PO LEUNG KUK'S NEW

ENTERPRISE.

HON. MR. HALLIFAX LAYS FOUNDATION STONE CF NEW BUILDING

SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR THE FUTURE

The Hon. Mr. E. R. Hallifax, C.M.G., C.B.E., Secretary for Chinese Affairs, yesterday laid the foundation stone of a new block of buildings which is in course of erection on the old site of the Po Leung Kuk, near the Tung Wab Hospital.

It is understood that the new building, when completed, will be let out as shops and residences and that the rent collected in this manner will be devoted to the Po Leung Kuk, whose expen- diture in recent years, has grown enormously. Part of the new building will be used as quarters for aures employed at the Tung Wah Hospital.

There was a very large gathering at the ceremony, over which Mr. Chan Lim Pak presided. Others present included the three Chinese members of the Legislative Council, Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, CM.G., Hon. Dr. 8. W. To, Q.B., and Ron. Mr. T. N. Chau, Mr. Ho Kom Tong, O.B.E. Mr. M. K. Lo,. Mr. Li Yau Tsun and Mr. Leung Pat Yue.

After the Hon. Mr. Hallifax had declared the foundation stone "well and truly laid" he was presented with the silver trowel and blackwood mallet with which he had performed the ceremony. The party then adjourned to the main hall of the Tang Wah Hospital where tea was served.
