GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Report from the Superintendent of the Hongkong Fire Brigade, is published for general information.

JA

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th January, 1874.

No. 1.

J. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.

FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 6th January, 1874.

SIR,I have the honor to lay before you, for submission to His Excellency the Governor, the Report of the Fire Brigade for the Months of November and December, 1873.

Owing to the Fire at the Coal godowns of the "Messageries Maritimes Company" at Praya East, on the 3rd and 4th November, that at No. 1, Hillier Street, on the 5th November, and that at 218, Queen's Road West, on the 15th November, (each of which was the subject of a special Report), the usual parade and inspection in the middle of the Month of November was not held.

An inspection of the Steam and Hand Engines, Hose, Fire-escape Ladders, and Material generally, was made on the 2nd December, all were found clean and in order. The Hand Engines were worked for a few minutes from the Hydrants near the Cross Roads.

A parade and inspection was held on the 18th December. As it is not desirable to trench without necessity upon the Pokfoolum water supply, the Steam and Hand Engines were all worked from the sea near the Canton Steamers' Wharf, and found to be in good order. The Government Engines and the Engines owned by Chinese Associations, were present.

An inspection of the Government Brigade, Engines, Hose, Ladders and Implements, was made on the 31st December, all were found in good order.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honorable J. GARDINER AUSTIN,

Colonial Secretary,

HONGKONG.

C. MAY, Superintendent Fire Brigade.
