Goverment House, 27 057 01
Hongkong, 24th. August, 1901.
With reference to my Despatch No. 111 of
the 22nd, of last March, I have the honour to tranmit for
your consideration the enclosed copy of a letter of the late
"Secretary of the Hongkong Nursing Institution and of the
Colonial Secretary's reply to that letter.
Qualy, 1981
When the Jubilee Nursing Scheme was being
formulated the Government undertook to keep up the supply of
Nurses for private nursing, and two Nurses did actually come
out under the auspices of this Government.
Whilst the question of replacing those
Nurses was under consideration a local Nursing Association
was inaugurated, and it was decided to obtain two private
Nurses from home through that Association, the Goverment
paying over the sum of $992.08 for their passages.
As, however, the Government was thus
relieved of the expense and responsibility of maintaining a
regular supply of Nurses for private nursing, I do not
consider that in giving a mall grant of $992.08 the Govern-
ment contributed its fair share towards an enterprise which
is every way deserving of Goverment support.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
I have, therefore, to request your
authority to make provision in next year's Estimates for the
construction of a four-romed house, at a cost which is
estimated by the Acting Director of Public Works at about
$15,000, to furnish quarters for the Nurses obtained by the
Colonial Nursing Institution.
I have the honour to be,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,

Enclosure 1 to Governor's Despatch No. 330
of the 24th August, 1901
From the Secretary, Hongkong Nursing Institution, to .
the Colonial Secretary.
The Peak,
Hongkong, 30th. July, 1901SEF CIJ
I am directed by the Committee of the Hongkong Nursing Institution to ask you to bring the following matter to the notice of Ris Excellency the Governor.
In the scheme for disposition of the
Jubilee Fund a Nursing Institute was included. Owing, however, to the urgent need for Private Nurses, a Nursing Institution has already been established in the Colony.
It is hoped by many of the Subscribers to the Jubilee Fund, who are also Subscribers to the Nursing Institution, that accommodation may be provided in the Jubilee Hospital for women and children, for the Nurses employed by the Institution.
In consideration of the fact that some such provision for Private Nurses was confidently expected by contributors to the Jubilee Fund, the Committee hope that three rooms may be placed at their disposal, as quarters for two Nurses.
I have etc., (S.) Catherine Gibbs,

In reply to paragraph 3 of your Despatch
No. 241 of the 19th. ultimo, I have the honour to inform you
that the duties of the post of Secretary of the Sanitary Board
have recently increased to a considerable extent and will be
increased still further owing to the addition that is being
made to the Sanitary Staff.
During 1899 the number of letters for
the whole year was 361, in 1900 up to the 20th.August, it was
730, and for this year to the same date the number is 1,325.
The recommandation of the Board that the
salary of its Secretary should be increased to $3,600 a year
rising to $4,800 by triennial increments of £300, was
and I concur in the recommendation of the Board.
Pending the receipt of further instrus-
tions, I have appointed Mr. Woodcock Secretary of the Sanitary
Board with a salary of $3,300 rising to $3,600 and I have
caused him to be informed that the question of further

REG 30 SEP 01
Police Offic,
Hongkong, 19th. August, 1901.
#1 of Trasad and seed I
*nbat et kas svilu
I have the honour to report that since the rebellion in Kwai Sin of last Autumn came to an end and its after effects, which took the form in the Colony and in the neighbouring Chinese Territory of a serious outbreak of crime committed by armed bands of pirates and robbers who had taken part in the rebellion for the sake of what they could make out of it, ceased to be acutely felt a considerable reduction was made in the numbers of Police stationed in the New Territory; and that since the Chinese Authorities on the representation of His Excellency the Governor established recently Military posts on their side of the border on the mainland a still further reduction has been rendered possible.
The Force of Police stationed in the New Territory for some little time past (and since the establishment of the posts referred to) has been of the numbers set out in enclosure À bereto.
This shows a reduction of 8 Europeans 43 Indians and 31 Chinese on the establishment fixed in the 0.8.0. above referred to.
Enclosure 2 shows the annual cost of the present establishment and also the cost of running the three launches which are employed patrolling the waters of the New Territory and keep- ing up communication with the Island of Lantao (Tai O and Tung Chung Stations), and on occasion bringing sick from and taking stores to the Stations on the shores of Virs Bay.
I do not think that it would be safe to withdraw any more Indian and Chinese Police from the Stations in the New Territory. Indeed I feel certain that occasions will recur when it will be necessary to re-inforce the present complements at many of the Stations.
But I am of opinion that numbers of Indian
and Chinese Police (among the latter are included Interpreters) set down in the enclosure A may be regarded as the fixed establishment of the Stations enumerated.
Bonourable
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.
The numbers of the European Police may.
bowever,
however, I think be reduced by Seven Constables.
I propose to withdraw one European
Constable from each of the following Stations:- Shatin, Tai Po, Sba- Tau Kok, Sheung Shui, San Tin, Ao Iau and Ping Shan or Seven in all, and to replace them by Indian Sergeants and Acting Sergeants in substi- tution for an equal number of Indian Constables.
This will reduce the number of Europeans allotted to the New Territory to 15, and will effect a further saving of $8,300 a year in salaries of the European portion of the Force. The excess of the pay of Seven Indian Sergeants and Acting Sergeants over Indian Constables will not amount to more than $300 a year.
In a separate paper, I have recommended
that a part of this saving of $3,000 a year should be devoted to giving the European Officers in charge of New Territory Stations a ration allowance.
On account of the taking over of the New Territory the establishment of the Police force was increased by 33 Europeans, 140 Indians, and 58 Chinese of the Land Force.
Since then the Europeans have been re- duced by 8 on the Estimates for 1901 and by 8 sore on the Estimates for 1902 and it is now groposed to further reduce them by 7 21 in all.
On the other hand 43 Indians and 30 Chinese (11 of the 39 Chinese shown in enclosure A are Interpreters) will be set free for duty in the old Territory and to man the proposed new Station at Capsuimun (which will require 3 Indians and 2 Chinese) = 73 men.
But in my minute of 9th. August, 1899,
in the O.S.0. above referred to it is shewn how 46 additional men are required in Victoria alone owing to the Praya Reclamation and new roads on the upper levels and since that date the old Colony has under- gone further growth in the area to be policed. The 73 men, therefore, are all required and cannot be struck off the strength.
The expensive item in the policing of the New Territory, which if the recommendations made for reduction of Seven Suropeans and granting of ration allowances to the remainder in the New Territory are approved, will amount to 190,060.

Government House,
Hongkong, 28th. August, 1901.
With reference to my Despatch No. 204 of
the 31st. July, 1899, I have the honour to inform you that the estimate of $35,000 for the cost of the survey of the New
Territory has been very considerably exceeded.
In his memorandum of the 13th. February,
1899, which fomed the enclosure in my Despatch No. 53 of the 10th. March, 1899, Mr. Ormsby stated (paragraph 4) that it
would probably take from 2 to 3 years to make the survey, which he estimated would involve an expenditure of $60,000
per annumE . In paragraph 2, however, he only took 3 years ag
the basis of his calculation and thus arrived at an estimate
of $120,000; while in paragraph 3 he refers to the estimate of the Surveyor of Ceylon, which amounted to $120,000 per
annum for 2 or 3 years.
In the face of these figures, the estimate.
of the Surveyor-General of India was obviously inaccurate, and
for exmple, no provision was made for the transport of the
Survey Party from India to Hongkong, or for their travelling
expenses when here, or for house and office rent, or for
marking survey stations, or in fact for any incidental ex-

Moreover,
in none of the estimates is any
reference made to demarcation. The survey now in process is
not a survey pure and simple but survey and dmarsation com-
bined, whereas I am informed that in India the survey work
is done separately and the demarcation is carried out by a
special survey staff under the immediate control of the
Collector or Commissioner of the District. Purely survey
operations are more rapid but would be useless in the case of
the New Territory. But surveyors whose rate of working is
controlled by a demarcator cannot be placed on contract rates
and thus one great stimulus to exertion is removed.
The original estimate contemplated a 16"
scale, but it has been proved that over most of the New Ter-
ritory this scale is of no use and the scale has accordingly
been doubled. The 32' scale is, of course, more costly,
I enclose a report from Mr. Newland on
this subject and I have further the honour to draw your atten-
tion to an interesting comparison which exists in the case
of the Straits Settlements, where it was found in 1880 that
the Land Office and land system generally were in confusion
and the Surveyor-General (Major MeMair, R.E.) estimated for
a revenue survey which should restore at a total cost of
$55,960. However, writing in 1886, Major McCallum, R.E. point-
ed out that the estimate was founded on very insufficient
data and stated that a more recent estimate founded on actual
experience was$ 800,000 and that this estimate if anything
MÅ DU SITE AREAS SET
was too mall. His report then proceeds in language exactly
parallel to that used by Mr. Newland and I enclose for your information extracts therefrom with which I have been furnish-
Mosure dy.
ed by Mr. Gompertz.
With regard to this year's estimates the
expenditure to the end of 1900 is given as $35,000 and that
for 1901 as $38,000. The mount of $60,000 appearing in the
column estimated cost" is therefore, incorrect, as the summ
of the figures given is $73,000.
It is to be regretted that a more accurate
estimate of the cost of the Survey of the New Territory was
not framed when the work was under contemplation, but it is
obvious that the original estimates were far too low and I
am satisfied that the Survey is being carried on as economical-
ly as is possible under the special circumstances that
have been found to exist in the New Territory,
I have the honour to be,
Your most obedient

I do not think the Surveyor-General's estimate should be mada s atandard for comparison. He estinated for an area of 72,000 acres and, assuming the nature of the country to be similar to that of Burma, based his estimate on Burma rates + 30%. The country here being quite different from Burma, throws out his estimate complete- ly,,with regard to time and consequently increases the expenditure enormously. During 7 years survey work in Burma, I never came across any billside terraced fields, in the districts under cadastral survey; and as that one of the principal features of the cultivated area here, the survey is consequently very slow and difficult.
In field season 1999 1900 we started with a staff of 3 Inspectors, and 18 surveyors, and although the men gave trouble during the first 3 months, we managed to turn out, by 15th. July, 1900, an area of 35,259 acres on the 18" scale. For the above area the men were paid by contract. During the recess of 1900 all the maps were ink- ed up and the areas of fields extracted, also at contract rates.
During the last field season we worked with the Land Court, the survey and demarcation being done together; consequent- ly our outtura for the season was 9,034 acres as compared with 35,358 acres for 1899 1900.
44.7.1907
Having to work with the Land Court, the Surveyors could not, with any justice, be paid at contract rates, they were therefore, placed on salaries of $40 each, this certainly had a demora- lising effect on the men, they being always accustomed to contract rates
The change of scale from 13" to the 33" also
tended to retard the progress of the survey.
During season 1399 1900 taking only the contract earnings of the Surveyors and the salaries of their Indian and Chinese coolies the cost per acre works out roughly to 25 cents.
This last season, owing to the delays due to demar- cation, the obange of scale, and the surveyors being on salaries instead of contract rates, the cost per acre (taking only the salaries of the Surveyors and their coolies) works out roughly to $1.42.
I have taken last season's outturn as a basis for the estimates I sent you the other day, having made allowances for the extra surveyors we are expecting from India.
The expenses for the extra 10 surveyors, wanted
for the Land Court are also included in the estimates; they are needed for demaroation only and will be of no help whatever in bringing the
surveys to a conclusion; at the sanu time the money spent on them goes down towards the cost of the survey.
You will, therefore, see that my estimate includes not only cost of Survey but part cost of demarcation as well.
In conclusion I would like to point out that my estimates are roughly made out and I hope there will be a considerable balance over. I have allowed for 3 years, an outside limit, but I hope to finish earlier.

Paper to be laid before the Legislative Council by Command
of His Excellency the Governor.
Survey Administration Report, 1885.
Under this scheme, two extra parties of Surveyors were to work off these arrears in two years in Singapore and Malacca, and in three years in Penang and Province Wellesley. The Total cost of this work was estimated to be $55,980. At the time this estimate was made, the band Office was starved, and ignorant of the condition of the country districts, so that the estimate was founded on very insufficient lata. This was 3000 found out when the Surveyors got to work, and no time was therefore, lost in reporting to Government that the calculation were faulty and that the estimate would be greatly exceedel.
As might naturally be expected, it took some time before the party could settle down to the new system of which the trial was to be made. Firstly, there was a good deal of delay in organising demarcation to keep pace with survey. Secondly, several of the men brought over from India knew little of the sort of work which had to be done, and had to be trained, whilst others put in such bad work that it had to be rejected. Thirdly, the man were so disappointed at finding that, owing to high prices the real value of their salaries was so dispro- portionate to what they had expected when in India, that they seened to lose haart. For the purposes of this report, therefore, it will be more convenient if I take the work done and expenses incurred to the close of Way of the current year, when the survey was getting more in swing. This is evident when I mention that, whereas to December 31st. 927 allotments only were done amounting to 3,984 acres. the following five months saw 1,192 allotments done with area of 3,923 acres. The total area done, therefore, amounts to 2,119 allotments, and to 7,912 acres, and this at a cost of $58,075.99.
Deducting from this $702,95 for recruiting and passages, and $4,331.33 for instruments, we have a balance of $50,991.70. This rate is very high, particularly when it it considered that a large portion has been executed on the plains and not on the hills. Mr. Laseron gives his reasons for his heavy expenditure as follows:-
A new survey at starting and till it falls into regular routine and full work must be more expensive.
(3). Loss of time by sickness, leave, Government holidays, rain,
39.35.00
an acre.
Difficulties of ground even in the plains, (out-turn will increase steadily).
(4.) Re-survey awing to errors (not much). Re-survey owing to re-demarcation (altogether I should say 1,000 acres).
(5). Very expensive labour.
High pay for Field Surveyors compared with India.

It is very apparent that if the Cadastral Survey is to be extended beyond the best district, the Colony sust be prepared for a very heavy expenditure of money. About 2-1/2 years ago we were given rough estimates made in a guarded manner by Officers of the Indian Survey Department on very insufficient data.
One of these estimates amounts to 1 Rupes per acre, or jan sore. 933,400 Rupees for the whole Colony. It was pointed out, however, that
these estimates were founded in Burus rates in a comparatively un- enclosed country, and that in the Straits, whace prices are so high we could not expect a native Field Surveyar to work for the same salary as a coolis mandore. Moreover, survey for assessment is a very different thing to survey for title, and the Indian limit of error of 1/100 would be prohibitory in the Straits Settlements.
The last estimate made by Nr. Lasacon, with the experience which he has gained of the Straits, is $900,000 exclusive of the Towns, and this be qualifies by saying that this amount is subject to in- creases of salary #biob must sosetimes be given. If he proceeded at the present rata, a Cadastral Survey of the Settlements (if finally adopted would not be done for four times this amount, but I believe bia first outlay la exceptionally heavy and that his estimate would not turn out to ba far wrong. If anything, however, it is too small.

In continuation of my telegram of the
28th. instant, I have the honour to transmit to you the
enolosed report of the Ronourable the Acting Director
of Public Works on the question of the construction of
the ground floor of the New Law Courts.
In the plans furnished by the Consult-
ing Architects the entire ground floor is shown to be
supported on iron girders end joists, entailing a large
expenditure for no useful purpose. I accordingly recom-
mend Mr.W.Chatham's proposal for your favourable con-
sideration.

Enclosure to Governor's Despatch No.838
of the 30th. August, 1901.
From the Acting Director of Public Works
To the Honourable the Colonial Secretary.
RE RFC 50 SEF 31
Hon. Col. Secretary.
The foundations of the Law Courts are now
advancing towards completion. The level of the ground floor
of the building, when completed, will vary from about 2źto
4 ft. above the surface of the ground as it exists at present.
In the construction of the foundations, no
provision whatever has been made for the formation of any
basement or cellar, except where a chamber is being cons-
tructed for the beating apparatus and a staircase giving
access to same.
The site is not favourable for the constructið
of a basement as the ground floor level will only be 10 feet
above maximum high-water level and the drainage of a basement
floor would therefore be impossible.
Under these circumstances I propose to form no
basement whatever beyond what is absolutely necessary for the
chamber already referred to.
Here, joists would be required to support the
ground floor but the remainder of the ground floor I propose
to form with a layer of rough broken stone, or other suitable
material, about 12inches thick, laid on the surface of the
ground, above which would be laid the cement concrete floor-
ing and timber boarding.
Where pipes are carried under the ground floor
care will be taken to provide access to them, where considered
necessary.
The provision of the iron joists and girders shown on a
plan forwarded by the Consulting Architects is superfluous
and it is therefore desirable that they should be informed
of this so that the expense of obtaining this unnecessary
iron work may be saved.

September,
I have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your despatch No.249 of the 9th
July last on the subject of the land re-
quired by the HongKong Whampoa Dock Company
ami to transmit to you for your information
a copy of a letter which was addressed to
the Admiralty on receipt of that despatch.
A letter was at the same time addressed to
the War Office suggesting the desirability
of withdrawing the conditions imposed by
the Military authorities and numbered and 7

Mr Lucas,
The Dock Company's letter of 11th June is the first enclosure in 29150.

I have also to acknowledge the receipt
of your telegram of the 2nd instant, in reply
to mine of the 30th August, in which you
2 drafts
inform me that the Company desires a 999
years lease as in the case of Messrs
Butterfield and Swire.
The correspondence which you have sent
to me had previously given me no adequate
guidance as to the term of the lease. I
find, however, that you rightly suggested that
it should be for 75 years and that the Com-
pany wished it to be for 999:and also that
you do not consider
this case to be parallel
to that of the lease to Messrs Butterfield
and Swire. You are,
of course, correct on
this point, as that case was one of adding to
a lot, already held on a 999 years lease, a
frontage of which the Government could not
otherwise dispose. I do not find however
that the Company has been informed that the
objection on the part of the Government to
the longer lease still continues.
It is, no doubt to the advantage of the
Goverment and of the public that the large
dock, proposed by the Company, should be
constructed, but the correspondence does
not show that this advantage Justifies giving
to the Company what is practically a freehold;
nor has it been shown that the Company would
not be content with a shorter lease if
other conditions were favourable.
In the circumstances, I am not pre-
pared without further explanations to con-
sent to the grant of a 999 years lease

With reference to my Despatch No. 221 of
the 12th. of last June, I have the honour to inform you that
there are at present in this Colony no appliances for the
conduct of Bacteriological work or for the scheme of dealing
with outbreaks of rinderpest submitted in General Gascoigne's
1405 Despatch No. 148 of the 7th. April, 1900.
I, therefore, recommend that the Bacterio-
logist, if appointed, should be authorized to expend a sum of
$7,500 for the equipment of the proposed Bacteriological
Laboratory, before he leaves England, where he will have the
selection of such instruments and apparatus as he may require.
I have further to request your sanction
for placing the sum of $7,500 in the Estimates for next year,
This estimate of expenditure has been based on the Estimate
of the Straits Settlements Government.
I have the honour to be,
