future.\n\nFrom the above, it will be evident that Mr. Little's appreciation of the general political situation, however accurate it may be in respect of Central or Northern China, tends to give a somewhat distorted view of the state of affairs actually obtaining in Southern China, or perhaps, to put it more correctly, in the provincial capital of the Liang Kuang, although there is no reason to suppose that the one differs from the other. Given, however, as is at present the case, a weak Governor-General, there is one phase of local politics which is becoming a grave menace to constituted authority, and one which, under conceivable circumstances, might very seriously imperil foreign relations. The reference is to the growing power of the Self-Government Society and its affiliated bodies, the Merchants' and Mercantile Steam-ship Associations, aided and abetted by the Newspaper Syndicate. These combinations arrogate to themselves the right to interfere in anything and everything, and, the appetite coming with eating, pusillanimous concession has placed them in the position of being able to hector and bully the officials. So long as purely domestic affairs are at stake one might regard matters from a disinterested standpoint, but it is in foreign affairs that they particularly claim the right of intervention, as witness the Tatsu Maru and Fatshan cases—two of the more important recent ones. Nothing is too trivial to escape their attention; their emissaries pounce on every communication to and from a foreign consulate, and immediately publish it with sarcastic or prejudicial comment, in some instances even before it reaches the addressee. The transaction of public business has accordingly become almost intolerable, and were a grave international question to arise, it is not difficult to foresee what complications might ensue or to what extent endeavours to arrive at a diplomatic settlement would be frustrated. Remonstrances addressed to the authorities are unavailing, as the people, in other words the societies, insist on knowing what is going on and on dictating the course of action to be pursued. To those conversant with history, parallels with the conduct of public affairs by the national assembly would readily occur, but of these governors and governed are ignorant. Fortunately, as has already been pointed out, this energy has, up to the present, been directed solely towards the maintenance of the principle that in matters between Cantonese and foreigners, the former have everything and the latter nothing to say. Should the foreigner be so ill-advised as to object, he is threatened with boycott and pecuniary loss; his life and personal property would not so far appear to be placed in jeopardy.\n\nJ. W. JAMIESON, Consul-General.\n\nCanton, April 20, 1910.\n\n(No. 36.) Sir,\n\nEnclosure 6 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Wilkinson to Mr. Max Müller.\n\nChengtu, May 23, 1910. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your despatch No. 3 of the 6th ultimo, enclosing copy of a memorandum on the political situation in China, drawn up by Mr. E. S. Little, and instructing me to report upon it.\n\nSince my arrival at Chengtu last December I have, in my despatches to the legation, dealt with most of the topics discussed by Mr. Little. To take them in the order in which they are given in the memorandum:\n\n1. The \"Carved Melon,\"—A translation of a circular that had found its way into Szechuan formed Enclosure No. 2 of my despatch No. 4 of the 13th January last; while my despatch No. 40 of the 23rd December had for its subject the cognate matter of the Japanese boycott. I need only say here that either agitation would appear to have died out in this province.\n\n2. Railway Loans.—I would refer to my despatches No. 12 of the 3rd February, No. 13 of the 11th February, and No. 24 of the 23rd March. When Mr. Little's memorandum was compiled he had not had access to the published accounts of the Chuan-Han Railway Company; consequently, the figures he gives for the loss sustained by the shareholders are below the mark. I fear that, pace Mr. Nicolson's informant (Enclosure No. 1 in my No. 24), the shareholders and the Government and people of Szechuan are still strongly opposed to obtaining from foreigners the money necessary to bring that railway to completion. As sufficient funds, even after the disappearance or dissipation of some 5,000,000 taels, yet remain to construct the first section of the line—a section that the native engineers reckon that it will take three years to build—the question of a foreign loan has not become acute as far as this province is concerned.\n\nNewspapers.—The newspapers published here are the \"Chengtu Jih-pao,\" a semi-official organ, and two other daily papers, the \"Tung-su Jih-pao\" and the \"Ping-lun Jih-pao,\" both under police supervision. Nothing to which serious objection could be taken has appeared in the first of these, while the second, as has been reported elsewhere, is subsidised by my French colleague. The \"Ping-lun Jih-pao\" has reprinted some articles on alleged French designs in Yunnan, but otherwise has not attacked foreigners. On the other hand, the \"Chengtu Jih-pao\" has published without comment Dr. Timothy Richards' outspoken \"Parting of the Ways,\" in which he contrasts the losses and dangers certain to result from refusal of foreign aid in railway and mining ventures with the prosperity and security that would follow a more liberal policy.\n\nOfficials.—The Governor-General, Chao Erh-hsun, has, with the exception of his somewhat testy refusal to admit our right to take an interest in the Thibetan campaign (see my No. 17 of the 23rd February), always shown himself courteous and reasonable. Whenever I have had occasion to write to him regarding anti-foreign rumours or the occasional anonymous placards imputing offences to foreigners he has promptly...\n\n[2827 g-2]\n\nD\n\n403\n\n9", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 430200, "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": "CO129-374 - Public Offices & Others - 1910", "page_number": 392, "title": "CO129-374 - Public Offices & Others - 1910", "content_text": "Dear Sir,\n\nRothbury~\n\nPevensey Road,\n\nSt Leonards-on-Sea\n\nApril 23 19:10\n\nI don't suppose it will be of much use to send her copies of the order amending order other than that The Registrar is urging; that it can only be obtained after the parties have been to the Registrar in person and made affidavit that there is no impediment and that the consent of parties required by law for them has been obtained, it is not necessary; that this will then after 15 days issue the certificate which must be presented to the officiating minister; that her fiancé has been told to apply to JAK Larger if he is doubtful on any point.\n\nShe believes the marriage is to be by special licence.

The government of the College is vested in the Court, of which the Rector of the College, who has always been a Government official, is President. The lecturers, who are Government officials or private medical practitioners, each receive a small honorarium, the funds being derived from the fees of the students and a Government grant-in-aid of $2,500. The minimum curriculum of study is five years, and the preliminary examination has been accepted by the General Medical Council of Great Britain. 124 students have been enrolled up to date (March, 1911); and of these 13 have become qualified \"licentiates\". Most of the licentiates have settled in the Colony, and are exerting a most useful influence in the direction of displacing the native medical methods and popularising Western medical and sanitary knowledge, while a considerable number of them are employed as resident surgeons in the hospitals for Chinese, as medical officers in charge of the Public Dispensaries, and as assistant medical officers on the railway works. The work of the College has thus far been carried on in lecture-rooms and laboratories made available in various hospitals, etc., in different parts of the City. Steps were being taken to provide adequate buildings of its own; but action was suspended when the University Scheme was proposed. When the University is opened, the College will be merged into its Faculty of Medicine.\n\nThe City Hall receives an annual grant of $1,200 from Government. It contains a theatre, some large rooms which are used for balls, meetings, concerts, etc., a museum in which are some very fair specimens, and a large reference and lending library, to which new volumes are added from time to time, as funds will allow. The building was erected in 1866-9 by subscription.\n\nSmall grants are also given to the Italian Convent ($1,280), the French Convent (both of which take in and tend abandoned or sick infants), the West Point Orphanage, the Seamen's Hospital, and other charitable institutions.\n\nThe Chinese Public Dispensaries are institutions maintained in order to provide the Chinese with the services of doctors, whose certificates will be accepted by the Registrar of Deaths and with the services of interpreters who can assist the inmates of houses where a case of infectious disease has occurred. Coolies are engaged and ambulances and dead vans provided in order to remove cases of infectious disease to the Infectious Diseases Hospital and dead bodies to the Mortuary. The Dispensaries receive sick infants and send them to one or other of the Convents and arrange for the burial of dead infants. Free advice and medicine are given and patients are attended at their houses. There are eight Dispensaries in existence including one for the boat population on a hulk in Causeway Bay.\n\nThe total cost of maintenance, which is defrayed by voluntary subscription, was $35,272. The Dispensaries are conducted by committees under the chairmanship of the Registrar General.\n\n## VII--CRIMINAL AND POLICE\n\nThe total of all cases reported to the Police was 9,789 being a decrease of 30 or 0.3 per cent. as compared with 1909.\n\nIn the division of these cases into serious and minor offences there is an increase in the former as compared with the previous year of 263 or 7.86 per cent.\n\n| Category | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Serious offences reported | 242 over the average of the quinquennial period commencing with the year 1906 |\n| Minor offences reported | 823 below the average of the quinquennial period |\n\nThe total strength of the Police Force for 1910 was Europeans 133, Indians 384, Chinese 525, making a total of 1,042 as compared with 1,054 in 1909 exclusive in each case of the five superior officers and staff of clerks and coolies. These figures include police paid for by the railway and other Government Departments, and by private firms. Of this force 13 Europeans, 99 Indians and 47 Chinese were stationed in the New Territories during the year, under the District Officer.\n\nThe District Watchmen Force, numbering 124, to which the Government contributes $2,000 per annum was well supported by the Chinese during the year. These watchmen patrol the streets in the Chinese quarter of the City. They are placed on police beats and are supervised by the European police on section patrol.\n\nThe total number of persons committed to Victoria Gaol was 4,867 as compared with 5,215 in 1909. Of these 1,212 were committed for criminal offences, against 1,325 in 1909. Of committals for non-criminal offences there were 296 more under the Prepared Opium Ordinance and 21 less for infringement of Sanitary Bye-laws.\n\nThe daily average of prisoners confined in the Gaol was 547, the average for 1909 being 560 and the highest previous average being 726 in 1904. The percentage of prisoners to population, according to the daily average of the former and the estimated number of the latter was .14, which is the average percentage for the last ten years. Owing, however, to the large floating population, which is constantly moving between the Colony and Canton, the percentage of crime to population does not convey an accurate idea of the comparative criminality of the residents of the Colony. The Gaol, as the result of recent extensions, has now accommodation for 590 prisoners.\n\nThe prison discipline was satisfactory, the average of punishments per prisoner being 1.33 as compared with 1.38 in 1909 and 1.27 in 1908.\n\nLong sentence prisoners serving two years and upwards are taught useful trades, including printing, book-binding, washing, carpentry, boot-making, net-making, painting and white-washing, mat-making, tailoring, oakum-picking, etc. The profit on the work done was $48,902 as against $43,946 in 1909.\n\nThere was $1,253 received and credited to Government for non-Government work against $1,800 in 1909.\n\nPage 12\nPage 55", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-379 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 435350, "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": "CO129-384 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 130, "title": "CO129-384 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "128 \n\n6 \n\nas the case may be, shall seal and execute a duplicate bond or duplicate bonds for a like amount and hand the same to the group and/or bank or banks representing the owner or owners of such lost, stolen, or destroyed bond or bonds, which group and/or bank or banks shall pay all expenses in connection with such delivery and execution for the account of the owner or owners of such bond or bonds.\n\nArt. 11.

During the period of construction the said accounts and vouchers will be open at any time to the inspection of two auditors for the Hupei-Hunan section of the Canton-Hankow Railway line and the Hupei section of the Szechuan-Hankow Railway line respectively, appointed and paid by the banks, whose duty it will be to satisfy the banks as to the due expenditure of the loan funds in accordance with the provisions of article 3 of this agreement, and to certify to monthly statements of the foreign materials purchased by the railway administration under the provisions of article 18 hereinafter. The railway administration will publish annually upon the close of its financial year a report in the Chinese and English languages, showing the working accounts and traffic receipts of the railways, which reports shall be procurable by the public on application.\n\nArt. 15. If after the deduction of the amount required for the redemption of the gold bonds referred to in article 2 of this agreement, and of the sums necessary for the service of interest on the loan during the time of construction, the balance of the loan proceeds, with accrued interest, should not be sufficient to complete the construction and equipment of the railway lines named in article 2 of this agreement, the amount of deficiency shall be provided, in the first place, from such Chinese funds as may be available so as to permit of the uninterrupted continuance of the work of construction, and any balance then uncovered shall be supplemented by the issue by the banks, under the terms of the present agreement, of a second series of the present loan, for an amount not exceeding 4,000,000l. This second series shall be secured pari passu as an equal charge in every respect on the internal revenues specified in article 9 of this agreement, and the time of its issue shall be left to the discretion of the banks. Should foreign capital still be required for the completion of the railway lines aforesaid it shall be provided by a further loan to be issued by the banks on terms to be arranged. If after the completion of the lines there should be a balance at the credit of the railways account, such unused balance will be transferred to the credit of the interest reserve fund, hereinafter mentioned in article 20, as a provision for payments for which the Imperial Chinese Government is responsible under this agreement, or will be devoted, if necessary, to the improvement of these railways or otherwise to their advantage.\n\n[2076 i-2]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-384 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 438247, "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": "CO129-391 - Acting Governor Claud Severn Governor Sir May - 1912 [7-8]", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-391 - Acting Governor Claud Severn Governor Sir May - 1912 [7-8]", "content_text": "The number of in-patients treated in the Tung Wa Hospital in 1911 was 1299 and the expenditure $16,000. The number of labours in the Maternity Hospital was 249. The Government makes a grant of $300 per annum to these Hospitals.\n\nTo avoid the complete seclusion from friends and relatives, which removal of Chinese plague patients to the Kennedy Town Infectious Diseases Hospital entailed, four District Plague Hospitals are now maintained by the Chinese in various parts of the Colony. These hospitals are under the management of the Chinese Public Dispensaries Committee, and receive a grant of £2,000 a year from the Government.\n\nThe new Kwong Wa Hospital for Chinese in the Kowloon Peninsula was opened on the 9th October. It occupies a site having an area of 3 acres and as designed will ultimately provide accommodation for 210 patients. The existing buildings contain 70 beds and 169 patients were accommodated during 1911. The collection of subscriptions and the supervision of the building were undertaken by a special committee under the chairmanship of the Registrar General, but when completed the hospital will form part of the Tung Wa Hospital and be under the same management. The hospital will receive a grant of $8,500 per annum from the Government.\n\nVII.—INSTITUTIONS NOT SUPPORTED BY GOVERNMENT.\n\nAmong institutions recognised and encouraged, but not to any considerable extent supported, by Government may be mentioned the Po Leung Kuk, the Eyre Refuge, the Hongkong College of Medicine, the City Hall, and the Chinese Public Dispensaries.\n\nThe Po Leung Kuk is a Chinese Society founded in 1878 for the suppression of kidnapping and traffic in human beings. It was incorporated in 1899 and is presided over by the Registrar General and not more than nine directors nominated by the Governor. The actual management is entrusted to a committee elected annually by the members of the Society. The Society's buildings have been declared a Refuge under the Women and Girls Protection Ordinance, and almost all women and girls detained by the Registrar General under that Ordinance are sent to the Po Leung Kuk. During 1911 the number of persons admitted was 514, and at the close of the year 72 remained under the care of the Society. The inmates are under the immediate charge of a Chinese matron, and instruction is given them by the matron and a Chinese teacher in elementary subjects and in needlework.\n\nThe Eyre Diocesan Refuge is an institution, under mission auspices, founded for rescue work among the Chinese. It is now housed in the Beilios Reformatory and receives a small grant from the Government as well as a contribution from the Po Leung Kuk.\n\nThe Hongkong College of Medicine was founded in 1887. The government of the College is vested in the Court, of which the Rector of the College, who has always been a Government official, is President. The lecturers, who are Government officials or private medical practitioners, each receive a small honorarium, the funds being derived from the fees of the students, a Government grant-in-aid of $2,500, and certain legacies and bequests. The minimum course of study is five years, and the preliminary examination has been accepted by the General Medical Council of Great Britain. 195 students had been enrolled up to last December, and of these 48 have become qualified licentiates. Most of the licentiates have settled in the Colony, and are exerting a most useful influence in the direction of displacing native medical methods and popularising Western medical and sanitary knowledge, while a considerable number are employed as resident surgeons in the hospitals for Chinese and as medical officers in charge of the Public Dispensaries. The work of the College has thus far been carried on in lecture-rooms and laboratories made available in various hospitals, etc., in different parts of the City. When the Hongkong University is open, the College will be merged into its Faculty of Medicine.\n\nThe City Hall receives an annual grant of $1,200 from Government. It contains a theatre, some large rooms which are used for balls, meetings, concerts, etc., a museum in which are some very fair specimens, and a large reference and lending library, to which new volumes are added from time to time, as funds will allow. The building was erected in 1866-9 by subscription.\n\nSmall grants are also given to the Italian Convent ($1,280), the French Convent, (both of which take in and tend abandoned or sick infants), the West Point Orphanage, the Seamen's Hospital, and other charitable institutions.\n\nThe Chinese Public Dispensaries are institutions maintained in order to provide the Chinese with the services of doctors, whose certificates will be accepted by the Registrar of Deaths, and with the services of interpreters, who can assist the inmates of houses, where a case of infectious disease has occurred. Coolies are engaged and ambulances and dead vans provided in order to remove cases of infectious disease to the Infectious Diseases Hospital and dead bodies to the Mortuary. The Dispensaries receive sick infants and send them to one or other of the Convents and arrange for the burial of dead infants. Free advice and medicine are given and patients are attended at their houses. There are eight Dispensaries in existence including one for the boat population on a hulk in Causeway Bay. The total cost of maintenance, which is defrayed by voluntary subscription, was $33,434. The Dispensaries are conducted by committees under the chairmanship of the Registrar General.\n\nVIII.—CRIMINAL AND POLICE.\n\nThe total of all cases reported to the Police was 9,289 being a decrease of 500 or 5% as compared with 1910. There was in 1911 a decrease in serious offences of 25 or 0.69% as compared with the previous year.\n\nThe number of serious offences reported was 167 over the average of the quinquennial period commencing with the...\n\nPage 17\n\n...\n\nPage 14\n\n...\n\nPage 10", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-391 - Acting Governor Claud Severn Governor Sir May - 1912 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 444579, "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": "CO129-404 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1913 [10-12]", "page_number": 91, "title": "CO129-404 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1913 [10-12]", "content_text": "## 1.

She spares no pains to promote the welfare of her pupils. She is an excellent disciplinarian. As a result of these qualities her work has at all times given me the highest satisfaction and has proved what I believed of her as a pupil-teacher, that she would develop into a teacher of the very first rank.\n\n(Signed) WM.

She is in charge of the 1st year pupils of the A.G. Department for English, History, Geography, Latin, and Mathematics. She also assists in their Science Course and Supervises the Needlework of the girls.\n\nHer work in all its departments is marked by method and orderliness. On the language side her oral instruction is vigorous, while written exercises give evidence of her desire to cultivate in her pupils a true appreciation of literature. On the Mathematical and Science side of the Course her methods are thoroughly up-to-date and, as a result, the pupils seem keenly interested in their work. Under her tuition some thirty pupils are well fitted at the end of each session to take up their 2nd year's Course.\n\nMiss HENDERSON maintains excellent discipline in all her classes. Her natural brightness, her close attention to details, and the general arrangement of her work make for this most desirable result. I am glad to say too that in the matter of routine duties connected with the school Miss HENDERSON has always given me entire satisfaction.\n\nFrom what I know of her character and ability I have no hesitation in recommending her as an able and energetic teacher who will take a true interest in her own pupils and also in the general welfare of a school.\n\nALEX.

A. Holt and Co. and to Messrs. William Thomson and Co., and I am to suggest that you should warn any other owners who are likely to be interested.\n\nA similar communication is being addressed to the Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n## Enclosure 4 in No. 1\n### Minute\n\nAccompanied by the superintendent of the Alfred Holt Line, I inspected the bunkers in this vessel and satisfied myself that the bolted plate in question was fitted during the vessel's construction, and the explanation is given as follows:-\n\nAt the time of the building of this ship and her sisters \"Lydeus,\" \"Telemachus,\" and \"Jason,\" the two earlier vessels, \"Hector\" and \"Sarpedon,\" were giving considerable trouble with coal becoming \"pocketed,\" and catching fire in similar corners of their starboard bunkers. It was therefore decided to put doors at these corners so that in case of fire it would be more easily accessible; and also for use when working coal from the after end of the bunker, for which purpose the opening is in constant use in the \"Telemachus.\"\n\nIn conversation with one of the engineers who has been in the \"Peleus\" fourteen months he admitted that he was not aware of the existence of this plate, which was hidden from view by spare fire-bars stowed against it. This fact was probably noted by the stokers, and it is suggested that the secret pocket in the bunker was built by them when the vessel was last in London, to do which they would have ample opportunity as no engine-room watch is kept when the boilers are not under steam.\n\nDunnage scantling, and about a dozen bunker hatches (4 feet long), nailed and lashed in an ingenious manner, were used in the construction of the pocket. The hatches had been missed by the carpenter on the voyage home, and as further proof of the guilt of the Chinese stokers it is stated that \"Nos. 1 and 2\" and \"the spare man\" disappeared directly the opium was discovered.\n\nA blue print showing the arrangement of the bunker is enclosed.\n\n**Board of Trade, Surveyor's Office, Liverpool, October 22, 1915.**\n\nA. F. WEIR.\n\n## No. 7. Confidential\n### Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received February 3.)\n\n**Peking, January 6, 1916**\n\nMy attention has been frequently drawn to the growth in China, and especially in Manchuria, of the pernicious habit of morphia injection. Letters from missionaries in the Manchurian provinces describe the pitiable condition of large numbers of victims of disease arising from the misuse of the drug, and the subject has been freely discussed in the foreign press in this country.\n\nI have the honour to enclose two extracts from the \"North China Daily News\" of the 3rd and 4th September respectively, the former describing the conditions under which morphia is sold and used in South Manchuria and the latter containing details of the circumstances in which the drug is imported into Japan and thence re-exported into China.\n\nWithout endorsing the extreme strictures passed by the authors of this correspondence on the action of the Japanese Government, I think there is sufficient evidence to show that the supplies of morphia in Manchuria are furnished almost entirely, if not entirely, by Japanese traders. The Japanese Minister, with whom I have had some conversation on the subject, has assured me that his Government are fully alive to the discredit brought on the good name of Japan by the persons who engage in the traffic, and that the Japanese consuls in China have received repeated instructions to enforce the prohibitions against morphia smuggling. Owing, however, to the ease with which the drug can be concealed, it is clear that no effective check on the traffic can be imposed unless the re-export from Japan is stringently dealt with.\n\nThe Chinese Government are anxious to devise measures to protect their subjects from the effects of the traffic, but in the \"regulations\" which they have drafted for this purpose they have failed, as they so often do, to take sufficient account of the difficulties due to ex-territorial jurisdiction, with the result that the regulations are utterly impractical. The Inspector-General of Customs, who was consulted in the matter, has pointed out that the problem is essentially a police, and not a customs one. Legitimate channels of entry have been already closed by stringent customs regulations. The prevention of clandestine importation of morphia can only be effected by cutting off the demand from inside or by stopping the supply from abroad. Mr. Aglen is of opinion that in present circumstances it is useless to initiate negotiations with the foreign Governments concerned for curtailing the supply of morphia from abroad, but that suitable domestic legislation should at once be introduced with a view to checking the demand in China itself. Mr. Aglen has therefore suggested that, as a preliminary to negotiations with foreign Powers, a licensing law should be enacted by which all Chinese shops dealing in foreign drugs should be brought under control, and the sale of dangerous foreign drugs by anyone except the holder of a special licence should be made a punishable offence, and the possession of morphia by anyone except the holder of a special licence or doctor's prescription should also be made a punishable offence.\n\nIt remains to be seen whether the legislative and administrative organisation of the Chinese Government is sufficiently complete to enforce some such practical measures to protect their own people. It may be confidently anticipated that if this is done there should be no insurmountable difficulty in obtaining the co-operation of foreign Governments for the enforcement of preventive measures in places in which, and on persons over whom, the latter have jurisdiction.\n\n(Copy to Tokyo.)\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

This contract was to supply and complete in 90 weeks from acceptance of Contract,\n\nThe dates given in Mr. D. Jaffe's Report (19th February, 1918) for delivery F, C, B, do not apply to the contract as accepted. The contract was accepted by letter dated 9th January, 1914, so the plant should have been erected ready for working by the 1st October, 1915.\n\nMessrs. James Simpson & Co's Erector arrived in the Colony on the 27th March, 1915, but was unable to proceed with the erection, as the buildings were not sufficiently far advanced, the engine room not being roofed in so that erection could proceed, until December 1915. Time was an essential part of the contract, the usual powers for extending time were not inserted, and the Specification was strictly drawn binding the Contractor in the Clauses 16 and 17.\n\nBut the Contractor was prevented proceeding with the erection of the engines until two-and-a-half months after the time allowed in the contract for completion. In the circumstances, the proper course to pursue would I suggest have been for the Government and the Contractor to have mutually agreed a new date for completion of contract.\n\nThis does not appear to have been done, and I have difficulty in seeing how Cl. 16 and 17 could be enforced for delays that arose then October 1915, but previous to December, 1917, when an agreement was come to between Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Norman for Simpson & Co.\n\nI have been unable to interview Mr. Dyer, the Fitter who was in charge of the job, and when last heard of he was at Bombay, but he has not yet reported in London, and the firm have no information regarding him.\n\nAny question of compensation or enforcing of penalty under the contract is complicated by the delay in handing over the building in a condition fit for erection to proceed when the Contractor was ready to do so, together with the effect of War conditions, both on manufacture and shipment (which, however, might or might not affect the case).\n\nThe letters of the 27th February, 1918, from The Hon. The Governor of Hong Kong to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies mentions that \"no actual loss has been suffered from the delay in handing over the new engines.\" From the conditions, December, 1917, agreed between Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Norman for James Simpson & Co, it is apparent no inconvenience was anticipated due to the necessity of replacing certain parts from this country, as it states \"such replacement to be effected so soon as conditions in England permitted, etc., or in any case not later than six months after hostilities have ceased.\n\nI have just been informed that the parts have been shipped and an Erector will sail for Hong Kong, via America, by first available boat.\n\nSo far as the Contractor is concerned, in substituting parts no avoidable delay appears to have arisen here.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-451 - Public Offices - 1918.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 477888, "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": "CO129-451 - Public Offices - 1918", "page_number": 125, "title": "CO129-451 - Public Offices - 1918", "content_text": "# Report by the Consulting Engineer\n\n## Hong Kong 1571\n\n### 26th September 1920\n\n### 4841\n\nThe chief points referred to have already been reported, and my letter of the 12th June 1918 could not have been in the hands of the Government when the enclosures were despatched.\n\nI have reviewed the case with the information sent and the present enclosures, and have come to the same conclusion expressed by me on the 12th June.\n\nWith regard to delay, since February 1918, when an agreement was made between Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Norman, the contractor at once put in hand the necessary parts and they were shipped and despatched in spite of very serious difficulties in the way of doing so in this country at the present time, and an erector is now in the Colony on the work, and no delay appears to have occurred.\n\nBy the above agreement of February 1918, an engine was to be made ready to pump continuously.

Any European Member of the Police Force may, after each period of five years' service, on claiming his return passage, under §16 of Ordinance 11 of 1900, apply through the Captain Superintendent of Police to His Excellency the Governor for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding ten months.\n\n2. Should this application be approved, the applicant will receive full pay, during his absence, and a certificate entitling him to a return passage to the Colony within the period specified subject to his passing a satisfactory Medical Examination about three months before the expiration of his leave as to his fitness to return to a tropical climate.\n\n3. The Applicant shall enter into a bond for the refund of the full pay, or the difference between his pension and full pay as the case may be, drawn after his leaving the Colonies, in case he does not return at the period specified.\n\n4. The period may nevertheless be extended by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, such ground as may be satisfactory, and such extension shall be deemed to be leave originally granted within the meaning of the above Sections 1, 2, and 3, anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.\n\n5. On the Applicant's return to the Colony, he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the Force, and he will be sworn in for a further period of five years' service under §§ 8 and 13 of Ordinance 11 of 1900.\n\nI also certify that he should be paid Good Conduct Allowance at the rate of £33:00: annum and Language Allowance at the rate of $.......................per annum at the current rates of exchange during the period of his leave.\n\n**N.B.** Officers before returning to the Colony must apply to the Crown Agent at least three months prior to the expiration of their leave of absence for instructions as to their medical examination.\n\n6. If at the expiration of five years' service leave is refused on the ground that the Applicant's service cannot then be spared, he shall be allowed leave at the earliest suitable date, and the time elapsing between the expiration of the above-mentioned five years' service and the date of his going on leave, shall be calculated towards the period of five years' service to be served by him on his return from such leave. If the time of year at which a period of five years' service expires is on consideration of health unsuitable for leave to be taken, the Applicant may, by permission, go on leave at any time within six months from such expiration of service, and this interval shall count towards his next period of five years' service.\n\n7. The period of time spent on leave will not count towards the calculation of time constituting any term of five years' service for passage.\n\n**Note:** Under Section 2 he is entitled to a return passage, 2nd class, at the cost of the Colony, subject to his passing a satisfactory Medical Examination about 3 months before the expiration of his leave as to his fitness to return to a tropical climate.

Fiddian\n\n22/9/28\n\nI have spoken to Sir C. Clementi. He is\n\ndefinitely against any one from outside who is\n\nover 45 or so. He says by the time such a man\n\nhad got the necessary local knowledge he would\n\nlack the necessary drive. Our last 2 appointments\n\nfrom outside were failures.\n\nThe only 2 local men to be considered are\n\nMoore and Minett. Although Minett is 56 he has\n\nthe necessary drive and administrative experience;\n\nhe did well in British Guiana.\n\nThe objection is that he would be unpopular with the\n\nother doctors, because he has only short service\n\nin Hong Kong and is not very tactful. Moore's\n\nappointment would be popular but Sir C. Clementi\n\ndoubts his driving power. There is to be a\n\nDeputy Director and he thinks a possible solution\n\nwould be Moore No.1 and Minett No.2.\n\nIf there were a really good man\n\navailable Sir C. Clementi would offer him up to £1,450\n\nif necessary.\n\nThe matter will I presume go to Promotions\n\nCommittee again as you suggest.\n\nN.B.

You are aware of the difficulty which this Colony has experienced in recruiting suitable Medical Officers, particularly for posts where specialist qualifications are required, and I am of opinion that a revision of the salary-scales is necessary, if this Colony is to be able to recruit competent men for its service and offer adequate encouragement in the way of improved prospects to its present officers.\n\n3. In the first place I propose that the title of the Principal Civil Medical Officer shall be changed to the now widely-recognized title, Director of Medical and Sanitary Services, and that the salary of the post shall be raised to the scale £1,200-£50-£1,450 which approaches the scale of the Director of Public Works, the Treasurer, and other heads of large departments; and that Dr. Addison be advanced to £1,250 on his next incremental date (in 1928).\n\n4. Under the Director it is proposed to create a new post of Deputy Director with a salary-scale £1,125-£25-£1,200 and to appoint Dr. Moore thereto on the initial salary as from 1st January, 1928. Dr. Moore has over 22 years' service in the Colony and has been on the maximum (£1,000), of his present scale since 1921.\n\n5. Over and above these two special posts it is proposed to institute a new grade of Senior Medical Officer with a salary-scale of £1,025-£25-£1,100. This grade will be open to all Medical Officers who by length and efficiency of service may be considered eligible for some promotion beyond the maximum of the ordinary salary-scale. I had intended to recommend for this grade in 1923, Dr. C. W. McKenny, the next senior Medical Officer to Dr. Moore. Unfortunately, however, Dr. McKenny's health has recently become so indifferent that I have no option but to place him on pension and no actual appointment to the new grade will be necessary for 1928. A separate report on Dr. McKenny's retirement has been forwarded to you.\n\n6. A slight increase in the maximum (£1,020 instead of £1,000) combined with the raising of increments from £25 to £30 per annum is considered adequate for ordinary Medical Officers, who will of course always have the prospect of rising to the grade of Senior Medical Officer if not to one of the special posts.\n\n7. For the specialists, where our inability to compete with other services in recruitment has been most felt, considerable improvements are suggested. The initial salary of the Bacteriologist is raised to £800 per annum and his maximum to £1,100. For the Assistant Bacteriologist £740-£30-£1,040 is proposed. Similar salaries are provided for the Medical Officer of Health and Assistant Medical Officers of Health, and for the Health Officer of the Port and Second Health Officer of the Port. It is, however, to be understood that these scales are only intended to apply to fully qualified officers and in the case of Medical Officers of Health and Health Officers of the Port the possession of the Diploma of Public Health should be a condition precedent to the grant of these scales.\n\nThe higher scale for the senior officers in these branches, reaching, it will be noted, the same maximum as the grade of Senior Medical Officer, is designed to offer opportunities for transfer from other Colonies; but it is hoped that the scale for Assistants, coupled perhaps with a contribution towards the cost of specialist training, will attract suitable candidates.\n\n* No. C. 30832/27 [No. 8],\n\nMed. and San.-9870, 24.\n\nPage 23", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-511-15 Appointment of Director of Medical and Sanitary Services 3-9-1928 - 19-12-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 515763, "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": "CO129-511-15 Appointment of Director of Medical and Sanitary Services 3-9-1928 - 19-12-1928", "page_number": 24, "title": "CO129-511-15 Appointment of Director of Medical and Sanitary Services 3-9-1928 - 19-12-1928", "content_text": "24 \n\n2 \n\ntraining, will prove attractive to young men starting their careers. In view of the very extensive assistance given to Dr. W. K. Dunscombe in his training for the post of Assistant Bacteriologist (please see your despatch No. 138 of 24th May, 1927*), I do not propose to alter the initial salary, £700 per annum, agreed upon with him; but for the sake of uniformity I propose to grant him a special increment of £15 per annum at the end of eighteen months' service and thereafter annual increments of £30 in accordance with the new scale. \n\nSimilarly the scale £750-£25-£1,000 granted in the case of Dr. Fawcett, recently appointed Assistant Medical Officer of Health, will be retained for the period of his agreement. If he is subsequently promoted to the permanent staff he will advance from £800 to £1,040 by increments of £30 in accordance with the new scale instead of from £800 to £1,000 by increments of £25 as stipulated in his agreement. \n\n8. For specialist appointments requiring less arduous training the same salary scale as for the Assistant Specialists is proposed. In this category would fall the Radiologist and possibly the Medical Officer-in-Charge of Native Hospitals if possessed of a really efficient knowledge of Chinese, the desirability of which for such a post hardly needs emphasis. \n\n9. For the Analyst the initial salary is increased from £500 to £625 and the maximum from £750 to £900. Mr. Dovey, who has been on £750 since 1923, will be advanced to £775 on 1st January, 1928. The initial salary (£400) of the Assistant Analyst is left unchanged but the maximum is raised from £600 to £700 and Mr. Lubatti, who has been on £600 since 1922, will similarly be advanced to £625 on 1st January, 1928. \n\n10. Schedules showing in tabular form the new proposals and their application to existing staff are annexed. \n\nOwing to great pressure of other work it was not found possible to complete these proposals in time for inclusion in the Budget for 1928. I have, however, submitted them to the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council and have obtained in advance its unanimous agreement to a supplementary vote for the excess ($6,340) involved, should such a vote become necessary. It is of course possible, if not probable, that owing to unfilled appointments and other causes part of the excess will be covered in 1928 by savings on other items of the Personal Emoluments of the Medical Department. \n\nI have, &c., \n\nC.

ON THE SICK LIST.\n\nJapan Leaves Preliminaries to U. S. & Britain.\n\nTokyo July, 19. The Cabinet session to-day was largely devoted to a discussion of limitation of armaments, following Baron Shidehara's report on subject. It is understood authoritatively that the main points of policy agreed upon at this meeting or previously fixed are substantially as follows:\n\n1. Japan is most willing to participate in an Arms Conference seeking a positive reduction, not merely limitation.\n2. Japan is ready to leave the venue and other preliminary details to the Anglo-American discussion.\n3. Japan does not desire to be the host of such Conference.\n4.

Prince George is indisposed and may have to take a short cure. Interviewed by Reuter, Prince George's Comptroller said the Prince's digestion had been disordered for some few weeks, and dieting was now considered prudent. The Prince has cancelled his public engagements and has temporarily relinquished his duties at the Foreign Office. He is not going to a cure centre, but he will spend as much time as possible in the country. Reuter.\n\nThe Duke of Gloucester, speaking at the Kent Agricultural Show to-day, apologised for the absence of his brother, Prince George, who, he said, was indisposed and may have to undergo a cure which will take a short while.\n\nIt is learned that the Tokyo Government has convinced Baron Matsudaira and Mr. Debuchi that it has been apprised of all Anglo-American disarmament developments and is fully satisfied to allow the early stages of the discussions to continue along present lines. Reuter.\n\nPrince George, who is the King's fourth son, served for some time in the Navy (including service aboard H.M.S. Hawkins China Station), and a few months ago took up duties in the Western Department of the Foreign Office. --British Wireless.\n\n### Positive Reduction.\n\nTokyo, July 20. It is understood that the Cabinet has decided that Japan is willing to participate in the Disarmament Conference which will aim at a positive reduction in armaments and not merely limitation. The venue of the Conference is to be left for Anglo-American arrangement and Japan will support the simplest form of \"yardstick.\" Reuter.\n\n### Not Attending Jamboree.\n\nLondon, July 20. Owing to his indisposition Prince George will be unable to attend the World Scout Jamboree which is to be held at Birkenhead on August 3. -Reuter.\n\n### Taking Things Quietly.\n\nLondon, July 20. Prince George who, as announced yesterday by his brother, the Duke of Gloucester, is slightly indisposed, is suffering from digestion trouble. He has cancelled his public engagements and, owing to medical advice, he has temporarily relinquished his duties in the Foreign Office. Although he is to take things quietly and will diet for a time, steps now being taken are merely precautionary and he is expected to resume his normal activities shortly. -British Wireless.\n\n### THE COAL INDUSTRY.\n\n#### The Premier Meeting Both Sides.\n\nLondon, July 19. The conversations of the Government with the miners and coalowners regarding conditions in the coal industry are being continued.

The Foreign Secretary, Mr. Arthur Henderson, to-day received a deputation from the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society. They suggested that the temporary Slavery Commission should be revived by decision of the next assembly and that when it had been revived, the documents in possession of the British Government concerning slavery in Abyssinia, concerning raids from Abyssinian into British territory, traffic across Red Sea, etc., should be sent by the British Government to the Commission. In his reply, the Foreign Secretary assured the deputation of the personal sympathy of himself and the Prime Minister, and promised, in consultation with the departments concerned, to give favourable consideration to the proposal which they made concerning the revival of the temporary Slavery Commission. --British Wireless.\n\n### ANGORA BLAZE.\n\n#### Thousand Buildings Said to be Destroyed.\n\nConstantinople, July 19. A considerable portion of the town of Angora has been ravaged by fire. The flames, fanned by a strong wind, caused the destruction of over a thousand shops and houses.

A young woman armed with a revolver, which is believed to have been unloaded, forced a citizen to drive her to the headquarters of the Security Benefit Association in a busy part of the city, where she intercepted two employees of the association, and Monarchist and Fascist University students, defying the orders of their rector, demonstrating against the Treaty of Versailles. She took from them a satchel containing $14,000 (£2,800). \"Drop that package or I will blow your insides out,\" she declared. She fled on foot into a nearby building, and escaped, discarding her revolver, which was found without cartridges.\n\n### WAR GUILT.\n\n#### Bonfires to Symbolise Readiness for Defence.\n\n#### GERMAN DENIAL.\n\nBerlin, June 29.

From what he said I think it most unlikely that he would be able to accept the job if it were offered him. He is well aware of the interest and importance of the work and I do not think that anything would be gained by endeavouring to bring special pressure to bear on him.\n\nHe is inclined himself to think that the Board of Education could produce, apart from himself, a suitable candidate, but he appreciates the necessity of getting a man who will not only write a sound report but also establish such relations with the Hong Kong Government as will induce them to accept it. He said that he would have a talk with the Board of Education authorities concerned regarding the possibility of himself going or other possible candidates and that he would let me know, or you if he could not 'phone to me today, whether in his opinion the prospects of getting a really good man from the Board of Education were such as to justify an official requisition being made to the Board.\n\nI think that his judgement could safely be relied on. If he is doubtful I am inclined to suggest that other possibilities than a Board nominee should be considered.\n\nIf he advises a reference to the Board, a requisition should be made in general terms, stating the nature of the work and not referring to any member of the Board.

If it is decided to proceed in the direction of Mr. Mann I should be ready, if asked, to consult Mr. Duckworth, Chief Inspector at the Board of Education, regarding the propriety of consulting Mr. Mann confidentially before making any formal requisition to the Board of Education for his services.

On the occasion of a vacancy, I think it very desirable that the post should be filled by an educationist and, if possible, from the existing staff of the Education Department\".\n\n2. Prior to Mr. Woods vacating the post, I discussed the prospects with Mr. Southorn, **Colonial Secretary**, and minuted my impression that it was the intention of the Hong Kong Government to appoint another cadet in Mr. Woods' place when he went on. Mr. Southorn talked about experience of administrative work, contacts with secretariat and official world, etc., as though they were, as indeed they may be in the Hong Kong official world, confined to the cadets.\n\n3. As foreseen in my minute, the Governor, when Mr. Woods went higher, proposed a cadet, Mr. Smith, in his place. He referred, it is true, to the **Secretary of State's** instructions. He would have recommended Mr. de Martin, **Senior Inspector of Schools**, \"had he been willing to stay\". Mr. de Martin had been acting as **Director** for some time. I gather from a subsequent talk with him that he had never been told that he would be recommended for the post if he stayed on. Apparently, also, the Governor would have recommended Mr. Sutherland, another **Inspector of Schools**, had he not been \"just about to retire\".

Mr. Brown is \nrejected because his retirement is also expected, \nno other educational officer with enough administrative experience is forthcoming.

I agree that the peculiar and restricted circumstances of Hong Kong make it difficult to bring into this post an outsider either from home or from another Colonial Educational Department. If the Malayan Education Department were properly organised so as to cover systematic Chinese education it might be possible later on to bring in a man from Malaya. At present we are apparently limited in choice to officers serving in Hong Kong. On the need for outside advice see paragraph 14 below.\n\n7. I cannot therefore oppose Mr. Sayers' appointment and it is apparently useless to insist on his being compelled to hold it for a period which will cover not only his time of learning something about education but also a period of applying what he has learned. No Government it appears will stand in the way of an officer's promotion particularly when he is the best available man for a higher post.\n\n8. Nor, in the light of recent experience, do I attach much importance to Mr. Sayers getting educational experience and ideas when he is next home on leave, though I am prepared to do what I can to provide him with facilities as I did for Mr. Smith. But the probability of his going on higher before he has had time to unload what he learns during his time in England makes the provision of facilities for him rather depressing work.\n\n9.

If the existing departmental regulations provide for courses of Chinese study and testing of the results at various stages for educational officers, these regulations should be more strictly enforced, as it seems, on the Governor's admission, to have been the case hitherto.

From every point of view, and not merely with reference to this particular question, it is most desirable that familiarity \n\n## \nMinutiae $305 3 \n\nThe terms of cadet appointments with merely a proviso that it is not necessarily reserved for cadets should be altered, and it should be made clear by a public pronouncement that the appointment is definitely an Education Department appointment, which need not necessarily be given to Education officers, but will be given outside the Department only if no suitable person is available within it. Unless this change of emphasis is secured, and unless the Education Department knows that the emphasis has changed, there will always be a tendency on the part of the officers with 10 or more years service to be content with routine work. They will not try to qualify themselves for a Director's post by distinctive work, by study leave, or by Chinese studies if they know that in fact cadets will always be given preference.

I think there is undoubtedly a feeling in Hong Kong, and probably in Malaya too, that it is only cadets who can acquire the knack of getting on with the other Departments and with the Secretariat that a Director of Education certainly requires. The Governments need, I think, a reminder that experience in other Colonies shows that educational officers, if they are given proper chances and necessary experience, have no difficulty in acquiring this knack.\n\n14. Meanwhile, assuming that for some years to come Hong Kong will necessarily have a Director of Education who is either a cadet knowing little, if anything, about education or an educational officer with ideas and experience more or less restricted to Hong Kong, I suggest the desirability of arranging for a general stocktaking of the local education system by someone deputed for the purpose from this country. What is wanted is someone with experience of educational administration in a progressive English borough or municipality. The Board of Education could depute from their own staff or select from the staff of a L.E.A. an excellent man for the purpose.

Six months would be enough for the work including the voyage there and back and possibly less might do. It is, I am sure, a great mistake to suppose that the advice of an outsider is useless. This has been recognised by various Commissions sent out by the Secretary of State and by the fact that the Board of Education in the past have been asked to send officers to British Guiana and Cyprus. Anyone selected by the Board of Education for such a job would have the sense to establish the friendliest relations from the start with the local official and non-official world and would realise that his first duty is to obtain information from those who know the country.\n\nHong Kong is, with the possible exception of Malaya, in all educational matters the most self-satisfied of all the Dependencies. From the talks I have had with many officers, educational and otherwise, from that part of the world I feel sure that in so far as they recognise any defects in their system, and such recognition is hard to find, they think that such defects can be remedied only by those whose experience is limited to Hong Kong. On the other hand outsiders who have visited the place confirm the impression that I have from the reports that there is very much that could be mended by a person with fresh ideas from outside.\n\nAnd it has to be remembered that British influence in South China depends to some extent on the kind of education that is provided in this Colony.

METHODS OF ERADICATION\n\n### (a) Bovine tuberculosis\n\n137. The total eradication of bovine tuberculosis from all herds is generally agreed to be the only complete solution of the problem of tuberculous milk. It should also, to some extent, reduce the farmer's costs in producing milk, so offsetting some of the costs incurred in eradication, especially if this is economically carried out. But any such scheme must take account of conditions peculiar to Great Britain. In the first place, the incidence of tuberculosis among our cattle is so high that the wholesale slaughter of infected animals (as in the United States and Canada) is out of the question. Not only would its immediate cost be prohibitive, but it would also seriously contract the supply of milk. Further, the continual movement of dairy cattle, not only between farms, but also between districts, adds very materially to the difficulties of freeing herds from tuberculosis and of keeping them free afterwards.\n\n138. It is not enough to secure that all infected animals have once been removed from a herd; steps must also be taken to ensure that no infected animals are subsequently introduced into the herd. Nor is it enough to secure that all animals introduced themselves come from disease-free herds and do not, at the time, react positively to the tuberculin test. For there is always the risk that they may have incurred infection in transit. As the presence of infection in its early stages is not disclosed by the tuberculin test, the fact that they pass this test is no guarantee that they will not subsequently develop disease. This risk of reinfection has an important bearing on the question of eradication of tuberculosis in this country. It is sometimes held that it would be sufficient to take the important step towards eradication of encouraging individual farmers to free their own herds from tuberculosis. In this way it is hoped that a gradually increasing number of disease-free herds would be created. But the difficulties that exist, and would continue to exist, in preventing the reintroduction of disease in herds which depend even in part on recruitment from outside for the maintenance of their numbers, seriously limit the usefulness of such a policy.\n\n139. Self-supporting herds, indeed, may be cleared of tuberculosis by the method first proposed by Professor Bang in Denmark, or by some modification of it. According to this, calves are reared in isolation on pasteurised milk. At maturity they pass into a separate herd, which ultimately entirely replaces the old infected herd. The period of building a free herd may be shortened by dividing the original herd into two sections, reactor and non-reactors to the tuberculin test.\n\n140. But most herds are not self-supporting, and some special provision must be adopted to deal with them. The first of the possible ways of doing so would be to eliminate flying herds (i.e., those entirely or mainly maintained by buying-in cows to replace those dropping out) by obliging all farmers to rear enough calves of their own to maintain the strength of their herds. In existing circumstances we unfortunately cannot advocate such a policy, as it would run counter to the present organisation of the industry. Though there are large numbers of herds, already self-supporting...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-562-12 Dysentry epidemic- recommendation to enforce compulsory pasteurization of milk 7-6-1937 - 17-8-1937.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 554265, "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": "CO129-562-12 Dysentry epidemic- recommendation to enforce compulsory pasteurization of milk 7-6-1937 - 17-8-1937", "page_number": 63, "title": "CO129-562-12 Dysentry epidemic- recommendation to enforce compulsory pasteurization of milk 7-6-1937 - 17-8-1937", "content_text": "## (3) Loans\n\nThese are not to be regarded as inducements to join the voluntary eradication scheme, but as necessary to remove otherwise fatal hindrances, viz.: (1) the difficulty of finding the very large numbers of breeding herds required at the outset, (a) of the right breeds for the producer-retailer herds, (b) in the right places, and (c) in the right hands, if the choice is further restricted to farmers with the necessary free capital; and (2) the very short time allowed before the producer-retailer must either clean up his herd or drop out, giving in fact no choice unless those in need are allowed access to capital. But loans should be restricted to those for whom they are unavoidable, and, as herds in the ordinary course of life will frequently change hands, it is desirable that those granted for the replacement of reactors should be paid off in the shortest possible time.\n\nPutting the loss on each reactor replaced at £10 (probably a low figure at first, while clean cattle are scarce and demand is urgent) the average sum required (not all in the first year) would be £4 per head of the herd, with 40 per cent. infection. But for the essentially \"flying\" herds of producer-retailers infection will average much higher; 80 per cent. will be frequent in many districts and some herds are said to reach 100 per cent. Taking 70 per cent. for producer-retailers, the sum for a 50-cow herd would be £850. If, of the 50 cows, 10 were dry, or heifers not yet calved, bonus at 1d. a gallon on the milk of 40 cows at 600 gallons each would produce £100 a year and roughly this should pay off loan and interest in four years. Further, if loans averaging £7 per cow were required for half the first 500,000 cleaned up, the total borrowed for reactors would be £1,750,000 in the first four years; and, the advances being spread fairly evenly over that period and the repayments beginning at once in the next four years, a point would soon be reached at which the loans and repayments would approximate to a revolving fund, and the total outstanding at any time might not exceed £2 millions.\n\nAs regards loans for building purposes and the like, the circumstances of different farms differ so widely that it is not possible to give even illustrative figures here. It may be hoped that the cases in which any large amount is required will be few; but, as the Hannah experiment showed, one such case in which neither the farmer nor his landlord can provide the necessary funds might endanger success over a whole neighbourhood. There are technical questions of some difficulty in connection with such matters as security, tenure, and the position of the landlord in the matter, into which it has been impossible for us to enter, but it is not to be supposed that such difficulties are insuperable; and the recent lowering of interest rates for agricultural credits, and the powers of the Milk Marketing Board mentioned below should help towards solutions.\n\nUnder paragraph 66 of the Milk Marketing Scheme it is provided that the Board may lend to any registered producer up to a limit of two-thirds the total value of his milk and may guarantee payment of any sums secured by an agricultural charge under the Agricultural Credits Act of 1928. Free use of these powers would admirably facilitate the arrangement and recovery of eradication loans for both purposes.\n\n## (4) Inducements to join the scheme\n\nFree advice and testing (except in cases where the farmer draws back from the scheme), with some eventual share of the £2 millions of paragraph 13, do not promise an early and direct increase of income; for that attraction the scheme relies on a bonus on all \"certified\" milk (in its new signification) provided by a levy on all milk produced. In originating this proposal, the Grigg Commission provided that half the levy should be recovered from the producer and half from the distributor. Where the shares of these parties in the total divisible product are annually resettled, the primary incidence of such a levy is likely soon to cease to be the ultimate incidence, and I here assume that the levy, whatever its amount, would be recovered primarily from the producer, as provided in the Milk Marketing Scheme. The working of the levy-bonus plan would not be free from difficulty. Breeding herds would only come into it to a minor extent; their main reward would come from an active sellers' market for clean cattle. For milking herds, assume a bonus of 1d. per gallon, i.e., £2 10s. 0d. a year for a 600-gallon cow. At first the only cows earning bonus would be those (say 20,000) already registered in tubercle-free herds, with perhaps an equal number now in herds clean in fact, but not registered as such, which might secure an accepted certificate in the first year. The total bonus on these lines would be £100,000, and the levy a small fraction of a penny per gallon. Each year, as eradication progressed, the rate of levy would have to be raised until at last the total of levy and bonus alike had reached £6 millions, and, each farmer receiving exactly what he paid out, the plan would have come to an end.\n\nWhat any producer received under such a plan would depend on the date of his \"accepted\" certificate; and the owners of the last 500,000 cattle cleaned up would receive nothing, though they would have paid levy all along. \n\nPage 105 \nPage 112", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-562-12 Dysentry epidemic- recommendation to enforce compulsory pasteurization of milk 7-6-1937 - 17-8-1937.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 554266, "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": "CO129-562-12 Dysentry epidemic- recommendation to enforce compulsory pasteurization of milk 7-6-1937 - 17-8-1937", "page_number": 64, "title": "CO129-562-12 Dysentry epidemic- recommendation to enforce compulsory pasteurization of milk 7-6-1937 - 17-8-1937", "content_text": "## \nbe as simple as this diagrammatic arithmetic, but the principle holds.) Some selection for priority is unavoidable; but such levy and bonus arrangements as these would throw a great strain on the scheme, especially where a producer had been enabled to take a high priority by the grant of an official loan. Further, if the Government, to give the scheme a good send-off, should undertake to pay the bonus for the first few years, most of the public money so spent would fall as a reward to owners who, in earlier years, had for their own reasons cleaned up their herds, and would give little or no return in the shape of bringing new men into the scheme. In these circumstances it may be well to consider the alternative of paying the bonus only from (say) a year after the opening of the list of supervised herds, and continuing it for a fixed number of years from the date of the \"accepted certificate\" of each herd. Putting the number at ten years, the result would be that the total of levy or bonus would never rise much above £3,000,000, and for ten years after eradication was complete a diminishing number of farmers would continue to draw bonus, the levy decreasing as gradually as it grew at first.\n\nOn the figures above assumed for reactor loans, those who borrowed the full amount per cow would assign the first four years of bonus to the extinction of the loans and enjoy the £2 10s. Od. Those who used their own capital instead of borrowing, would replace it and also receive £15 per cow in all for six years.\n\nFrom the evidence given before us, I have gathered that one of the chief reasons that in the farmer's mind weigh against undertaking eradication is the risk that, owing to some casual re-infection, four years of effort may leave him in a position to begin all over again; and, with no time limit in the levy and bonus scheme, he would not only have the continued expense of replacing reactors to meet, but also see his years of recoupment vanishing. To remove the re-infection risk a scheme had been suggested to us, before the advent of the Milk Marketing Board made a levy possible, under which the farmer in return for a fixed number of annual payments into a mutual insurance fund, would be guaranteed assistance out of the fund for replacing reactors as long as might be unavoidably necessary, the scheme when eradication was practically complete being transformed into a scheme of insurance against the re-infection risk, at a small continuing premium. The desirability of a permanent scheme of this latter kind should still be borne in mind.\n\nIn this question of inducements, it is essential to be not only definite but also liberal enough to bring into the voluntary scheme so large a majority of herd owners that compulsion, if and when the question should arise, would apply only to a small minority of recalcitrants. It would be very easy to spend large sums in eradication and yet fail to attain the objective, in consequence of some relatively small but injudicious parsimony. Any idea in the farmer's mind that, by hanging back, better terms for joining the scheme might be exacted, would have deplorable effects.\n\n### (5) Incidence as between private and public purses\n\nThe farming industry pays the initial costs of eradication, other than staff and incidentals, restoring the capital sum to the farmer who uses his own resources, or to the source from which he borrows, out of the bonus provided ultimately to all by means of a levy on all. (The inequalities between individuals to which this might give rise are dealt with under (4).) When the levy and bonus have ceased, the farmer is left with the net gain (d. per gallon, or £2,000,000 in all) arising under paragraph 13 of the report, unless the Milk Marketing Boards fail to prevent its diversion to the dairyman (or even the consumer) in the annual settlement of prices.\n\nExcept for a small increase of the Ministry of Agriculture staff for the direction of the eradication scheme, and the cost of providing the \"revolving fund\" of perhaps £2,000,000 (on my rough assumptions) for a period of years, which might fall primarily on the Exchequer, the other costs both of eradication and of the new staff for clinical inspection, and later for other duties connected with diseases, fall primarily on county funds. Tempting as it may be to think that some portion of all this expenditure might properly be made to fall on the private purse of the consumer, it must be remembered that nothing can prevent him from opposing to higher prices his ultimate retort of restricting his purchases, with serious results to the dairy industry as a whole.\n\nUnless it be the general plea of hard times for farming, I see no reason why the farmer should be rewarded by a permanent increase of income, large in aggregate amount, as a reward for making his product safe for human consumption, while the ratepayer continued to pay large sums; but the real amount of this increase and the extent to which the farmer should retain it, require to be examined and decided on grounds outside the province of the committee.\n\n### (6) Incidence as between different ratepayers and the taxpayer\n\nWhatever may be the fair total to levy on ratepayers as a whole in this connection, it requires special re-allocation between different localities, not only because the dense human populations that create high rateable values do not share ground with the dense cow populations that require veterinary attention, but also because from the point of view of the counties much of the expenditure represents costs of producing milk for vast numbers of absentee consumers whose rateable values bring nothing into the county exchequers concerned. This fresh expenditure was not provided for in the recent general \"block\" settlement with the counties, and without an equitable re-adjustment such as will secure the zeal of the local authorities, on whom the scheme depends for the executive work of the campaign, its success will be endangered.

In 1917 the federal government initiated a campaign for the eradication of tuberculosis from livestock in the United States. The tuberculosis eradication division of the Bureau of Animal Industry was then set up with a programme of—\n(1) the eradication of the disease from pure-bred herds of cattle;\n(2) the eradication of the disease among swine;\n(3) the eradication of the disease in circumscribed areas.\n\nIn 1928 two more items were added to this programme, namely—\n(4) the eradication of avian tuberculosis among fowls; and\n(5) the eradication of Johne's disease (which is also known as para-tuberculosis).\n\n12. Emphasis is placed upon the eradication of tuberculosis from pedigree cattle, as such cattle are particularly liable to be moved from one herd to another. The method of eradication is the periodic testing of the herd with tuberculin and the removal of reacting cattle. When two successive annual tests or three successive semi-annual tests are completed in any herd without the discovery of a reactor, the herd receives a certificate of freedom from tuberculosis from the state and federal authorities, which is valid for one year. Such herds are known as accredited herds. Owners entering the scheme sign an undertaking to co-operate with the authorities and agree to keep their herds for the purposes of dairying or breeding. Restrictions are placed upon the entry of animals into herds which either have received a certificate or are in process of qualifying for one. Broadly speaking, animals may not be introduced into such herds unless they originate from an accredited herd or are subjected to adequate isolation and testing.\n\n13. The area plan of eradication, which is not confined to pure-bred cattle, was first put into operation a few years after the accredited herd plan. The area for the purposes of the plan is generally a county, but may be a smaller unit, for example, a township. Testing under the scheme begins in any area when 90 per cent. of the owners of herds or the owners of 90 per cent. of the cattle in the area have agreed to co-operate with the authorities. When the testing of the herds of the voluntary entrants has been completed, and the reactors have been slaughtered, the movements of cattle which have not been tested are subjected to severe restrictions, the effect of which is to prohibit their removal from the premises on which they are situated. In this way recalcitrant owners are induced to co-operate. When the incidence of tuberculosis has been reduced to not more than one-half of one per cent., the area is declared to be a modified accredited area. A general retest of all cattle in such an area takes place every three years.\n\n14. The testing of cattle under both the accredited herd plan and under the accredited area plan is undertaken by veterinary officers of the federal or state government, or of the county in question. Animals reacting to the test are generally consigned to public stockyards for slaughter. Exceptional animals, however, and animals in heavily infected districts may sometimes be segregated from healthy stock, the former sometimes on farms set aside by the state government or by associations of pedigree cattle breeders. Compensation is paid for reacting cattle slaughtered. The actual terms of compensation vary, being determined by the different local regulations in force, but are in every case based upon a valuation of the animal before slaughter. The federal government makes a contribution to this compensation based upon the following rules:\n- (1) no payment shall exceed one-third of the difference between the appraised value of an animal and the salvage value;\n- (2) no payment shall exceed the amount paid or to be paid by the state, county or municipality;\n- (3) in no case shall any payment be more than 35 dollars for any grade animal, or more than 70 dollars for any pure-bred animal; and\n- (4) no payment shall be made unless the owner has complied with all lawful quarantine regulations.\n\nThe distribution of the loss occasioned by slaughter is of interest. The average valuation of all cattle slaughtered since 1919 has been 107.96 dollars, of which 30.78 dollars has been recovered from the sale of the carcase, leaving a net loss of 77.18 dollars. This has been borne in the following manner: by the state governments 31.99 dollars, by the federal government 20.42 dollars, leaving 24.77 dollars to be borne by the owner of the animal. At present, owing to the low price of cattle, the figures are very considerably less.\n\n15. Partly, no doubt, on account of the high compensation paid, but also as a result of the increasing insistence in municipal milk regulations on freedom from tuberculosis in herds supplying milk for urban consumption, eradication has made substantial progress in the United States. To-day, 1,577 counties out of a total of 3,073 are modified accredited areas, and over 34 million animals are under supervision by the tuberculosis eradication division. Six surveys of the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in the United States have been carried out by the Department of Agriculture, and these show a remarkable diminution in its incidence in recent years. The estimated percentage of cattle infected with tuberculosis has been as follows in the years named:\n1922 - 4.0\n1924 - 3.3\n1926 - 2.8\n1928 - 2.0\n1930 - 1.7\n1932 - 1.4\n\nIt is confidently anticipated that the operation of the measures now in force will reduce the incidence of the disease to a very low level and will prevent any danger of its subsequent recrudescence. These successful results have not been achieved without considerable expense.

Be sure that the tuberculin used is of assured potency and purity. Do not test the same cattle at shorter intervals than six months, except for a very special reason.\n\nAvoid testing with Johnin, or vaccinating against epizootic abortion, within two months of doing the next test with tuberculin.\n\nIf using the subcutaneous method, guard against the cattle being frightened or excited prior to or during the test, in order to avoid getting a misleading rise in temperature.\n\nWhen using the double intradermal test, inform the veterinary surgeon that your society insists on his using the following technique:\n\nThe test is carried out in two stages:\n1. A preliminary or sensitising injection.\n2. The test dose or diagnostic injection.\n\nThe tuberculin employed is \"old\" (\"concentrated\" \"undiluted\") tuberculin of known potency, or the new synthetic tuberculin prepared at the Institute of Animal Pathology, Cambridge, and not the dilute tuberculin employed for the subcutaneous test.\n\n## Technique\n\nAn area of from 2 to 6 square inches is prepared about the centre of the side of the neck by shaving or clipping. When many cows are being tested it is convenient to use the left side of one and the right of the other. A fold of skin is taken between the forefinger and thumb of the left hand, and a short strong steel dental needle, not less than 1 cm. in length, is introduced into the fold. It is desirable to insert the needle obliquely, so that the point reaches the deeper layers of the derma. A syringe of 10 cc. capacity, charged with tuberculin, is then attached to the needle, and 0.1 cc. of the tuberculin is injected. Considerable pressure is usually necessary, and if the injection is made easily it should be suspected that the needle has penetrated to the subcutaneous tissue. When the injection has been made correctly, the tuberculin is felt as a small pea-like enlargement when the fingers are passed lightly over the site. Failure to detect such an enlargement suggests that the tuberculin has been injected below the skin, and a second injection should be given in a fresh site. It is always advisable to ascertain that the syringe and needle are working efficiently. This may readily be done by charging the syringe with liquid, thrusting the needle into a piece of rubber and then forcibly compressing the piston. No fluid should escape either past the plunger or at the junction of the needle with the syringe.\n\nThe second or test dose is given 48 hours after the first or sensitising dose, and also consists of 0.1 cc. of tuberculin. It should be injected into exactly the same spot as the first or sensitising dose, that is, into about the centre of the swelling produced by that dose.\n\n## Observations and measurements\n\nAfter preparing the area, and before the first injection, the fold of skin is grasped between the forefinger and thumb of the left hand, and the thickness of the fold is measured by means of callipers. This measurement varies from 3 to 6 mm. in calves, from 4 to 10 mm. in cows and from 11 to 16 or more in bulls.\n\nAfter taking the preliminary measurement, the sensitising dose is injected.\n\nForty-eight hours later, the fold is again measured at the site of injection. In some tuberculous animals a definite reaction is obtained at this stage, so that a further dose is unnecessary, but, if the swelling is circumscribed, the second injection must be given.\n\nTwenty-four hours after this second or test dose has been injected, the area is again examined and measured. Non-tuberculous animals usually show little increase in thickness of the area. The actual site of injection remains as a sharply circumscribed pea or bean-like area devoid of diffuseness, heat or tenderness. In tuberculous animals the swellings exhibit varying degrees of diffuseness which may be accompanied by heat and tenderness.\n\nThis examination is the most important of all, as at this time a definite conclusion can be reached. The necessity for the second injection is now apparent, for it is frequently found that a certain proportion of animals which failed to react to the sensitising dose are now definitely positive. Particular attention should be paid to the character of the swelling, and the site of the injection should be carefully palpated in order to detect slight degrees of diffuseness which constitute a positive reaction. While the difference in the measurements of a small positive reaction and a non-reactor may be trifling, the character of the swelling is of the utmost importance. In tuberculous animals, the site, whatever the measurement may be, is ill-defined, soft or fluffy to the touch.\n\nIn the case of the Graded Herds, under the scheme of the Ministry of Health, it is necessary to record the measurement at each visit. It cannot be too clearly pointed out, however, that palpation of the area is of far greater diagnostic value than are measurements, and for ordinary purposes measurements may be omitted.\n\n## Summary of technique\n\n1. (a) Preliminary measurement of prepared fold of skin.\n(b) Injection into the derma of 0.1 cc. concentrated tuberculin.\n\nForty-eight hours later:\n2. (a) Measurement of site of injection, palpation and observation of the area.\n(b) Injection of second dose of 0.1 cc. in the same spot as the first.\n\nTwenty-four hours later:\n3. Final measurements and observations of the site of inoculation.\n\n## Abbreviations employed in recording the results\n\n| Abbreviation | Meaning |\n| --- | --- |\n| C.L. | Clean land. |\n| D | Diffuse. |\n| S.D. | Slightly diffuse. |\n| H | Heat. |\n| T | Tenderness. |\n| N.S.I | No second injection. |\n| R | Reactor. |\n| N | Non-reactor. |\n\nBefore beginning to segregate \"clean\" from infected cattle, insure that you have sufficient uninfected pasturage on to which to turn the \"clean\" cattle.

It is very desirable to segregate infected cattle in different buildings, if possible. If this is absolutely impossible, have a movable partition made of sheets of corrugated iron fixed on a wooden frame. It should be as high as possible. As the number of infected cows decreases, the partition can be moved along and the vacated stalls disinfected. There should be no door through the partition. The drainage should run from the clean cows past the infected, never vice versa. The same applies, of course, to the water supply.\n\nIt is essential for the non-reactors to be never allowed to drink water which can have been contaminated by any possibility by the reactors.\n\n## Calving infected cattle\n\nWhen a reacting cow or heifer calves, it should be arranged for the calf to be delivered direct on to a clean cloth or sheet and removed at once. It should be kept from all contact with its mother and from the soiled litter of her box. If the herd owner has had a non-reacting cow calve within 4 days, before or after, the calf from the reactor should be given some of the colostrum from that non-reacting cow in order that it may not miss entirely the natural aid to resistance to disease, especially of the alimentary tract, which it should have acquired through its own mother's first milk.\n\n## Rearing of calves\n\nIt cannot be impressed too strongly on herd owners the importance of rearing calves and young stock in airy and sunny surroundings, with ample nourishment and a clean dry bed. They are then much more likely to be resistant to any chance infection of tuberculosis or any other disease. They should never be given any milk from the reacting cows. If possible, the men attending the reactors should have nothing to do with the non-reactors and young stock. If this is impossible, then they should always milk and tend the reactors last.\n\nCare must be taken that calves are not fed on skim milk or whey from creameries and cheese factories, as, being from bulked milk, it is almost certain to contain tuberculosis.\n\n## Care of cattle at grass\n\nIt is essential that non-reactors should not be turned into fields recently used by reactors. In taking any steps to eradicate either tuberculosis, Johne's disease or abortion, it is of the first importance that animals should be prevented from contaminating the ponds and streams from which they drink with their fæces and urine. The water should be so fenced off that the cattle can only get their heads to it, or else the water pumped out into a tank. This applies especially to stagnant ponds. Owners should guard against infection from running water which may have come through an infected area. If the boundary fences are weak, or of such a nature as not to prevent contact with a neighbour's cattle, a second fence should be provided. A two-strand wire fence, under which sheep can go, at least 6 feet from main fence, is sufficient.\n\n## Importance of care\n\nThe above precautions may seem tiresome and expensive, but they are not nearly so much so as a reinfection after a herd has been nearly or completely cleared. To succeed (an even seriously infected herd can be cleared in 3 years), it is necessary to carry out the above instructions rigidly.\n\n## Disposal of reactors\n\nIf reactors are rigidly segregated from the clean cattle, there is no necessity to dispose of them, but in the case of cattle of no particular value to the herd it is much wiser to do so, as there is always the possibility of the disease becoming acute and of their becoming wasters.\n\nThe recommendations in this scheme have been drawn up with the best possible veterinary advice.\n\n## APPENDIX 13\n\n### Human and cow population and rateable value in Great Britain\n\n#### (a) Human and cow population and rateable value by counties in England and Wales\n\n| Administrative County.

Those which have been received are from Dr. L.H.D. Buxton, Professor J.Y.T. Greig, Mr. G.W. Rossetti and Mr. D.J. Sloss. Of these Dr. Buxton withdrew his candidature. Of the others Mr. Sloss and Mr. Rossetti were interviewed by a Selection Committee consisting of Mr. A. Mayhew, of the Colonial Office, Sir William Peel, Dr. T. Franklin Sibly, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Reading, and myself as Chairman. The Committee also considered the qualifications of Professor Greig and had the benefit of the advice of Dr. Sibly, who is personally acquainted with Professor Greig.\n\nAfter seeing Mr. Rossetti the Committee had no doubt that he was as yet too young for the appointment and that he might conceivably be ruining his whole career, which may be a brilliant one, by being appointed to this office. Mr. Sloss's record is set forth in the attached papers. I am forwarding with this copies of testimonials received from Professor O. Elton, Professor W.G. Fraser, Sir Benjamin Heald and Sir Hector Hetherington. The only doubt in the minds of the members of the Committee regarding Mr. Sloss's fitness for the appointment was his age, but when they interviewed him they were convinced that his mental and physical powers were such that he could well bear the burden of a five years' appointment at the University of Hong Kong. His brilliant administrative experience in Rangoon speaks for itself. He organised the whole University system and as Principal of University College, the larger of the two constituent Colleges of the University of Rangoon, he played a most prominent part in University life and administration. He was behind the scenes the virtual Vice-Chancellor, the actual Vice-Chancellor being a non-educationalist, generally a Judge of the High Court.

R. Wellington, C.M.G., Director of Medical Services, Hong Kong, will retire as from the 7th November, 1937, on attaining the age of sixty.\n\n2. Although I shall no longer be in my present appointment at that date, I feel it my duty to submit my opinion, with which Dr. Wellington agrees, that there is no officer of the Hong Kong Medical Services whom my successor would be in the least likely to find suitable to take Dr. Wellington's place. Deputy Director, Dr. D. J. Valentine, is a reliable and satisfactory Deputy and is well enough qualified, but he has not that drive and personality which I consider necessary for the administration and leadership of an important department. He would carry on the work but he could not carry it forward. Dr. J. T. Smalley has recently been passed over for the Deputy's post, and is already in his fifty-fifth year. Dr. G. W. Pope has in his present appointment of Health Officer reached the limit of his capacity, and below him come officers who are too junior for consideration in the present connection.\n\n3.

Equally important in Dr. Wellington's successor will be a patient attitude towards the Chinese treatment offered, alternatively to European treatment, in the Tung Wah Hospitals.\n\n4.

You stated in paragraph 2 of your despatch that you would prefer that such securities should be included in the Colony's statement of assets and liabilities. The securities so deposited consist of fixed deposits with local banks, British and other Government securities and mortgages on local property (mortgages will not be accepted in the future as new deposits, but those at present deposited will no doubt be continued to be so held for some years to come). Of these securities only the sums placed on fixed deposit with banks are at present included in the Colony's statement of assets and liabilities and it seems difficult to draw a logical distinction between these deposits and the Government securities and mortgages which are also deposited for precisely the same purposes under the local ordinances. The fixed deposits are not strictly deposits with Government in that the cash is\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nMALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,\n\n&c., &c., &c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 559057, "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": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "page_number": 15, "title": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "content_text": "15\n\n2\n\nnot at the disposal of the Government in the same way as are such cash deposits as, for example, securities which are lodged by public officers for the performance of official duties and which are at Government's disposal. The money is simply deposited with a bank and the Government does no more than hold the deposit receipt or a safe custody receipt as evidence that the deposit exists and as security that it cannot be disposed of without Government consent. Government securities and mortgages are of course in exactly the same position, that is, Government holds the documents as evidence of the existence of the assets but is not concerned with the income derived from them and has no right to dispose of them.\n\n2.\n\nThere appears, therefore, to be no valid distinction between these various kinds of security, and if the fixed deposits are to be included in the balance sheet it would seem reasonable that the others should be included also. The inclusion of investments and mortgages would, however, be highly inconvenient since their value naturally fluctuates year by year, and it would be necessary, for the purpose of showing them in the balance sheet, to make a more exact valuation than is now necessary merely for the purpose of verifying that the value is in excess of the fixed sum required by the local insurance law. It can, I think, be argued with considerable force that none of these assets are funds in the custody of the Government any more than are the securities deposited by the note-issuing banks (which are referred to by the Auditor in paragraph 4 of his report) and that therefore Colonial Regulation No.314 does not apply.\n\n3.\n\nI shall be glad of your directions, in the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 559058, "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": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "content_text": "16\n\nIn light of this explanation, as to whether the fixed deposits at present shown in the statement of assets and liabilities should be removed therefrom, the course recommended by the Accountant-General and the Auditor, or alternatively whether the other assets held as security deposited by insurance companies should in future, so far as this may be possible, be also included.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n\nAdd.

Subsequently necessity arose of effecting repair work to the Pineapple Pass Dam which has been the subject of separate correspondence and Mr. Hull agreed to accept responsibility for the supervision of that work, for which some of the plant in question was required. An unexpected difficulty also arose, owing to the extreme pressure on the available storage space in the Colony, in the actual physical taking over of the plant.\n\nThese factors caused delay in the transfer but the whole of the plant was taken over later in the year by the Controller of Stores. A number of small items have now been either sold by auction or taken into stock by the Public Works or Railway Departments and the remaining plant is in the custody of the Controller of Stores. Sales are still being made as opportunity offers but it is now anticipated that some of the plant may be required for new water works which are in contemplation.

The accounts of the Colony were closed about the end of February, 1938.\n\n3. The annual statements were received from the Accountant-General between the dates 23rd February, 1938, and the 22nd June, 1938. The Draft Appropriation Account (Detailed Statement of Expenditure) was received on the 12th July, 1938, and the Reconciliation Statement etc. of the Public Works Department was submitted on the 22nd June, 1938.\n\n4.

Subject to the comments contained in this report, and as far as has been ascertained at present, the existing regulations and accounting instructions appear to afford sufficient protection against fraud.\n\n11. In accordance with Colonial Regulation No. 300 a Board of Survey was appointed to check the cash, bank balances, and revenue stamps, in the hands of the Accountant-General at the end of the year, and these were reported as having been found correct.\n\nPost Office stocks were also surveyed by a Board at the close of the year, and no discrepancies were reported.\n\n12. With regard to the latter survey however it was brought to notice by audit that the Board had carried out a test survey only of certain portions of the stocks held by Counter Shroffs.

Expenditure on additional works to be charged to a Proposed New Loan.\n\nOn the 29th September, 1937 the Legislative Council passed a Resolution approving the carrying out of certain additional works at an estimated total cost of $3,396,000 of which $176,000 would be chargeable to the accounts of the current year. It was agreed that the expenditure should in the first instance be charged as advances from the Colony's Surplus Funds pending the raising of a loan. The Secretary of State's approval for the above was obtained vide his telegram No. 280 of 24th December, 1937.\n\n29. The actual expenditure to the 31st December, 1937, on these works was $56,783.30.\n\nE. AUTHORITIES FOR EXPENDITURE 1936.\n\n30. Recurrent.-Notice of non-disallowance of the Supplementary Appropriation Ordinance in respect of expenditure for the year 1936 (Ordinance No. 10 of 1937) was published vide Government Notice No. 787 in Gazette No. 52 of 5th November, 1937.\n\n31. Loan Expenditure.\n\nAn excess expenditure of $239,103.69 in 1936 on Head 2, Shing Mun Valley Water Scheme b (3) Gorge Dam, which was reported by the Director of Colonial Audit to the Secretary of State as not having been authorized by the Legislature, has now received the covering approval of that body by a Resolution on 7th July, 1938.\n\n32. All 1936 expenditure is therefore now covered by the requisite authorities.\n\nF.-COLLECTION OF REVENUE.\n\n33. As far as has been ascertained the systems employed for the collection of revenue have proved generally to be satisfactory, and moneys becoming due to Government are being promptly and efficiently collected.\n\nAppendix “C”\n\nA (2) 7\n\n34. Royalties payable by Transport Companies.\n\nHead 9. Miscellaneous Receipts. Under Licences issued by Government to certain private Transport Companies, royalties or percentages become payable, which are based upon the gross annual receipts of the companies concerned. For the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the payments made, monthly statements of gross receipts and royalty payments, each certified by a firm of Auditors approved by Government, are submitted to the Accountant-General.\n\n35. For a considerable time, however, the Auditor's certificates in respect of the returns rendered by one Company have been qualified owing to the non-production for audit of essential book of account viz. a Cash Book. The matter is receiving the attention of Government.\n\n36. Arrears of Revenue.\n\nAccording to returns rendered by Departments, the total arrears of revenue, as at 31st December, 1937, amounted to $302,635.71 of which $291,550.22 was collected by the 31st March, 1938. The previous years' figures were $676,542.43 and $513,126.93 respectively. The 1937 figures therefore show a substantial improvement when compared with those for 1936.\n\n37. Of the 1937 arrears the sum of $3,599.52 has been either written off or cancelled, leaving a balance outstanding as at 31st March, 1938 of only $7,485.97, as against $53,571.42 at the same date last year.\n\n38. A detailed statement, showing the arrears of each class of revenue as at 31st December, 1937, and the 31st March, 1938 respectively, appears as Appendix C to this report.\n\n39. 'Writing off\" of Revenue.\n\nUnder General Order 296 (2) the Treasurer is authorized to write off arrears of revenue not exceeding $50 in each case, but it has been brought to notice by Audit that hospital fees, and in some instances fines, have been written off by the officers responsible for their collection; and that the requisite authority for this could not be traced. The matter has now been referred to the Secretary of State.\n\nG. EXPENDITURE.\n\n40. The control over expenditure appears generally to be satisfactory. It was however necessary on one occasion, for audit to bring to notice that the estimated provision for the cost of postage stamps had been considerably exceeded, and, contrary to the provisions of Colonial Regulation No. 265 (b), it was not until several months after the excess expenditure had been included in the accounts that steps were taken to obtain the\n\n34\n\nPage 30\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 559073, "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": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "page_number": 31, "title": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "content_text": "35\n\n36\n\n- A (2) 8\n\nrequisite sanction for it. The explanation given was that the application for a supplementary vote had been postponed until the exact amount of the final excess could be more accurately ascertained, but that in future more prompt action would be taken to obtain sanction for an excess over any sum voted by the Legislature.\n\n41. A Circular (No. 3 of 11th January, 1938) has recently been issued by Government, regarding the control of expenditure, which \"inter alia\" draws the attention of Heads of Departments to the necessity for obtaining prior approval for all expenditure, and also prohibits them, without first obtaining approval, from entering into any commitment which may be likely to cause an immediate or future excess on a vote having regard to the expenditure that would normally have to be met from it.\n\n42. Awards of Pensions and Gratuities.\n\nThe calculations of awards of Civil and Police Pensions and Gratuities made under the laws of the Colony, and also Pensions payable under the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Ordinance (No. 15 of 1908) have been verified by Audit.\n\n43. Losses of Public Money.\n\nThe following losses of Public Money were reported during the year:-\n\n(1) Loss by robbery of a bag containing cash and cheques intended for the payment of salaries of the staff of the Victoria Hospital. The Secretary of State approved of the write off of the cash loss viz. $1,074.30.\n\n(2) The sum of $358.74 was found missing from the safe of a Shroff employed in the Public Works Department. The amount of the shortage was transferred from the Shroff's deposit account, and Government agreed that the resulting deficiency in his security should be restored by means of contributions from salary at the rate of $30.00 a month.

The frauds were reported to the Secretary of State who gave his approval for the \"write off\" (vide C. O. Despatch No. 455 of 29.4.37). This fraud is also referred to in paragraph 36 of the 1936 Audit Report.\n\nA (2) 9\n\n44. Expenditure on Secret Service.\n\nIn accordance with instructions issued by the Governor, to which the Acting Auditor raised no objection, expenditure under Head 20. Sub-head 28-Secret Service\" is now being accepted on the certificate of the Commissioner of Police.\n\n45. Military Contribution.\n\nThe amount payable to the Military Authorities under Ordinances No. 1 of 1901 and 43 of 1935 has been verified by Audit, a statement showing how the amount is arrived at is attached (Enclosure N.). The assessment for the year 1937 is $5,062,767.81 as compared with $5,166,629.38 for the previous year.\n\n46. Public Debt.\n\nH. LOAN ACCOUNTS.\n\nThe Public Debt of the Colony as at 31st December, 1937, amounted to $17,158,000.\n\n47. The 4% Conversion Bonds (Ordinance No. 15 of 1933) amounted to $4,838,000 while the market value of the investments of the accumulated Sinking Fund at the end of the year totalled £54,825-6-11d. The Sinking Fund accounts maintained locally have been checked with the accounts rendered by the Crown Agents.\n\n48. The amount outstanding on account of the Hong Kong 8% Dollar Loan raised under Ordinance No. 11 of 1934 was reduced to $12,320,000; Bonds to the value of $560,000 having been redeemed during the year in accordance with Section 5 of the Ordinance.\n\n49. The cancelled bonds and interest coupons due to the redemption were checked by the Audit Department, while the interest paid to Bond-holders was supported by the Surrendered Coupons which were forwarded for Audit.\n\n50. Shing Mun Valley Water Scheme.\n\nThe $50,000 Imprest which had been issued to the Resident Engineer, and which was referred to in paragraph 26 of the Audit Report for 1936, was closed on the 1st April, 1937, and thereafter all payments that became necessary were made by the Treasurer.\n\n51. The manner in which the Construction Plant and surplus stores, which had been purchased for the scheme, were handled, rather than being disposed of after its completion, has on more than one occasion been the subject of adverse comment by Audit. It was contended by this department that, on the completion of the works, all the plant and stores should have been taken over.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 559074, "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": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "page_number": 32, "title": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "content_text": "37\n\n—\n\nA (2) 10\n\nimmediately by the Public Works Department, and that that Department should have assumed complete responsibility for their custody and the accounting for receipts from sales.\n\n52. Further, the arrangement which permitted the Resident Engineer to dispose of the plant, which was of considerable value, on a commission basis, and without requiring any Government department to exercise supervision and control over the matter, is, in the opinion of Audit, open to objection. It is also contrary to the usual Government method of disposal of surplus stores. It must also be noted that after the scheme had been completed, the Resident Engineer could in no sense be considered a Government official.\n\n53. The apparent failure to issue in the first instance any special instructions regarding the method of accounting for moneys received from sales was unfortunate. That definite accounting instructions were necessary, and close supervision was desirable, became evident after certain accounting irregularities regarding the disposal of proceeds of the sales of plant had been accidentally disclosed during an audit of the Imprest Account.\n\n54. The first move in the taking over of the plant by Government was apparently made in January of the present year, when Audit was informed that it would be transferred to the Public Works Department, but that the Resident Engineer would retain first call on it for remedial work which it had been found necessary to undertake at the Pineapple Pass Dam. It was also stated that he would continue to have the right to sell plant on commission, provided that no sales at less than catalogue prices were effected without Government approval.\n\n55. At a later date, however, Government for various reasons considered it advisable to defer its transfer to the Public Works Department.\n\n56. A question regarding the apparent non-payment of hire charges for a derrick forming part of the Shing Mun plant, which it appears was loaned some time ago by the Resident Engineer to a private company, has not yet been explained to the satisfaction of Audit.\n\n57.\n\n1.—STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES.\n\nThe excess of Assets over liabilities at the 31st December, 1937 was .$ 14,002,278.11 As compared with at the end of the previous year 12,917,132.29 Showing an increase of .$ 1,085,145.82\n\n58.

Verification of Cash Balances etc.\n\n(a) Bank Certificates have been produced in support of the balances of the various Bank Accounts, but no Cash Certificates other than those rendered by the Heads of the departments concerned have been seen for the Cash Balances held in the offices of the last three departments mentioned in the previous paragraph. The reason for this is that Boards had not been appointed to survey the cash of these departments at the close of the year.\n\n(b) In the case of the Accountant-General's department, the Members of the Board appointed to survey the balances omitted to record, on the certificate rendered, the amount of cash found, although they reported it correct.\n\n60. The existence of the Cash Balances and Sinking Fund Investments etc. held by the Crown Agents has been verified with the certified statement received from the Comptroller and Auditor-General.\n\n61. Fixed Deposits.\n\nThe receipts obtained from the Banks for amounts appearing under this head have been examined by Audit.\n\n62. Advances Miscellaneous. ($220,148.51).\n\nThis shows an increase of $145,703.05 over the 1936 figures, the difference being more than accounted for by the sum of $154,450.24, which is shown as outstanding under the heading \"Shanghai Refugee Committee.\" There is, however, a sum of $14,117.37, being recoveries from Refugees, which appears in the Colony's accounts as a \"Deposit\" and therefore may be set off against the above advance account. The net sum advanced on behalf of Shanghai Refugees is recoverable from the Imperial Government.\n\n63. It has been verified that no advances have been outstanding for an unduly long period.

The balance of this account at the end of the previous year was $846,060.70. The greater part of the reduction is due to the repayment of a loan of $500,000.\n\n66. Trade Loan Outstanding ($295,493.00).\n\nA statement (Enclosure M) giving details of the Trade Loans outstanding as at 31st December, 1937 is attached. These Loans are secured by mortgages to Government, but it will be observed that the total amount of the unpaid loans is more than covered by the Trade Loan Reserve. The latter amounted to $336,689.27 on the same date, although the sum of $500,000 was transferred from Reserve to Revenue (Head 9 Miscellaneous Receipts) in June, 1937, as provided for in the 1937 Estimates. Reference to a proposed transfer from Trade Loan Reserves was made in paragraph 11 of the 1935 Audit Report and is also dealt with in the Director of Colonial Audit's letter No. 3458/1 of 22.10.37. The amount of Trade Loan interest outstanding on 31st December, 1937 was $110,548.69 as compared with $112,748.69 at the end of the previous year.\n\n67. Unallocated Stores (P.W.D.)

This statement, and also the Stock Sheets, have been verified by Audit.\n\n68. Maximum balance of Public Work Department Stock. In a despatch, No. 113 of 17th March, 1937, the Secretary of State approved of a sum of $700,000 being fixed for the year 1937 as the standard stock of the Public Works Department, other than for stores allocated for particular works.\n\n69. Unallocated Stores (Railway) ($121,552.45).\n\nThe maximum standard stock fixed for the Kowloon-Canton Railway (British Section) is $175,000 (Secretary of State's despatch No. 255 of 30th June, 1933) and this figure was not exceeded in 1937.

The sum mentioned above represents merely the value of Fixed Deposit receipts so lodged, and appears on both sides of the Colony's Balance Sheet, but it is doubtful whether this inclusion is really necessary.

The Treasurer replied that this would be done.\n\n76. Praya East Reclamation ($108,280.35).\n\nThis liability represents the cost of work still to be completed.\n\n77. Exchange Adjustment.

It represents the difference between the cost price of sums placed in the Joint Colonial Fund and on an imprest of £150 held in Australia, and the December Exchange Rate.\n\nJ.-STORES ACCOUNTS.\n\n78. Manner in which the accounts have been kept.\n\nThe stores accounts of the Colony have generally been kept in a satisfactory manner and call for little comment.\n\n79. Boards of Survey.\n\nIn accordance with Colonial Regulation 344, the usual Annual Boards of Survey were held after the close of the year to inspect and report on all Government Stores. No major discrepancies were reported.\n\n80. Losses of Stores by theft.\n\nA number of cases were reported during the year in which small items of Government property had been lost by theft. Where it was considered the persons responsible for their custody had taken insufficient care to prevent such losses, their salaries were surcharged.\n\n81.

A recent inquiry into the system in force revealed it to be most cumbersome and unsatisfactory, and it was also found that the records kept by the Apothecary in respect of drugs received by him for compounding mixtures etc. were found to be quite inadequate to ensure proper control, or to allow of a satisfactory check being made by audit. These stores accounts were also referred to in paragraph 44 of the Audit Report for the year 1936.\n\n82. Draft regulations for the medical store, intended to improve the existing system of accounting and to provide for better control, have been drawn up by the Auditor. The department concerned is giving the matter suitable attention.\n\n83. Local Purchases of Drugs, etc.\n\nIt would appear also that the quantity of drugs etc. purchased locally is unnecessarily large and that local purchases might be reduced considerably by means of better organisation.\n\n84. Local Purchases of Motor Vehicles.\n\nThe necessity for the local purchase of a motor vehicle for the Hong Kong Volunteer Force was questioned by Audit.\n\nAs a question of principle was involved the matter was referred to the Colonial Office, and after further correspondence on the subject the Secretary of State laid down conditions under which local purchases would be permitted, but stipulated that in all cases a tender should in the first instance be called for from the Crown Agents.\n\nK. GENERAL\n\n85. Exchange Fund Accounts.\n\nThese accounts have been examined by the Audit Department to the 31st December, 1937, the results being entirely satisfactory. The Balance Sheet as at that date has been transmitted by Government to the Secretary of State.\n\n86. At the end of the year Certificates of Indebtedness amounted to $182,319,502, which is equivalent to £11,394,969 at the rate of 1s. 3d. to the Hong Kong Dollar. The total assets of the Fund at the same date amounted to £12,313,938-12-4d., which was composed of cash, placed on deposit in London at call or short notice, totalling £4,493,605-1-7d. (36.5% of the total) and Investments valued at £7,820,333-10-9d. (63.5%).\n\n87. The existence of the above assets has been verified by the Controller and Auditor General whose certificate has been examined by audit and agreed with the local records.\n\n88. Currency Accounts.\n\nThe accounts and records maintained in connection with the issue of Currency Notes (authorized under Ord. 42 of 1935) and Nickel and Subsidiary coinage have been subjected to audit by this Department.\n\nA (2) 17\n\n89. In accordance with Colonial Office despatch of 16th December, 1936 draft Currency Rules were drawn up and submitted to the Secretary of State for approval vide Hong Kong despatch No. 762 of 22nd December, 1937. These Rules were considered by the Secretary of State to be generally satisfactory, but certain points of detail have yet to be settled.\n\n90. The destruction of Currency Notes, which is carried out by a Board of Officers specially appointed for that purpose, was usually witnessed also by a member of the Audit Department.\n\n91. Official Trustee's Accounts.\n\nIn order to remedy what Audit considered to be a long-standing accounting defect in the books of the Official Trustee, new ledger accounts of Trusts were opened and an Investment ledger was introduced as from the beginning of the year.\n\n92. China Company Fees.\n\nA local audit examination of the Registrar of Companies Accounts at Shanghai covering the period July 1936-April, 1938 has recently been carried out. The net revenue accruing from this source, exclusive of the revenue derived from Stamp fees, for the year amounted to $165,703, as compared with $170,966 for the previous year. No Audit Officer visited Shanghai during 1937 owing to difficult conditions prevailing there at that time.\n\n93. Hospital Fee Deposits.\n\nAn improved procedure for the accounting of deposits on account of Hospital fees has recently been introduced.\n\n94. Programme of Work.\n\nWith the exception of the final Division Sheets of the Kowloon-Canton Railway for the last quarter of 1937 and a few minor Post Office accounts, all of which are not yet available for audit, the Programme of Work as approved by the Director of Colonial Audit has been completed. There has been no material departure from the approved Programme.\n\n95. Local Audit Inspections.\n\nIn addition to the routine examinations of accounts (including store accounts) at departmental headquarters, a surprise inspection has been made of cash balances and stamp stocks etc. at all Government offices in the Colony.\n\n96. A continuous audit has been maintained on the accounts of the Railway, Harbour Master, Imports and Exports Department, and the Public Works Department (Unallocated Stores), as well as on the accounts of the Accountant-General.\n\n44", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 559078, "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": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "page_number": 36, "title": "CO129-568-7 Report to Director of Colonial Audit- 1937- queries and correspondence 24-10-1938 - 13-7-1939", "content_text": "45\n\nA (2) 18.\n\n97. Post Office-Specimen Stamps.\n\nSpecimen postage stamps of British possessions and of foreign countries belonging to the Postal Union, which are sent to the Postmaster-General from time to time by the authorities at Berne, have now been classified and mounted in albums. In accordance with instructions from the Director of Colonial Audit these stamps and albums will be subjected to audit examination.\n\nL. OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS ON 1936 REPORT.\n\nnon-\n\n98. Estate Duty. With reference to paragraph 37 of the 1936 Audit Report, regarding acquisition by Government of a property in lieu of payment of Estate Duty and the recording of the transaction in the Colony's accounts, it appears that no progress has been made with regard to the sale of the property in question. The assessed duty on the estate amounted to $20,384 and the corresponding revenue head has not yet received credit for this sum. The matter has again been brought to the notice of Government.\n\n99. Suspense Accounts. Shing Mun Locomotives.\n\nThe detailed statement of Suspense accounts as at the 31st December, 1936 which was submitted with the Audit Report for the year 1936, included a Debit balance of $609.62 in respect of the above. This represented expenditure held in Suspense incurred in reconditioning locomotives, ex Shing Mun plant, which were taken over by the Railway. The account was adjusted in January 1937, the Resident Engineer in charge of the scheme accepting the debit.\n\n100. Audit Report 1936.\n\nThe Audit Report for the year 1936 was laid before the Legislature on the 15th December, 1937.\n\n101. Outstanding questions not affecting the accounts.\n\nThere are no outstanding questions of importance, other than those mentioned in the report, which do not affect the accuracy of the accounts.\n\n102. Kowloon-Canton Railway.\n\nA copy of the Manager's report for 1937 of the British Section of the Kowloon Canton Railway which was received by Auditor on 28th July, 1938, is forwarded (Enclosure R.). The accounts have been regularly rendered and satisfactorily kept.\n\n103. The final division sheets of Through and Joint Sectional Traffic Receipts have been audited to the end of September, 1937. These have been accepted by both administrations.\n\nA (2) 19\n\n104. The October Division Sheets have only recently been received from Canton and have therefore not yet been submitted for audit, while those for November and December have not yet been received. The delay in rendering these statements can be attributed to the difficulties which have to be contended with by the Cantonese Authorities.\n\n105. Surveys of the Cash Balances etc. at the Railway Head Office, Railway Stations, and Stores, were made during the year and call for no comment.\n\n106. It was brought to notice by Audit that in some cases money owing to the Railway had been treated as revenue as soon as it had been earned, but in other cases it had not been treated as revenue until collected. It has now been agreed that all revenue will be credited in the Railway ledgers when earned, thus enabling a complete reconciliation to be made with cash payments and amounts outstanding.\n\n107. The net profit on the Operating Account of the Railway for the year was $436,935.30 while that for the previous year amounted to $454,733.00. This shows a reduction of $17,798.00 as compared with 1936, but is due to the fact that $80,883.12, being the extent of the damage caused to the Railway by the Typhoon of September 1937, was charged to the Operating Account of the year 1937.\n\nO. MISCELLANEOUS.\n\n108. New Form of Colonial Accounts.\n\nThe new system of Colonial Government Accounting as described in Colonial Circular despatch of 25th November, 1937, has not yet been adopted by the Hong Kong Government. It is understood that the matter is under correspondence with the Secretary of State.\n\n109. Staff.\n\nMr. P. L. Collisson, O.B.E. Auditor proceeded on leave on 20th March, 1937, and retired on pension as from 26th November, 1937.\n\nMr. T. Dan, acted as Auditor from 20th March, 1937 to 26th April, 1938.\n\n28th July, 1938.\n\nA.

Pending notification of any general revision of Colonial Regulations on this point no attempt has yet been made to allocate between the Financial Secretary and the Accountant-General the responsibilities placed upon the Treasurer by the existing General Orders.\n\nParagraph 82(4). I would refer to correspondence ending with your despatch No. `283` of 28th July last. This requested further particulars which are being obtained and will, it is hoped, be forwarded at an early date. I would add that Mr. R.G. Witchell returned to the Colony under a Canadian deportation order on 2nd June last. He was arrested and charged on six counts of which copies are attached. He pleaded guilty on all counts and on 17th June was sentenced to six months' imprisonment on each count the sentences to run concurrently.\n\nParagraph 117. The remaining Shing Hun plant referred to was transferred to the Stores Department in April last with a view to sale. $37,250, about one sixth of the estimated value, has been realised on sales to date. It is now expected that owing to the emergency situation a considerable part may be used by Government in lieu of purchasing new goods.\n\nParagraph 118. By a Colonial Secretary's Office circular of 4th February, 1939, the sale generally by Government of petrol to Government officers was restricted to two Government pumps. Apart from these, officers of the Police, Fire Brigade and Prisons Departments are permitted to buy petrol from certain other Government pumps. The whole question is, however, being reviewed again.\n\nParagraph 119. The revision of log books and requisition forms for cars with a view to more complete detail is in hand and revised copies will be put into use shortly. Heads of Departments have been instructed to see that in future complete data are supplied by the officers concerned.\n\nParagraph 120. On June 13th last instructions were issued to Heads of Departments that officers in receipt of conveyance allowances were not to use Government cars within/areas for which their conveyance allowances were intended unless no public vehicle was available.\n\nParagraph 126.

In future, no charges will be debited to this sub-head of expenditure without specific approval of Government obtained in advance.\n\nParagraph 141. The matter has been carefully investigated by the Financial Secretary and by the Registrar of Companies, Hong Kong, who advise that the grant of both reliefs to a single company is not improper, the refund of capital fees being properly made to private companies notwithstanding that the further relief under section 352(5) of the Companies Ordinance applies to private companies only.

It was decided that this need not be referred to the A.C.E.C., and I am afraid I have told them so. They must now push forward for some time.\n\nLet us wait for their comments on the two revised Codes and points raised. I should be grateful if the rector's explanatory notes and copies of the Codes could be sent to them.\n\nThe Govt's despatch tells us nothing except that the Grant Code is the result of prolonged discussions in which the framework of the W. K. educational system is outlined. The structure can be pieced together from the Colonial Yearbook. The Govt took an active part in the discussions.\n\nThe revision is extremely generous, especially with regard to Grants-in-Aid, as was contemplated, since ACEC warned that apparently nothing will be put into current recurrent revenue except from fees and from Govt; and the principal fear is lest Govt, having done this, find it needs money for financing projects of its own, which will then not be available. But H.K. is wealthy and has presumably thought of this.\n\nWe must find out what is going to happen to the presumably substantial contribution likely to be made by the authorities owning the Grant Schools, i.e., the vernacular primary schools (as opposed to the \"English\" secondary and primary schools and the vernacular secondary schools), which must deviously be poorer but don't get such generous treatment.\n\nCul C.\n\n27.4.41\n\nPage 10\n\n## Mr. Cox, \n\nI have scrutinized the revised Grant and Subsidy Codes for Hong Kong in the light of the Director's Memorandum, the Annual Report for the year 1938, and the A.C.E.C's Memorandum on Educational Grants-in-Aid.\n\nThe new proposals are far-reaching and munificent: as the Director states, they provide more generous assistance than that contemplated in the Advisory Committee's Memorandum. Both Codes are clearly the result of careful thought and planning, and it is scarcely conceivable that the Government of Hong Kong can be unaware of their financial implications. Indeed, it is specifically stated that an immediate increase of approximately 60% in annual recurrent grants is contemplated.\n\nThe Grant Code applies to \"English\" Schools which provide a five-year course. Pupils entering such schools have usually completed at least four years' schooling at a Chinese School first. Besides the seven \"English\" schools conducted by Government, there were, in 1938, seven Grant-in-Aid \"English\" schools which, with one exception, were managed by Missions; these latter had both primary and secondary classes providing, in all, an eight-year course. Under the existing system, grants are paid on a capitation basis, each school receiving $40 per pupil annually. There were also 133 private \"English\" schools at the end of 1938, and it may be inferred that most, if not all, of these are maintained for private profit and thus ineligible for admission to a grant-in-aid system.\n\nThe proposed Code also applies to Higher Grade Vernacular Schools approved by the Director. So far as can be judged from the 1938 Report, very few institutions are likely to be affected. These may include Vernacular Middle Schools, of which six received a subsidy in 1938.\n\nThe Grant Code provides for recurrent grants, contributions to provident or superannuation funds, and capital grants. Section 5 sets out the considerations which will guide the Director in recommending to Government what grants shall be paid. The proviso states that nothing shall limit the Director's power to withdraw or reduce grants under Section 28. Such power may be exercised only after two warnings have been given over a period of two years.\n\nSections 7-28 refer to the mode of assessment. Recurrent Grants are to be determined for a triennium in advance and are to be assessed on the estimated difference between approved expenditure (which may include salaries, passages, rent, and other charges) and income from school fees.\n\nSection 7 suggests that, apart from the powers conferred in Section 28, the Director cannot vary the amount of grant payable during the triennium.\n\nThe salaries payable to European and non-European staff are carefully presented, clearly with due regard to local conditions. I do not quite understand why it is optional and appears to be designed to meet scruples. Some religious bodies may feel at drawing a \"colour bar\" between their members.\n\nPage 10\nPage 11\n\n`LBA 7.13/6`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-586-3 Grant of subsidies to vernacular schools 4-6-1940 - 7-8-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 571528, "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": "CO129-586-8 War Taxation 2-2-1940 - 11-5-1940", "page_number": 2, "title": "CO129-586-8 War Taxation 2-2-1940 - 11-5-1940", "content_text": "## \n1. 20 A.4.

Quite naturally they want to know why the University has not yet been re-opened and what is proposed as to its future.\n\nPerusal of the Committee's Report would reassure them and the explanation that the Report must be regarded as confidential and that it is still under consideration by H.M.G. would explain the present situation to them.

Sir Richard Needham has for some years past inspected the Hong Kong Medical School on behalf of the G.M.C.

The question does not, however, arise, because I understand from conversations with Dr. Ride that the University would either reduce its commitments to keep inside the limits of available funds, or meet the excess from other funds at its disposal.\n\n/A", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-625-4 Hong Kong University- rehabilitation (1951) 1-12-1950 - 30-11-1951.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 598036, "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": "CO129-625-4 Hong Kong University- rehabilitation (1951) 1-12-1950 - 30-11-1951", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-625-4 Hong Kong University- rehabilitation (1951) 1-12-1950 - 30-11-1951", "content_text": "A point to which the Inter-University Council has called Sir Hector Hetherington's attention, is that the estimates are necessarily provisional at this stage, and with prices rising the proposals can be regarded only as tentative ones. It might be wise to refer to this in the memorandum so that the University is allowed a considerable measure of freedom within the terms of the scheme.\n\nGvard Bran\n\n(Walter Adams)\n\n9/7/51\n\nI discussed this briefly with Dr Ride on the 6th July & he inferred that the University was not asking for more than £400,000 in total, including the £100,000 already granted. Any excess would be met by the University ~ the schemes modified to keep within the limits of available funds. I have therefore included this in the memo, also the point about C.U.G.A.C approval & the proposals being tentative, made in Mr Adams' minute.\n\n10/9\n\nActually I have no comments to offer on the terms of the draft memorandum or on the estimates submitted by the Hong Kong University. I think however that I should point out that there is likely to be some slight difficulty with regard to the provision made in the Vote for C. & M.E.S. if the estimates submitted by the University are strictly adhered to.\n\nFor example, the requirement from this source for 1950/51 is shown as £87,926. We issued only £50,000 from the 1950/51 provision so that if that expenditure is realised the University will be short by £37,926 of its actual requirements to 31st March 1951. Similarly in 1951/52 we have provided a grant of £150,000 against which the University anticipates spending £147,668. This is £2,332 less than provided and this sum could be utilised towards making good the balance under an issue in 1950/51. There will however still be a deficit of £35,594 in the requirement up to the 31st March 1952, and I am afraid that there is little that we can do about this at this stage. It would be quite impossible to make a supplementary provision within the current financial year to meet the requirements, and the University will therefore have to wait until 1952/53 for the issue of any sum justified by expenditure in excess of the provision of £200,000 which we have made up to that date. In other words, the provision in 1952/53 will have to be for the balance of £50,000 of the £250,000 granted but this will have to be utilised mainly to cover the likely under-issue in 1950/51 and 1951/52.

On behalf of the Colonial University Grants Advisory Committee he advises that the proposals be accepted and the necessary action be taken to make the grants available. In view of rapidly changing prices, he recommends that the provisional estimates accompanying the proposals should not be regarded as binding limitations and that the University should be granted a considerable measure of freedom to alter the proposals and plans within the scheme, provided that the grants are used to achieve the general programme of capital development submitted.\n\nJan Juan\n(Walter Adams)\nSecretary", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-625-4 Hong Kong University- rehabilitation (1951) 1-12-1950 - 30-11-1951.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
