Mir Carrie's Replies Mr W. J. Carrie, Chairman replied: 1-Yes I am well aware of the raids that have for some time been mado on tfallcensed hawkers.

(a) The authority is given by Section 6 of the Hawkers Ordinance No. 22 of 1935 and any arrests made would be for contravention of By-lawssued on the Hongkong Stock Mar- Satisfactory Operation Of hours sharp. Dress-Khaki Uniform. The

(b) These raids have my general consent; I cannot say I have previous knowledge of every ene.

were

(c) These raids are very neces- sary in the interests of publie health. I have just submitted for the con- sideration of this Council an 'amond- ment of the by-laws, which is now in

circulation and will по doubt come up for consideration

at our next' meeting

(d) My instructions

that only stalls and funerant hawkers selling foodstuffs, mainly cooked food or cut or peeled fruit, should be dealt with in these ralds. It is belleve the opinion of all medical men that hawkers of cooked or pre- pared food are a serious menace to the health of the community and that heavy incidence of intestinal disease we shall never reduce the present until these hawkers, both stall and itinerant, are totally abolished.

in the first instance; but in the (0) Nothing is confiscated to-day amendment to the by-laws mentioned I am asking for authority I have to confiscate the chattels of any unlicensed hawkers gear and goods and of cooked or prepared food.

On the approach of the Health Inspectors the unlicensed hawkers invariably run away leaving behind their goods. The stalls, utensils and so forth are then removed from the streets by a Sanitary Department fecting Stations, von, and are retained in the Disin-

Hongkong Kowloon, awaiting a claimant.

and Any foodstuffs found are dealt with under Section 4 of the Publie Health (Food) Ordinance No. 13 of 1935. I found unwholesome destruction is ordered by me,

Other goods not claimed are set nside in storage and will be sold at future date together with other

Sondemned stores.
