Sheuson also congratulated the Directors for their courage effecting the much needed reor- ganisation of the Hospitals' work, adding that it was fortunate for tho Chinese community that among the now Virectors a meat distinguished group of experienc- ad public workers, such as Mr. Pun Hiu-cho and his colleagues, had been found to take over the work for the coming year, and he wished them all success.

Hon. Mr. Kotewall's Advice. Hon. Mr. Kotefail said that in. endorsing the Hon. Sir Shouson Chow's remarks he desired to add a few of his own. He thought that attention should be drawn to the fact Lane zor several months last year the time of the out- Directors wha greatly going occupied in raising large sums of money for the relief of refugees In Shanghai; but that in spite of this pre-occupation the Directors

contrived to effect many sub- stantial improvements in the in- ternal administration of the three hospitals under their charge, and in making progress all round. As conspicuous monuments of their their work, may be mentioned the two new wings recently added to the Tung Wah Eastern Hospital, and the completion of a scheme for building, tonement houses and shops on the old Po Loung Kuk site for the purpose of obtaining additional revenue for the main- tenance of the three hospitals, the cost of running which has been steadily growing during the fast two years. He continued:

In addition to raising large sums of money for charitable work outside the Colony and for structural additions and improve- ments to the hospitale, Mr. Chan Lim-pak and his colleagues have themselves aubscribed most liberally. They have every rea- son to be proud of their year's achievements-achievements ren- dered possible by their devotion to duty, their ability and courage, and their splendid team work.

In this way. The vowal signs were only put in about the year 800 AD.
