Ordinance 4 of 1897 provides for the registration of children duly certified to be insusceptible of successful vaccination.
TUNG WA HOSPITAL.
The changes introduced into the Tung Wa Hospital, to which reference was made in the last annual report of this Department, have resultel in greatly improving that Institution. This improvement has been frequently commented on by the Visiting Justices of the Peace. There is, however, still room for further improvement which there is every reason to believe will be effected by the Directors of the Hospital without unnecessary delay.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
His Excellency
THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMNNT.
