NEW CENTRAL BRITISH SCHOOL

In regard to the new Central British School, this seems" a con- venient point to interpose some words of criticism.

On the 22nd September, 1932, in the debate on the Budget for 1933 (see Hong Kong Hansard for 1932, st page 154) the then Acting Colonial Secretary, the Honourable Mr.. E. R. Hallifax, said:

The Government has select- ed the Government Civil Bos- pital, the Central British School and the Kowloon Hospital as the objects on which attention should most immediately be concentrat-

ed."

The results of that concentration as regards the site for the new Central British School have been particularly disappointing.

*MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

We regret to learn from the Honourable. Colonial Secretary's Speech, that it has been thought necessary to prune so excessively the Medical Department Estimates. and in particular we regret that the Dispensary Launch and the additional Sister for Public Health work, and the Staff of four Chiness Health Nurses to make a start with health visiting and instruction, have been abandoned.

But, in particular, we regret the parsimony which is apparently be- ing practised in regard to the ex- penditure on the Malaria Bureau.

so far as we can ascertain (from page 61 of the Estimates) there is only one triffing small item of additional expenditure Malaria-Start, namely 1 Probationer for the Inspector with a salary of $525 per

annum.

Our chief cause for anxiety in this, connection, which is based upon reports from time to time leaking through, is the apparently considerable rate of sickness from malaria amongst the coolies work- ing. In the, Shing Mun Valley.

As regards the new Government. House and City Development, the Unoticials approve generally of the proposed scheme but would venture to advocate

AUDITOR'S REPORT.

The Acting Auditor's Report for 1932 (in addition to raising some points of technical accounting) mentions two points upon which we feel bound to comment specifical-
