Report of the Committee appointed by His Excellency the Governor, at the Meeting of the Legislative Council, held on Thursday, the 1st September, 1921, for the purpose of considering what measures can be best taken :-
(i.) To facilitate the prompt acquisition by applicants of
sites which they require:
(ii.) To facilitate the prompt passing of building plans.
Laid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor, 14th November, 1921.
Note:The following abbreviations are used in this Report:-
G. in C.-for His Excellency the Governor in Council. D. P. W.-for the Honourable Director of Public Works. B. A. -for Building Authority.
A.D.P.W.-for Assistant Director of Public Works.
P. W. D.-for Public Works Department.
P. L. S.-for the Principal Land Surveyor.
L. S.
O.-for the Land Survey Office.
O. C.
B. O.
-for the Officer in charge of the Building Ordinance Office. O.-for the Building Ordinance Office.
H. S.
D.-for the Head of the Sanitary Department.
As regards the first point referred to the Committee, namely the facilitating of the prompt acquisition by applicants of sites which they require, Messrs. Bird and Pollock have been much assisted by interviews which they held jointly with the P. L. S., on the 15th and 30th September.
As a result, we are satisfied that delay is due to the following causes :
1. Considerably increased land development in the Colony, coupled with the
fact that some of the newly developed areas are far afield.
2. Insufficiency of staff.
(a.) We find, as regards the European Staff, that Mr. Anderson was transferred from the L.S.O. to Praya East Reclamation Work in the middle of last year, and Mr. Pegg, who was engaged on Survey work in the New Territories last year, was transferred from the L.S.O. to the Engineering staff, for Roads work, in January of this
year.
(b.) Insufficient number of Chinese Surveyors. At least six more are
required in our opinion.
(e.) Insufficient number of Chinese draughtsmen. It would appear that
two more are required.
.
146
(d.) The P.L.S. recommends the appointment of an European Clerk (a new post) in the Clerical Office, to take charge of that office and of the filing and indexing of records.
3. Lack of office accommodation and of facilities for filing records. With regard to the above causes of delay, we recommend
(i.) That one additional European Survey Officer be now engaged for the L.S.O., as Mr. Douglas reports that he can carry on the work of the Ordnance Survey Office without another European Assistant, and as the European Clerk proposed in (iv) will lighten the duties of the European Surveyors.
(ii.) That at least six additional Chinese Surveyors be engaged.
(iii:) That at least two more Chinese draughtsmen be engaged.
(iv.) That an European Clerk, to take charge of the Clerical Office, be
engaged.
(v.) That the Building of the additional quarters for the staff of the P. W. D.
be commenced at the earliest possible date.
As regards the second point referred to the Committee, Mr. Pollock interviewed Mr. White about the middle of September and Messrs. Bird and Pollock had a joint interview with Mr. White on the 30th September.
We are satisfied that delay in the passing of building plans have been due to consi- derable recent increase of work in the B. O. O. and to the following causes :-
1. Shortage in indoor staff of the B. O. 0.
2. The absence of a Clerk of Works, a new post recommended by the O. C.
Such Clerk of Works would have power to deal with (inter alia) applica- tions for permits; levels; scavenging lanes; cemeteries and drainage propo- sals, and would thus relieve the O. C. and his two assistants in the B. O. 0. of some work; in addition to relieving the present Drainage Foreman to a certain extent.
3. Numerous appeals to the G. in C. under section 265 of Ordinance 1 of 1903.
4. Insufficient filling in, in some cases, by persons sending in plans, of the form
in Schedule K to Ordinance No. 1 of 1903.
5. The absence in Schedule K of any forms asking for-
(a.) Modifications, and
(b.) Exemptions.
6. Insufficient accommodation and means for filing Records in the B.0.0.
To obviate the above causes of delay, we recommend :-
(i.) (a.) That one extra European Assistant be engaged for the indoor staff
as soon as possible, to meet the increase of work.
(b.) That one extra draughtsman be engaged.
(c.) That a stenographer-typist be engaged, as the O. C. is clear that the engagement of such an assistant would be of much use to him.
(d.) See also (ii) infra.
(ii.) That a Clerk of Works be engaged, with duties as above defined. (iii.) That all plans asking for exemptions or modifications, under those sections of Ordinance 1 of 1903, which are at present included in section 264 (b) and also in sections 135-8, and 151, 153, 154, 162, 175, 176, 180, 185, 188, and 216 of 1 of 1903 be dealt with, as follows (making of course, the necessary amendments in the above sections and also in sections 264 (b) and 265) :-
(a.) That the applicant state, clearly, on the above proposed new and enlarged form K, what applications or exemptions he requires and under what sections respectively.
:
1
147
(b.) That such plans and applications be sent in direct to the B.A. (c.) That such plans be immediately inspected on arrival to see whether
any application for modification or exemption is being asked for. (d.) That the B.A. decide, as soon as possible, whether to grant or refuse
such exemptions or modifications as asked for.
(e.) That, in the event of the B.A. deciding not to grant them, they may be immediately referred to the Committee of five hereinafter referred to, to be dealt with by them finally, in the place of the G. in C. (f.) That such Committee of five consist of the following members :-
The D.P.W. as Chairman,
not.
Two Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council (One
European and One Chinese) and
Two Architects.
The Committee to meet once a week, for the purpose of decid- ing whether such modifications or exemptions should be granted or Two architects are necessary as it would be troublesome to have an architect appointed just for the day in the event of one of the two architects on the Committee being an interested party, and, therefore, disqualified from sitting on it.
As regards the composition of that Committee the D.P.W. states that he would prefer one architect and one outside expert in Naval or Military employment in place of Two architects, but Messrs. Bird and Pollock consider two architects preferable, as such an outside architect as is suggested would not be conversant with the rather complicated provisions of and the working of Ordinance 1 of 1903 or with local conditions.
(g.) That the architect concerned be at liberty to appear before such
Committee.
(iv) We think that applicants should be warned to fill in fully Schedule K and also the addition which we recommend to Schedule K containing applications for modifications or exemptions.
(v) We also recommend that increased accommodation be given to the
B.O.O. in the new temporary building to be erected.
(vi) We also agree with a recommendation of the O.C. that many classes of nuisance hitherto dealt with by the B. A. should be referred to the H.S.D. instead, as we consider that such work would be more appro- priately dealt with by the Sanitary Department than by the B.0.0. e.g., complaints re missing gratings; defective rain water pipes; defective waste pipes; choked drains; defective floor surfaces; and defective wall surfaces.

HONGKONG.
PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE CENSUS OF HONGKONG, 1921.
Laid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor, 23rd June, 1921.
No.
5
1921
The Census of the Colony was taken in the City of Victoria, Shaukiwan and the Kowloon Peninsula (except Kowloon City) on April 24th; in the New Territories and Hongkong Villages between March 24th and April 24th; in the Harbour from April 23rd to April 26th.
2. The figures given in the annexed tables were gathered from the totals given in the enumerators' books, the casting of which has been carefully checked.
3. The taking of the Census gave rise to an abundant crop of puerile rumours, which gained wide currency and caused no little alarm especially among the families of lower and middle class Chinese; a discussion of overcrowding by the Sanitary Board shortly before the date of the Census without doubt gravely affected the accuracy of the returns made by householders in the congested areas.
4. The date fixed for the Census proved to be very unfortunate :----
(a.) In the New Territories the majority of the inhabitants were found to be absent from their houses the whole day long, being busily engaged in preparations for planting the first crop of paddy, and the enumerators experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining the requisite information. (b.) In the Island of Hongkong and the Mainland, large numbers of the Chinese adult male population were absent in their native villages, the date being the middle of the Ching Ming Festival; thus in several middle class residential sections the females were found to equal or exceed the males. The enumerators also reported difficulty in many cases, where all the adult males in a family were absent, in obtaining the necessary informa- tion from the females left behind.
5. The Ching Ming Festival also caused great difficulties in holding together a sufficient number of enumerators, many enumerators who had been appointed and care- fully trained resigned or left the Colony without notice just as the schedules were ready for distribution, and others had to be found and receive hasty instructions at the last moment.
6. The factors mentioned in paragraphs 3 and 4 undoubtedly reduced the numbers reported in the case of the land population, but it is as yet impossible to form any estimate of what percentage should be aded to the figures reported to arrive at the true total of the normal population of the Colony.
I consider however that the figures found for the floating population are very near the truth, and give an accurate idea of the normal average floating population, which at times is abnormally increased for short periods by the presence of the deep sea fishing fleet, for which the Colony cannot be said to be the home port: this fleet was absent at the time the Census was taken.

REPORT ON THE CENSUS OF THE COLONY FOR 1921.
No. 15
1921
Laid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor, 15th December, 1921.
1. The decennial Census of the Civil population of the Colony was taken in the Island of Hongkong and Kowloon on the night of April 24th, and in the New Territories between March 24th and April 24th, the Floating Population being enumerated between April 23rd and 26th. These dates were selected so as to appoximate as nearly as possible to the date originally appointed for the Census of the United Kingdom.
2. The total population was found to be 625,166, an increase of 168,427 or 36.87 per cent on the figures for 1911, the greatest relative increase ever recorded for the Colony. The bulk of the increase has taken place in the City of Victoria and Kowloon; the Northern District of. the New Territories shows a very slight decrease, while the Southern District shows a slight increase.
3. The work of preparation was commenced on January 20th and the final schedule was approved on March 3rd. This left a very short time to prepare the necessary trans- lations in Chinese, and get the work of printing executed in time to commence work in the New Territories on March 24th.
4. The schedule adopted was simpler than in 1911, questions as to language, religion and infirmities being omitted. Proposed columns for "race" and "industry were excised from the final draft, hence it was impossible to classify the cosmopolitan. non-Chinese population except by nationality, thus Javanese, Malays and Annamites had to be included with Europeans from their respective Countries. The omission of the column for industry in which employed' has rendered the compilation of the table of occupations extremely laborious and the result not very satisfactory, because the Home classification, which presupposes such a column, was ordered to be used for the first time in the Colony.
5. The Census of the City of Victoria, Shaukeiwan and Kowloou was taken under my direct supervision, the outlying districts of Hongkong and Kowloon, the New Territories and the Floating Population by the Police under the supervision of Mr. C. G. Perdue, Assistant Superintendent of Police, who was temporarily detached for this duty. The aim kept in view with reference to the part of the work undertaken by the Police, was to relieve them of all work other than supervision. The District Watchmen's Committee kindly placed the bulk of their men at my disposal, and they proved of considerable assistance. Each Chinese Watchman engaged was in charge of two sections: they helped to clear up misunderstandings and keep a check on the enumerators. The Naval and Military authorities kindly co-operated in the distribution and collection of schedules for civilians living in quarters under their control.
6. The majority of the schedules were collected and returned to the office within 10 days, and the preliminary report was ready by May 12th. The schedules as a whole were filled up carefully, and contained very few errors even in the poorer parts of the Colony, and these mostly of a trifling nature. The column for occupation was however in very many cases filled up without sufficient preciseness.
152
7. Advance copies of the English and Chinese schedules were forwarded to all Government and Grant-in-Aid Schools and the largest of the Chinese Private Vernacular Schools, and the co-operation of the masters was solicited in explaining to their pupils the objects of the Census and the correct methods of completing the schedules. Advance copies were also forwarded to all the newspapers, and during the week immediately preceding the Census, general instructions were widely advertised in the English and Chinese Press.
8. The City of Victoria was divided into 97 sections, based on the Health District boundaries, two enumerators being detailed as a rule to each section. Most of the sections adopted in 1911 were reduced in size, but many were found in practice to be still too large for two enumerators to handle properly and speedily. Shaukeiwan and Quarry Bay were divided into 5 sections and the Kowloon Peninsula into 35 sections, of which many proved too large. Each enumerator received a card of appointment in English and Chinese, and a set of instructions in Chinese; the boundaries of his section were endorsed on the back of the card in Chinese, but though I personally took all the enumerators round their sections and explained to them on the spot exactly what ground they were to cover, it was found difficult to convince some of them that their section included every building within the boundaries mentioned on their card.
9. For tabulation the slip system was again used, but before the next census it will be necessary to consider whether the use of tabulating machinery would be justified, if the population increases at anything like the present rate: otherwise a large number of clerks will be required, who will need a large amount of office accommodation, and may be difficult to recruit at a reasonable wage if employment happens to be good at the time.
10. A room on the top floor of the Courts of Justice was used as the General Office, and after experiment was found capable of accommodating 22 clerks and a supervisor, to which figure the original staff engaged was reduced. With more office room available the time required could have been reduced, but it is preferable and more economical to employ a smaller staff and take a longer time to complete the work, as it requires some little while for the tabulating clerks to become proficient. The piece work system adopted in 1911 was not used as it is apt to result in the work being done carelessly and hurriedly in order to earn a larger bonus. Overtime was worked during October in order to complete the report before the end of the year, and the bulk of the staff were discharged on October 31st.
Section I.-Distribution of the Population.
(Tables I & II).
1. The population of the Colony is composed of four distinct sections (a) that of the New Territories, Northern District, which is purely agricultural, living in about 600 small villages and hamlets, only a few of which have a population exceeding 500, (b) that of the New Territories, Southern District, which is mainly dependent on fishing, the Tsun Wan district partly depending on the cultivation of pineapples, (c) that of Hongkong and the Kowloon Peninsula, which chiefly depends on general commerce and shipbuilding, (d) that of the Floating Population living on junks and small boats, which in Victoria Harbour depends on service rendered to shipping, and in Cheungchow and Tai-O in the New Territories South, Shaukeiwan and Aberdeen on the Island of Hongkong, on fishing.
2. New Territories.-In the New Territories North the population is stationary: in the Southern district a large increase is shown for Cheungchow and Tsun Wan, Tsun Wan being 4,903 against 2,982, Cheungchow 5,037 against 3,964: the Island of Lantao shows a decrease from 6,710 to 5,958. The population of the whole of the New Territories comprises roughly one seventh of the total land population.
3. Of the remaining six-sevenths the great majority are an urban population, massed round the shores of Hongkong Harbour, the majority at present residing on the northern slope of the Island of Hongkong.
4. City of Victoria.-The City of Victoria, a term hardly known to ordinary re-
153
sidents, and rarely heard or seen except in maps and official reports, has now a popula- tion of 323,273, an increase of 41.88 per cent :--
(a) Eastern District. The eastern District, i.e. from North Point to the Naval Yard, shows an increase of 38,215, being more than double the figure for 1911. This is due largely to the conversion of some large godowns, Fenwick's Engineering Yard and the French Convent into streets of re- sidential property, also to the rebuilding of a number of small two-storied houses. In 1911 this district contained a number of vacant tenements, while now every house is full, and the second most densely populated area is found here between Anton Street and Wanchai Road where the
density is 1,410 per acre. This district has become a popular place of residence for clerks and others on small salaries, and the traffic between the business section of the City and Wanchai has greatly increased. This traffic passes across the route taken by Europeans to their residences on the higher levels and has given an exaggerated impression of the growth of the population. This district will be profoundly affected in the future by the large scheme for the Reclamation of the Bay which is about to begin.
(b.) Upper Levels.-The increase in the Upper Levels is 7,185, due largely to the replacement of Europeans by wealthy Chinese; in houses where ten years ago a European family of four with four Chinese servants resided, there are now found Chinese families of often at least treble that number. Comparatively little building has been carried on in this section.
(c.) Hill District. The Hill District shows an increase of 101 in the non- Chinese population and 195 in the Chinese population in spite of the fact that a large Boarding House was temporarily closed at the date of the Census, and that the number of houses ready for occupation remain- ed about the same as in 1911. Since the Census a number of houses have been built or projected.
(d.) Central District. The Central District i.e. from Pedder Street and Glenea- ly to the Tung Wah Hospital and Wing Lok Street, has increased by 31,187. No new sites have been opened up for building in this district, which has long been fully occupied, while along Des Voeux Road Central and the Praya many houses formerly used as emigrant lodging houses or family houses, have been turned into large department stores, which have all congregated here. The increase is therefore in a district, which was adequately filled before, and where rebuilding often means a sacrifice of accommodation owing to the more stringent Building and Sanitary regulations in force at the present time.
(e.) Sai Ying Pun.-Sai Ying Pun, i.e. from the Tung Wah Hospital to Pok- fulam Road, only shows the small increase of 889. This district contains a number of old two-storied houses of poor construction, whose service is nearly done, and which will have to be rebuilt very soon, when the number of stories will doubtless be largely increased. This district contains the densest populated area i.e., that bounded by Third, Eastern and Western Streets and Des Voeux Road West, the density being approxi- mately 1,600 per acre.
(f.) West Point.-West Point, i.e. from Pokfulam Road to Jubilee Road at the foot of Mount Davis, has increased by 10,929: this increase is mostly between Pokfulam and Hill Roads where there has been considerable
building activity. West of Hill Road however a large number of houses have been demolished to make room for palatial Chinese re- staurants and large godowns.
In Victoria future expansion north of Kennedy, Caine and Bonham Roads is now impossible, all the available-ground being already fully occupied. But in the Upper Levels before the next Census the substitution of blocks of Chinese flats for European style houses standing in their own grounds will have rendered accommodation available there for large numbers of middle class Chinese, while the wealthier Chinese now in occupation may be expected to build themselves country homes on the south side of the Island, now rendered accessible by good motor roads.
154
5. Shaukeiwan.--The Shaukeiwan District i.e., from North Point to Lyeemoon, has increased by 6,442, and much building was in progress when the Census was taken. The population bere largely relies for its livelihood on the Taikoo Dockyard and Sugar Refinery, which were fully employed. A large scheme of reclamation is now about to commence at North Point, and before long the City of Victoria will undoubtedly extend in an unbroken line from West Point to Lyeemoon Pass, a distance of 10 miles.
6. Aberdeen. The Aberdeen district has increased by 644; there is considerable building activity here, especially on the reclamation recently completed, while across the harbour at Aplichau a large scheme of reclamation is in hand. This district depends largely on junk building and the fishing industry which of recent years has not been
very prosperous.
7. Pokfulam. The Pokfulam district, i.e., that part of the South Side of the Island extending from Mount Davis to Aberdeen, has increased by 951; the population is largely dependent on the Dairy Farm, but an increasing number of European style houses are being erected in this district.
8. Kowloon Peninsula.-The Kowloon Peninsula shows an increase of 55,951 or 82.96 per cent, a phenomenal increase in a district which in 1881 only numbered 9,021 inhabitants:-
(a.) Kowloon Point.-That part of the Kowloon Peninsula south of King's Park
shows an increase in the non-Chinese population of 1,048, chiefly owing to the migration of Portuguese from Hongkong. A large number of European flats have been recently erected in the district. The Chinese population has increased by 4,642.
(b.) Hunghom.-The District of Hunghom has increased by 8,759; this is due chiefly to the fact that in 1911 work at the Kowloon Docks and Cement Works, on which the population chiefly relies, was exceptionally slack. The Dock Co. and the Electric Light Co. have erected new blocks of quarters for their staffs at Tai Wan, but apart from this there has been little building in the district. There is plenty of land available for building purposes along the Kowloon City Road, but while the abomin- able and largely preventable dust nuisance caused by the Cement Works is allowed to continue, residence in this district will be unpopular except for the lower classes of labour employed by the Cement Works and Dock Co., and the developement of a large part of the Peninsula will be effectually prevented.
(c.) Yaumati.--Yaumati i.e., the district between the Indian Barracks and the Police Station, has increased by 8,914. There were a very large number of houses in course of erection at the time of the Census, and I estimate that by the beginning of next year accommodation will have been pro- vided for 10,000 additional persons in this district. The reclamation in front of the Police Station completed a few years ago has not yet been built upon, and forms one of the few remaining vacant areas in this district.
(d.) Mongkok.-Mongkok i.e., the district extending from the Yaumati Police Station to Mongkok Village, has increased by 14,533. Great building activity has been apparent in recent years and all available land has now been occupied except in the immediate vicinity of Mongkok Village itself. A large amount of swampy ground has been filled in and is now being built upon; there will be room however for extension between Mongkok and Yaumati Railway Station as soon as the necessary work of filling in the low-lying ground has been taken in hand.
(e.) Taikoktsui and Shamshuipo.-Taikoktsui and Shamshuipo have increased by 6,372 in spite of the fact that a large number of matsheds and huts formerly occupied as dwellings at Sz Wo T'ong and Cheung Sha Wan have been removed. The old village of Shamshuipo composed of narrow winding alleyways and one-storied stone hovels has been completely swept away and in its place a modern suburb is rapidly rising with wide streets and three-storied houses, on land reclaimed from the sea; at the date of the Census a large number of houses were in course of erection. The whole area is being laid out on a systematic plan drawn up some years
155
ago, and Shamshuipo bids fair to become a popular residential and industrial district. Large schemes of reclamation are now well under way both at Cheung Sha Wan, Taikoktsui and Kowloon Tong. In the near future from the Kowloon Ferry a thickly populated district will extend for 4 miles to Laichikok. In 1897 this portion i.e., the Western side of the Peninsula only contained 11,500 inhabitants.
(f.) Kowloon City. For the purposes of the Census, Kowloon City has been included in the Kowloon Peninsula, though for certain purposes it is still considered a part of the Southern District of the New Territories. An increase is shown of 2,181, but this is partly accounted for by the presence of workmen engaged on the various works of improvement now in progress. A large scheme for reclaiming the shallow part of the bay in front of the city has been under way for some years, and is still pro- gressing though very slowly. A beginning has already been made with the erection of modern houses on the reclamation; a broad road is being constructed to join Kowloon City to Yaumati and Mongkok, and it will not be long before the old Chinese houses and narrow lanes composing what is known to Europeans as the City, but to the inhabitants as the lower suburb, have been replaced by modern improvements. Such rapid progress is not however to be expected here as on the Western side of the Peninsula, which seems for some reason to be greatly preferred by the Chinese population.
Normal Population.
9. Factors affecting.--With an urban population so subject to sudden changes and forming the greater part of the whole, it is important to consider how far the results of the Census present a true account of the normal population. On the credit side are to be placed civil commotion and famine in the neighbouring province, activity of trade. and emigration in the Colony, and on the debit side festivals held in China, epidemic disease, trade stagnation and dear rice in the Colony. Examining the factors mentioned in order, it is found that comparative peace and prosperity reigned in Kwong Tung, which was about to celebrate the installation of a New President, whereas the year 1911 was a time of civil commotion causing the inundation of the Colony with thousands of refugees from Canton. On the other hand, an unprecedented stagnation of trade had prevailed in the Colony for over 12 months, the present world-wide depression having manifested itself earlier in the Far East than in Europe. The Trade Returns of the Colony for the 2nd Quarter 1921 showed a decrease of 52-61 per cent while the tremen- dous slump in the values of the raw products of Malaya had greatly restricted the tide. of emigrants, for whom Hongkong serves as the collecting centre, especially in the spring. On the other side of the account, the Colony was remarkably free from epidemic disease, and the price of rice, the staple food, was normal. But the most disturbing factor for Census purposes was the occurrence of the Tsing Ming festival. The date of the Census i.e. April 24th, was the 17th day of the third moon of the Chinese calendar, and during the third moon it is the duty of every adult male Chinese, if he can, to return to his native village to worship at his ancestral tombs. The third moon has become for Hongkong somewhat like the month of August in England, except that the whole family does not participate, though often baby boys are taken home in charge of their mothers to be presented to the male relations assembled for the festival. In the case of domestic servants, police and those in similar employ, the period of absence is generally about 10 days, while in the case of Chinese business men it is often longer, as business during this month gives way to duty.
Enquiries made show that the traffic both in and out was exceptionally heavy by river steamers, junks and railway, being 51 per cent above the average month, and that the number of Chinese employees and domestic servants on leave was high, in the case of domestic servants probably 15 to 20 per cent. It is difficult to form other than a rough estimate from all the figures kindly supplied to me from various sources, but that a large number of males were absent is confirmed by the fact that in the City of Victoria and Kowloon 11 sections showed an excess of females over males, while in 10 other sections the proportion was about equal, an unusual position in a place like Hongkong where males so greatly exceed the females.
156
Accuracy.-Careful instructions were given to the enumerators to serve a schedule on every cubicle in separate occupation; whole families would probably be omitted if this instruction were not complied with, since the tenant of the whole flat would not bother about getting the details from the subtenants of the separate cubicles. In the majority of cases this instruction was carried out properly, but there must have been some leakage in cases where the instruction was not obeyed. A discussion held by the Sanitary Board shortly before the Census on the question of overcrowding undoubtedly tended to give rise in the congested areas to a conviction that it would be highly injudicious to record all the inmates in some crowded tenements; while the prevalence of a widespread belief amongst Chinese women of the middle and lower classes in the alleged inhuman designs of the Public Works Department on infantile life undoubtedly affected the number of children of both sexes recorded between the ages of 4 and 10. The rumour referred to is in short that the Government intended to build a huge bridge across the harbour to Kowloon resting on 99 piers, and that a certain number of young children of both sexes were required to be buried alive under the foundations of each pier in order to ensure its stability. The numbers increased as the rumours grew, and the highest number which came to my notice was 300 of each sex, while the final embellishment to the tale was the addition of an unfixed number of pregnant women. In the perverted. view of the frightened mothers the very object of the Census was to enable the Govern- ment to make a suitable choice of its victims. Enquiries made showed that the story had gained wide credence and caused no little alarm throughout Hongkong and Kowloon, but did not affect the floating population. In the Central District it was reported to me that middleclass mothers went personally in the middle of the morning to rescue their younger children from school, while in Wanchai and Shaukeiwan children were locked up for days and not allowed to go out of doors. The rumour however quickly vanished under the outspoken comments of the enlightened Chinese Press, and the enumerators found no difficulty in collecting the schedules. However the following figures are suggestive that many young children were not recorded; increase over 1911 for children under 10- 65 13 per cent, increase over 1911 for all women between 20 and 45, 75'05 per cent, the increase of children being less than that of women of child-bearing age.
Estimate of normal population. I estimate that the normal population of the Colony is greater than the figures of the Census by the following numbers:---
Absent on holiday,.
Unemployed returned to the country temporarily,
Absence of business men from China,
Decrease of emigrants,
Absence of family visitors,
Loss due to omissions from various causes,
10,000
2,000
4,000
2,000
2,000
10,000
30,000
Thus the normal population would be in the neighbourhood of 660,000, and as soon as business becomes brisk again this figure must be somewhat increased. This figure approximates to the estimate of the Sanitary Department which was 648,000. But at no time were there any grounds for holding the opinion that the population was in the neighbourhood of one million, as was at one time alleged. The number of floors in Hongkong and Kowloon occupied by Chinese has increased in the last 10 years by 7,117 which at 15 persons per floor, a fairly high average, affords accommodation for 106,755 out of a total increase of 157,398 in the Chinese Urban population, thus leaving a large portion of the increase to find accommodation in houses already fully occupied in 1911.
Section II.-The Non-Chinese Population.
(Tables III to VIII.)
1. The number of non-Chinese excluding the Mercantile Marine has increased from 11,225 to 12,856. In 1911 the non-Chinese were classified by race, while the correspond- ing classification in the present Census is by nationality. A comparison is therefore some- what difficult. Japanese have increased from 958 to 1,585, citizens of the U.S.A. from 295 to 470, Portuguese (including British subjects) from 2,558 to 2,609, British nationals⠀⠀ born in India from 1,414 to 1,474, British nationals born in Europe, America and Australia from 2,236 to 3,110.
¡
157
2. I estimate the population of pure European descent to be rather over 5,000, of Indian or mixed Indian descent at 2,000. The remainder include Eurasians, Filipinos, and natives of British, Dutch and French colonies.
3. BRITISH (a.) Europeans.-I estimate the number of British nationals of European race at 4,300. On referring to the age table it will be noticed that after age 7 the number of children declines, the reason being all who can afford it send their children home for education at that age: these rarely return, since before their education is complete the parents have generally left the Colony. The average attendance of children during 1920 at British schools was 163. I estimate that the total number of British children of European race of all ages to be about 500.
Most males reach the Colony between the ages of 21 and 25, and few remain after 55. In the case of females it is common for the mothers to leave the Colony often for good when their children reach school age, in order to be with them during their education in England; hence at age 40 the number of married women rapidly declines.
Owing to various reasons a comparison of the Health rate with that for a normal population settled in Europe is rather fallacious. However the death rate for 1920 for British Nationals of European race works out at 12 per thousand, an extremely low rate compared with some other colonies, and well demonstrates the success of modern science in a Colony which 50 years ago was regarded as a veritable death trap for Europeans. The birth rate works out at 22 per thousand, an exceptionally high rate for Hongkong, due to the unusually large number of young married women at present resident in the Colony.
The actual number of British firms has not increased since 1911, and there is at present a marked tendency to amalgamation especially in the case of companies. Trade depression in the Far East showed itself early in 1920 before business in England had had time to settle down after the completion of demobilisation: hence the expected post- war increase in British firms in the Colony did not eventuate and at the present time it does not appear likely that any increase in the British population of European race is likely to take place in the near future.
(b.) Indians.-The number of natives of India remains about the same. Their number depends almost entirely on the demand for Indian Police and Watchmen, about 85 per cent of adult males being employed as Police or Watchmen or in various Govern- ment departments. The birthplace of the majority is the Punjaub and the North West Province. The commercial importance of the Indian community has greatly decreased since the abolition of the trade in Indian opium in which they were chiefly interested, and since the large increase in the manufacture of cotton yarn and piece goods in Japan and North China. Indians are chiefly interested in retail drapery, silk and curio stores, and cotton yarn. Besides those born in India there are 287 males and 341 females born outside India mostly in Hongkong, a large number of whom are of mixed race, for it is fairly common for Indians to marry Chinese especially as secondary wives; these Indians of mixed race are mostly employed as clerks. The Indian watchmen are all Sikhs, and are mostly professional money lenders as a side line. A few Indians are now employed as chauffeurs. Very few Parsee firms now remain, and the Parsee community once so important is now fast disappearing from the Colony.
Occupations. It should be remarked with regard to agriculture that the number shown as farmers is composed of Indians passing through the Colony. The number of British ships' officers and crew shown is much higher than usual, and is due to a large number of the smaller tramp coasting steamers being laid up owing to the prevailing shipping depression. It is to be noticed that of all non-Chinese engaged in religious work in the Colony only 13'4 per cent are of British nationality.
4. ALIENS.-The place of the Germans seems to have been filled by the increased number of Japanese, American and Dutch firms. Americans have in- creased from 295 to 470. A number of American firms opened during and after the close of the war, several for the purpose of managing U. S. Shipping Board ships, but
158
indications go to show that the permanent increase of the American business community will not be great. The French business community who were never very important, have slightly increased, but most of the French nationals are engaged in religious work. Natives of Indo-China have been included under French. Italians and Spanish of European descent are almost all engaged in religious work; under Spanish are classed a few who more strictly speaking are Portuguese or Filipino, but who claim Spanish nationality.
Japanese have increased from 958 to 1,585, and are now to be found in nearly every kind of trade, in the professions, crafts and domestic service. Numbers of them have now brought their families to the Colony, and the number of married women and children is largely increased. Ten years ago the number of married women was very small, but there are now 293 married women. Japanese have largely displaced Europeans in the last ten years in the middle levels between Kennedy and May Roads, while most of the artisans and small shopkeepers are to be found along the Praya in Wanchai between Arsenal Street and Morrison Hill.
The race known throughout the Far East as Portuguese must not be confused with the Portuguese of Europe. They are the descendants of the Portuguese pioneers of Western civilisation who reached China at the beginning of the 16th century, and, after many vicissitudes, finally in the middle of that century established a permanent settlement on the barren rocky peninsula subsequently known as Macau. It is recorded that the first settlers married natives of Malacca and Japan, and during the early years of the settlement they do not appear to have intermarried with Chinese, as has been the case of more recent years. At no time in the history of Macau does the number of females born in Europe seem to have been worthy of note. By 1834 Macau had become a colony in the true sense, the majority of the free inhabitants of non-Chinese race having been born there. At that date out of a population of 3,693 free non-Chinese inhabitants, only 75 males and 2 females were born in Portugal, and these were mostly officials, soldiers or ecclesiastics.
It was not till the prosperity of Macau began to decline with the rise of Hongkong that the Portuguese began from 1855 onwards to migrate to Hongkong and thence to every port in the Far East, till at the present time a numerous Portuguese community exists wherever foreign trade is carried on. The total is probably about 15,000; they form a separate community everywhere, at the present day rarely marrying outside, and speaking their own particular dialect, which portrays in its admixture of Hindustani, Malay, Japanese and Chinese words the history of the race.
Among the surnames of Hongkong Portuguese are found several of non-Portuguese origin. The explanation probably is that children of other European races brought up as Roman Catholics intermarried and became merged in the Portuguese community.
Sexes.-Between the ages of 20 and 25 there are 87 males to 110 females, this disparity grows till between 45 and 50 there are 38 males to 61 females. ́This disproportion has always been a feature of the race in every Census, and is partly accounted for by the enigration of males as soon as they leave school, and later on in life, when their further prospects of advancement here are small. During the war a number of males left the Colony for Shanghai and North China. The preponderance of females in the present Census is 56 to 44, while in 1834 in Macau the figures were 62 to 38.
Of the 1810 Portuguese born in the Colony only 552 claimed British nationality. Since the abolition of the monarchy there has been marked revival of national feeling amongst this community.
For
Duration of Life.-They are on the whole a comparatively short-lived race. females between the ages of 20 and 60, there is a loss of 59 per cent against a loss of 34 per cent in England and Wales; for males the loss is far greater, but is partly accounted for by emigration.
For 1920 the birth rate was 27.2 per thousand, the death rate 21 per thousand. Many cases of large families of 8 and over were noticed.

5. Migratory character of the population. A comparison of the Directories for 1911 and 1921 showed that of European adult males, exclusive of Government servants, resident here in 1911, only 197 were still in the Colony at the time of the Census; these were British 187, aliens 10; of the British 43 were in the employ of the Dock Companies. Of these many had had a tour of duty elsewhere in the meantime in various parts of the Far East. If the year 1914 is taken, the figures are British 270, aliens 16. In the case of adult females the figures would be still lower. Except for a few professional men, employees of the Dock Companies and Civil servants, the European population almost completely changes every 5 years. Most of the employees of the various firms only complete one tour of duty here, and then after the expiration of their home leave are transferred elsewhere. These facts fully explain the allegations of the lack of public spirit in the Colony.
6. Alteration of location.-In 1911 the upper levels west of Peel Street, and south of Caine and Bonham Roads, part of the European reservation so called, were occupied almost entirely by non-Chinese mostly Europeans; in this Census the figures are non- Chinese 463, Chinese 4,658, and of the non-Chinese few are Europeans except within and near the University. East of Garden Road and south of the Military Reservation, a district formerly occupied entirely by Europeans with the exception of 3 Boarding Houses, very few Europeans are now found, most of the houses being occupied by Japanese of the merchant class.
The Portuguese have largely moved to Kowloon, where a new Garden City has been formed at Ho Mun Tin near the Yaumati Railway Station, and another large scheme at Kowloon Tong is under consideration for their accommodation. They have suffered more acutely than any other part of the community from the rapacity of absentee landlords and lessees who were enabled to raise their rents enormously owing to the influx of rich Chinese refugees from Canton during the last ten years seeking temporary house accommodation at any price.
The Europeans displaced from the upper levels have partly removed to flats in Kowloon, partly to the Hill District, the non-Chinese population of which increased by 17 per cent in spite of the fact that a large Boarding House was temporarily closed and that the number of houses remained about the same as in 1911. At the time of the Census a number of European houses were in course of erection or projected in the Hill District.
A beginning has been made with the developement for residential purposes of the south side of the Island, rendered accessible by the construction of good motor roads, the pioneers being the Hongkong Hotel Co., who have erected a palatial hotel at Repulse Bay.

Section III.-New Territories.
(Tables IX to XVIII).
1. The Census of the New Territories was begun on March 24th and completed in about three weeks. The work was supervised by the Police Officer in charge of each district, who had under him a head enumerator and a sufficient number of assistants selected from the inhabitants of the district. All enumerators were carefully instructed beforehand, and I visited personally all the districts on the mainland and examined them as to their knowledge of their duties before they commenced work. The enumerators obtained the required information direct from the heads of each household and themselves entered it in specially prepared books of convenient size. The Census of 1911 was taken by the European Police Officers themselves accompanied by interpreters, the time taken was over three months and the work very arduous especially during the hot weather. The
460-
system adopted this time proved very successful, and while relieving the European Police of a very laborious task, interested a number of the better educated inhabitants directly in the Census. In future by increasing the number of enumerators it will be possible to curtail considerably the time required, but the use of schedules will remain impossible, partly owing to the general lack of education, and partly owing to the distribution of the population which is scattered through 600 villages and hamlets, few of which contain 500 inhabitants.
Outlying islands and inaccessible fishing villages and huts were enumerated by the crews of the Police patrol launches.
The work of the enumerators were somewhat hindered by the absence of most of the able-bodied population all day long in the fields, every one being busy with the prepara- tions for planting the first spring crops. This difficulty was partly surmounted by send- ing Chinese constables a day in advance of the enumerators, and warning the heads of the household to be at home to meet the enumerator.
The work appears to have been done very thoroughly, for which great credit is due to Divisional Inspector Boulger and his Chinese interpreter Mr. Kwok, who were indefati- gable in the preliminary preparations and subsequent general supervision. The Police Officers in charge of the Districts also took a keen interest in the success of the undertaking.
2. Alteration of Boundaries.-Since 1911 the District of Tsun Wan has been trans- ferred from the Northern to the Southern District: while Shamshuipo and Kowloon City, which for some purposes are still included in the Southern District, have for Census pur- poses been included under Kowloon Peninsula in recognition of the fact that they are ra- pidly becoming urban districts, and that municipal services have been extended to them.
3. Northern District. The population of the Northern District - shows a slight decrease, which would have been greater had not the Tsing Ming festival brought back many males to their native villages. The opening of the Railway seems, contrary to expectations, to have produced little change; market supplies for Hongkong still come from the Canton Delta as before, and paddy still remains the predominant crop. Very few houses for European accommodation have been erected, and those few, mostly erected shortly after the opening of the Railway, have not proved popular, and have had many changes of tenants. The truth is that land worth cultivating is very limited, and that there are no suitable building sites available which are accessible to Hongkong and which might induce Europeans and Chinese of the richer classes to create country homes in the New Territories to the north of the Kowloon Hills, as was anticipated at the opening of the Railway
༣ .
A European Reservation has been created on Cheungchow Island as a summer resort for missionaries and others from the interior. The summer visitors had not arrived at the date of the Census.
4. Sexes. The number of females in the Northern District exceeds that of males by 256, the excess in 1911 being 2,345. The difference is probably a good criterion of the number of males who returned for the Tsing Ming festival.
In the Southern District on the other hand males exceed the females by 2,271, against 3,427 in 1911, Tsing Ming here also probably accounts for the reduced number of males, the population of the Southern District containing a large number who were born elsewhere and would naturally return home at this season.
5. Families.-The number of children in a family is small; this is due partly to early marriage, the daughters, leaving home, young, partly to the young boys leaving to seek employment and partly to the emigration of young girls as muitsai' or 'sanpotsai'. It must also be remembered that a certain number of males who have emigrated only marry when they return late in life. Extremely few large families were noticed.
:
6. Ages. The age tables have been adjusted to the European method of reckoning; this was not done in the report for 1911 when the total number of children under 1 for the whole of the New Territories was recorded as 111. For the first 4 years the number of > males and females is fairly equal, but thereafter the males greatly exceed the females. This difference cannot be accounted for by immigration, since the number of child immigrants of either sex is about level, but reference to the table of ages of 'muitsai' in
+
<<

I

161
Hongkong may afford some clue, the number of 'muitsai "increasing from 6 upwards. But if this is an partial explanation, the migration must be to China since very few muitsai' were recorded as born in the New Territories Another possible explanation is that many very young girls are sent into China assanpotsaior prospective brides to be brought up in the family of their prospective: husband: till they reach the age for marriage. This custom is very prevalent in the San On District to which the New Territories once belonged, especially among the Hakkas, and it was noticed that a far larger number of married women were born outside the New Territories than married men, so obviously there must be an exchange of females to adjust the difference but of a different age. It must however be remembered that far greater care is taken of boys, and the probability is that the death rate for girls is somewhat higher.
7. Marriage Age. The commonest age for marriage seems to be for males 18 to 20, for females: 16 to 20. At 17 the married females begin to exceed the unmarried, while in the case of males this point is not reached till between 20 and 25. After 25 the number of unmarried females becomes infinitesimal, while that of unmarried males remains considerable till: 45.
8. Duration of Life. At the present time the population of the Northern District can be taken as typical of rural China, there being comparatively few immigrants except from the San On District of which it was formerly a part; most of the males who leave emigrate before 25, while the majority of the immigrants are over 25. The following comparison therefore of the wastage between 25 and 60 may be instructive:—

9. Birthrate.-The expectation of life in England at 60 is for males 12.93 years, for females 1412, but in the New Territories North it must be taken as about half these figures.
There is no system for birth registration in the New Territories, but from a calcula- tion based on the Census returns and the death rate for infants for the area of the Colony under the control of the Sanitary Department, I estimate the birthrate to be about 35 -per thousand.
10. Widows. The large number of widows recorded, 5,500, shows that the prejudice against remarriage remains as strong as ever, while the number of widowers is compara- tively high, which probably is due to poverty, the man not being able to afford the expense of a second marriage.
•
11. Nationality and Birthplace. No question as to nationality was asked, but it was assigned in accordance with the birthplace. For the Northern District 60,254 are record- ed as born in the New Territories, i.e., by far the greater portion of the inhabitants, thus

constituting the only stable portion of the population of the Colony, who can be said to be domiciled in the strict sense of the term. 3,497 are shown as born in the neighbouring district of San On against 1,779, the increase is mostly amongst males and is undoubted- ly to be ascribed to the Tsing Ming festival: those born in Hongkong are 1,434 against 2,393 in 1911, the decrease being entirely among females. A considerable number of wives come from San On and Hongkong. The numbers of natives of other districts in China remain practically unchanged.
12. Education.-Males able to read and write have increased by 3,449, females by 439. The female part of the population still remains almost wholly uneducated, only 674 being educated. The effect of the increase in the number of vernacular schools is just becoming apparent in the case of the males. The Northern District is a far more pro- mising field for elementary education than Hongkong owing to the far greater stability of the population. In Hongkong itself very few of the children born ever remain to marry and settle down permanently.
13. Occupations. With the exception of a few small shopkeepers and the fishermen, the whole of the permanent part of the population is engaged in agriculture, children going to work in the fields as soon as they can walk. Though comparatively few women are returned as farmers, it must be understood that in their spare time they perform the same work in the fields as the men.
The majority of males given in other categories than agriculture are probably those who have returned to their native villages for the Tsing Ming festival.
A large number of females are reported as engaged in needlework, but this occupa- tion should in most cases be interpreted as domestic duties, and as denoting those who do not as a rule take any part in agriculture.
Several attempts have been made to open mines in the Northern district, but none with any success, and so far I am aware, none are being worked at present.
14. Child Labour.--No attempt has been made to catalogue the occupations of children. But the employment of children in the many light tasks which agriculture affords is universal from a very tender age. Children of both sexes also perform a large amount of work on fishing craft and sampans, often supplying the sole motive power, when the wind fails, the mother being at the tiller.
15. Muitsai-Muitsai number only 158 in all. Poverty and the common practice of purchasing a small girl (sanpotsai) as prospective bride to be brought up in the family of the future husband, render the demand for their services very small. Moreover the early marriage of her sons provides the New Territories mother with an effective and submissive substitute in the form of her daughter-in-law, who as a general rule resides with the husband's parents for many years after marriage.
Section IV.-Urban Population.
(Tables XIX to XXIII).
1: Ages: Birthrate.-The age tables have been adjusted to the European method of reckoning, but it is probable that some Chinese gave the age of children of one year according to the English method; this would make the adjusted figures for under one year slightly too high, and those for under two slightly too low. After taking various factors into consideration, I calculate the birthrate to be about 23 per thousand, a high figure considering that males outnumber females by 63 to 37. Based on the figures given for infantile mortality in the report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1920, the death rate of infants under one year works out at 296 per thousand births, a figure which almost agrees with the loss shown in the age table which works out at 298.. In the above calculations it is taken for granted that for all practical purposes emigra- tion is balanced by immigration. But during 1920 only 2,113 Chinese births were- actually registered, two males being registered to every one female. The use of such figures as these apart from the context in comparison with those for infantile deaths has. led to grossly exaggerated statements about infantile mortality in the Colony.

2. Duration of Life.-After 40 there is a very marked decrease and a still greater fall between 50 and 55. In comparison with the settled Chinese population of the Northern district of the New Territories such decrease seem to be normal, though in the urban districts till very recent years many Chinese, as soon as they had amassed a com- petency according to their station, returned to their native villages. This is only so in a minor degree at present, for although wages are higher, the cost of living has rise greatly, as well as the standard of living, and a considerably longer period of work is vossary before a man can retire to the country. The number of persons of 50 and above has in- creased 65 13 per cent as compared with 1911, against a total increase in the population of 51 per cent, a figure which also affords a clear proof of the greatly increased stability of the population.
3. Sexes. Up to the age of five the numbers of males and females are practically equal; from six to twelve females exceed the males; this is due partly to the custom of sending boys at the age of seven back to the country or Canton to receive their Chinese education, partly to the import of muitsai nearly all of whom come from outside the Colony. From the age of fourteen upwards males largely exceed females, since at this age boys come to the Colony for higher education or to be apprenticed in various trades or to find work.
4. Married State.---Marriage before 18 is comparatively uncommon and during the last 10 years there has been an increasing tendency for the marriage age to rise. By 25 most of the females are married, the unmarried residue being probably mostly prostitutes or ex-prostitutes, while in the case of the males it is not until the age of 35 that the majority are married.
In 1911 there were 69 males to 31 females, in the present Census 63 males to 37 females, but only 33 married females to 67 married miles, the figures for 1911 being 28 to 72; the difference is due to the large number of widows, which show an in rease over 1911 of 159 per cent, while the widowers only show an increase of 19 per cent. The continued residence of widows in the Colony after the death of their husban ls shows a very remarkable change in the customs of the population in ten years. Formerly on the death of the husband the widow returned to the country; now she evidently remains in Hongkong where she can if necessary find work in the various industries which are beginning to spring up.
Concubines show a very large increase from 1,200 in 1911 to 2,974. There were in addition 79 concubines whose status was irregular. This great increase in concubinage is due to the wealthier classes bringing their families to the Colony; in several families five or more were found, but the wealthy who possess a large number generally accommodate them in more than one house, therefore no large establishments were noticed. This great increase in concubinage of 136 per cent is remarkable in view of the vastly im- prov. d status of women as a whole in the Colony and the increase in the feeling against the custom among the enlightened classes. But at least among the new comers the custom seems as popular as ever, and large numbers of youthful concubines were found. The number of married women including concubines has increased by 76 per cent.
5. Nationality.--Out of 45,924 persons born in the British Empire only 15,645 claimed British nationality, which can be interpreted that only so many may be consi- dered permanently domiciled in the Colony. Out of 1,647 born in Macau only 251 claimed Portuguese nationality.
6. Birthplace. As in 1911 the bulk of the population are immigrants from the Delta districts of the neighbouring province of Kwongtung. There is an increase in the natives of other provinces from 3,729 to 6,037. The number born in Hongkong is 43,275 against about 23,000 in 1911 and 1,523 in 1897; however the figures for these two years are not quite reliable for the purposes of comparison. The number born in the New Territories is 2,241. This is apparently a reduction on 1911 figures which were about 3,000, after making certain deductions; the reduction in the males would be accounted for by their return to their birthplaces for the Tsing Ming festival. The people of the Northern District of the New Territories seem to have very little inclination to migrate to the city to earn their livelihood.
7. Education. The proportion of males able to read and write is 65 35 against 7443 in 1911, females 11:55 against 17.91 in 1911, a distinct retrograde movement, which well demonstrates the difficulty of dealing with a constantly shifting population like that of Hongkong from the educational stand point.
164
8. Migratory nature of the Population. The population still remains to a large extent migratory, a large proportion of it going backwards and forwards between the Colony and China. In 1920 about 1,300,000 arrived from China and 120,000 from places overseas, 1,350,000 left for China, and about 100,000 for places overseas. The number of persons born in Hongkong is only 43,275, well distributed among all ages up to 50, and much rarer after that age. In 1897 the number of women of child bearing age was 28,423; this figure increased to 53,326 in 1911, and to 89,044 in 1921. Thus during this period of 24 years alone, the number of children born and successfully reared in the Colony must have been at least four times the number of all ages of Hongkong- born found still living in the Colony at the present Census. The number who claim British nationality, 15,645, is probably the best criterion by which to estimate the per- manently settled portion of the population. However the increase in the number of children, married women and widows shows that family life is increasing which makes for greater stability. It would be instructive in the next Census to ask for the length of residence in the Colony.
9. Occupation. The system on which occupations have been classified is far more elaborate than that used in 1911, and is based on the method of classification as revised for the 1921 Census of the United Kingdom. The number of separate entries has been increased from 146 to 475. Though in the instructions printed on the back of the schedule a special warning was given against inaccurate and vague descriptions of occupation, a large number contented themselves with describing their occupation as
>> (4

work business manager shop-assistant coolie "" artisan apprentice " etc.
The greatest increases are among the trades connected with metals being largely due to the activity of the two large shipyards. A large increase is also shown under the manufacture of clothes, but the large number of women returned as engaged in needlework is too high, and this term was probably used in very many cases as denoting simply household duties. The manufacture of hosiery and knitted goods especially in Yaumati has greatly increased of recent years, the employees being chiefly women.
A large number of women are also employed in cigarette making at Wanchai. The rattan furniture trade shows a greatly increased number of hands.
Seamen appear in very large numbers, this being due to the shipping slump which has especially affected the smaller tramp coasting steamers, of which a considerable number were laid up in this port at the date of the Census. The bulk of the population still depends on general commerce for their livelihood, but manufactures are gradually increasing, and Chinese seem more willing to embark their capital in industrial ventures than formerly. The chief manufacturing industries at present are ship-building, sugar- refining, manufacture of cigars and cigarettes; rope, paper, hosiery and knitted goods, preserved ginger and rattan furniture. Most of the other manufactures mentioned in the table are carried on on a small scale in shops employing less than 20 hands. Amongst the professions teachers have more than doubled.
The only note-worthy decrease is under the sale of opium from 139 to 60, due to stricter control over the sale of the drug.
10. Child Labour. Table XXIII, Part II.-In view of the interest aroused lately in the employment of young children, a special table has been devoted to the occupations of children under 14 (English reckoning). It will be seen that except in domestic work very few under 12 are employed. Children employed carrying building material are included under Orders XIII and XXII, which also include such occupations as painting, paint-scraping, scaffold-erecting, stone breaking and other miscellaneous light work. The large number of girls classified under "Manufacture of Clothing" is accounted for by the great tendency displayed to record females who had no other occupation than helping in the home as engaged in needlework. It is unlikely that more than half the young girls so recorded actually earn wages by needlework. Few male apprentices under 12 are recorded, the age when apprenticeship generally begins being 13 to 16. The chief manufactures in which child labour can be usefully employed are those of cigarettes and hosiery, recent introductions on the factory scale. At present factories properly so called are very rare, and most of the child labour engaged in manufacture is employed in small shops or at home. The large number of boys employed in domestic duties, i.e., in private houses, or as cooks in shops, is noteworthy, contrasted with the small number of free girls so employed. Considering the absence of any legal restraint on the employment of child labour, the numbers of
165
www
children actually employed in other than domestic work in proportion to the total number of children in the Colony appear very small; under 12 the number employed is 6,677 of whom 5,100 are employed in domestic duties mostly as "muitsai".
11. Muitsai.-Special steps were taken to ascertain the number of young girls engaged without remuneration in domestic service, known more commonly as "muitsai". a term which covers all young girls whose parents have assigned their rights of guardianship to other families for a monetary consideration, and whose labour is at the free disposal of the new guardian till the age for marriage. The numbers of those under 14 will be found classified according to age in Table XXIII, Part II, those of 14 and over in Table XXIII. The numbers are for New Territories North 119, New Territories South 39, Island of Hongkong 7,891, Kowloon 600, Floating Population 4; a total of 8,653, of which there are 5,959, under 14 and 2,532, of 14 and over. Of these 2,532, I estimate that 30 per cent are under 15, 25 per cent under 16, 20 per cent under 17, 12 per cent under 18, 8 per cent under 19, 5 per cent 19 and above. The majority were found in the City of Victoria between Eastern Street and Glenealy and on the Upper Levels. Under the age of 5 there are very few; between the ages of 10 and 14 the numbers are very equal for each age. The eldest noticed was aged 35, several were returned as married, and a few as widows, these evidently had found the homes of their old masters more comfortable than those of their husbands. The majority are uneducated, but in the Upper Levels where the better classes live, and the greatest proportion of muitsai are found, those able to read and write formed 9 per cent of the total. I estimate that above the age of 19 there are only about 150. The general age for marriage seems to be between 17 and 19, most being married at 18 or before. Very few were recorded as born in British Territory, or in the provinces of China outside Kwongtung. No effort was made to classify the birthplaces since in the large majority of cases this is really unknown, and Canton is entered instead, that being the place whence the sellers of the girls came. very few cases was the surname the same as that of the master or mistress, showing they did not come from the same clan. In many cases no surname was given at all, which was probably correct, the surnames being quite unknown, though later on they would doubtless be known under the surname of the family to whom they belonged. Kwongsai and South West Kwongtung, which used to supply a large number of 'muitsai', did not figure largely among the birthplaces, but the sources of supply are apt to vary according to the state of prosperity and order in the various districts. No "muitsai" as such were recorded in the families of the Portuguese and Indian population, but some young Chinese girls were found described as servants or adopted daughters, whose real status probably approximated to that of the 'muitsai' in a Chinese family. I am informed that formerly 'muitsai' were common in most Portuguese families of standing. Very few young girls are employed as hired domestic servants, the "Chu Lin (Nin) Mui" or girl hired by the year, who has been suggested as a substitute for the 'muitsai', does not appear to be popular, but there are on the other hand a large number of boys between the ages of 12 and 14 employed in domestic work in Chinese households. 122 young girls were described as "Yuk Nui" a term which in most cases denotes the same status.
In
Section V. Floating Population.
(Tables XXVIII to XXXIV.)
1. The floating population at Shaukeiwan, Aberdeen, Tai-O and Cheungchow was taken by enumerators under the supervision of the police officers in charge of each station. The main task, that of Victoria Harbour, was in the hands of the Water Police under Inspector Angus. A large force of enumerators was engaged.
Each craft was boarded and the required particulars obtained from the person in charge and entered directly in specially prepared books. As soon as each vessel was taken, a cross in white or black was painted on a conspicuous part. One European officer was assign- ed to each section of the Harbour and placed in charge of a launch and a group of sampans carrying two enumerators each. The work commenced at 7 a.m. on Saturday April 23rd in the Harbours of Refuge and along the sea front, harbour craft only being
166
dealt with on this day. On Sunday the 24th the whole force was mobilised consisting of (9 enumerators, 31 sampans, 9 Government launches, and 2 Naval Yard launches kindly placed at my disposal by the Naval Authorities; motor boats were also used for inspec- tion work at various times, which worked from 7 a m. to 7 p.m. On Monday a reduced force was used, while by Tuesday little remained undone and the number of enumerators was much reduced. On Wednesday only 3 enumerators were placed on the Police patrol launches in case any stragglers had been missed; these proved to be very few indeed. The Census of the harbour was thus taken in 4 days instea 1 of 7 as in 1911, and I am convinced that if a sufficient number of enumerators and sanpans are employed under efficient supervision, the work can be completed in 3 days. The enumerators assembled at the Water Police Station at 6.45 a m. every day and returned about 7 p.m. to report; they had previously been carefully instructed in their duties. Their work was well done on the whole, but they were rather dilatory on the first day, partly because the supervision was inefficient; this was chiefly owing to the European Police officer in charge of each section being unable from his launch to keep his sampans in sight, because they carried no distinguishing flag; this important point should not be omitted in the next Census. Uniform marking of each kind of craft when dealt with is also very important. A good deal of time was wasted because enumerators could not tell at a glance if a particular vessel had been enumerated. All European and Chinese members of the Water Police engaged worked extremely well in spite of the long hours
necessary.
2. To avoid delay and inconvenience arrangements were made with the Ferry, Dock, Godown, Water Boat and Sugar Refinery Companies, whereby the crews of their harbour craft were enumerated by their own staffs.
3. The issue of Sunday cargo working permits to vessels loading and unloading in the stream was restricted as much as possible, as it is impossible to take the Census pro- perly when many craft are moving about the harbour, or clustered round a ship working
cargo.
4. The number enumerated in Victoria harbour i.e., from Green Island to Quarry Bay was 38,854, an increase of 301 per cent on the figures for 1911. The figures for 1911 showed only a small increase over 1901 due to the terrible typhoon of September, 1906 when 11,000 lives were lost in the IIarbour: the figures for this year show that the natural increase has again begun, and that the losses of the great disaster have been fully repaired. Had it not been for the great slump in Shipping and Trade which pre- vailed and caused many of the floating population to seek means of livelihood for the time being elsewhere, the figures would have been considerably higher. Aberdeen and Stanley show a decrease of 773, Shaukeiwan an increase of 374; the lowness of these figures is accounted for partly by a succession of bad fishing seasons, and partly by the good weather prevailing at the time of the Census which enabled the smaller fishing craft to remain outside the harbours; for there are a large number of small fishing sampans which in fine weather put out quite long distances from Shaukeiwan and Aberdeen, and remain out some days.
5. The deep sea fishing fleet and their attendant salt junks were mostly absent, while the number of trading junks present in the harbour was rather smaller than usual.
6. No attempt was made to enumerate the persons on board sea going ships in the harbour. As Hongkong is only a port of call for a large number, their stay in port is short, and the addition of the crews and passengers to the figures gives a purely fictitious addition to the population, while the expense and difficulty of boarding each individual ship on the Sunday afternoon throughout this extensive harbour make the task not worth while attempting, when the figures for the crews can be obtained from the Harbour Office records without any trouble and expense. Chinese crews show a large decrease while non-Chinese crews show a large increase chiefly due to Indian guards on local steamers, Japanese and Americans. There has been a marked tendency recently to increase the number of non-Asiatics carried by the larger ships, especially the liners on the run to Europe and America.
7. 10,410 small craft in all of various classes were enumerated. The numbers enumerated in the Harbours of Hongkong, Aberdeen and Shaukeiwan, 8,918, show the completeness of the Census in the Home waters, the total number of licences issued in 1920 being 9,848; after making due allowances for absence at sea, and loss during the
167
year from various causes, this leaves very few unaccounted for. The figures for the New Territories are not so satisfactory, but here it must be remembered that at Tai O and Cheungchow a large proportion of the fishing fleet is at sea at any given time, while a certain number of licensed boats are only used occasionally and not as dwellings, and it is impossible to encounter all the sampans, which are always on the move, during a cruise in a launch along the much indented coast line of the New Territories.
8. Sexes.-The proportion of females show little change, and is still much below that of the males being 41 28 to 58.72. One reason for this is the presence of junks from places in China whose crews leave their families at home; and another that the crews of launches, ferryboats, etc., have their families living ashore.
9. Birthplaces.-68 per cent were born within British waters, of the remainder nearly half were born in the neighbourhood of Canton, where there is a huge floating population; the other districts bordering on the Canton Delta account for most of the remainder. The number of immigrants is far higher on the occasion of this Census as the great losses of 1906 have been replaced largely by immigration. There are a num- ber of Hakka males from the Waichow district, and of Hoklos from the Swatow district. These are quite distinct from the remainder of the floating population; unlike the majority who speak a patois of Cantonese, they speak their own languages, and in the case of the Hoklos their vessels are of a different build and they rarely take their families to sea with them. Those born in British Waters, the Canton Delta, and Macau are all akin and represent according to some anthorities the remnant of the indigenous population of South China, the ancient Kingdom of Yuet, which was gradually displaced by Chinese invaders from the North. They differ in features and physique from the Cantonese land population, the difference being especially marked in the case of females. They are regarded as outcasts by the remainder of the population, with whom they very rarely intermarry. They form the oldest portion of the inhabitants. of the Colony, their intercourse with foreigners being more intimate owing to their attendance on shipping in the Canton River. They were the first to follow the foreign trading fleet when it took refuge in Hongkong Harbour, before the desolate and barren Island became British.
-
10. Nationality.-Nationality was assigned in accordance with the birthplace given, no questions being asked by the enumerators on this point, since such a question would puzzle extremely the ignorant women of the floating population, who would do all the talking when the enumerator visited their floating home.
11. Education.-The figures given for education are not very reliable as in some cases the enumerators failed to carry out their instructions properly and the opinion of the women from whom much of the information had to be obtained was of little value. The number of women who can read and write I consider fairly correct, but the number of males is much too high; probably only 20 per cent at most of the males can read and write. The children have little opportunity to learn as their floating home is always on the move.
Excepting those employed on launches and foreign owned lighters, there are extremely few of the true floating population, who could write a simple letter in Chinese; figures and a few easy characters are all that most of those who claim to be able to read and write would be able to write if actually put to the test. Among the fishing population at Shaukeiwan and Aberdeen there are very few who can read and write.
12. Ages.--Up to the age of 7 females exceed males by 22; after that age males exceed females, moderately up to 13, but thereafter at a greatly increasing rate till at 18 males are twice as numerous. After 7 there is a marked falling off in the numbers of females, possibly partly accounted for by recruiting for brothels, very large numbers of whose inmates are drawn from the floating population. Compared with the urban po- pulation there is far greater proportionate loss shown after 40 and again after 55, while the numbers of old people of 60 and above are proportionately higher, being 3.3 per cent against 2-4 per cent for the urban population, the reason being that the aged in the case of the floating population have no village in the country to which to retire to spend their declining days. But the general effect of the table is to show that the duration of life amongst the floating is somewhat shorter than that of the urban population. It is noteworthy that by 25 nearly all the females are married, most being married before 20, the average age for marriage being apparently lower than for the urban population. Married males under 30 exceed the unmarried by about twice, while for the urban po- pulation the excess is three times; the average age of marriage for males therefore appears to be higher than in the case of the urban population.

Section VI.-Staff and Cost.
(Tables XXXV to XXXVII.)
1. Enumerators-Hongkong and Kowloon.-The number of enumerators employed. was 526 in all. Enumerators for Hongkong and Kowloon were recruited directly by me. I dealt with over 500 applicants, of whom about 400 were found qualified after an examination in Chinese writing. No special recruiting steps were required, and I was. unable to use all who passed the test, but it was necessary to keep a large number in reserve, as no fewer than 97 who had been appointed to sections failed to present themelves when called up to receive their final instructions. This was mostly due to the Tsing Ming Festival causing men to return home just before the date when their services were required. Some failed to present themselves at the very last moment, and in several cases only one of the pair of enumerators attended to receive his schedules, and sub- sequently after beginning the distribution came back and reported that his colleague had gone off to the country, asking for a substitute. Thus a large amount of the care and trouble devoted to the previous instruction was wasted, and untrained men had to be launched forth, as it was impossible at the very last moment carefully to instruct the substitutes, when every second of my time was fully occupied. Some of the enumerators after distributing their schedules returned home for the Festival, and thus commenced the collection a few days late. In one case the enumerator collected his schedules, locked them up in his cubicle and returned to his native village for Tsing Ming before handing in his schedules. Had it not been for the enumerators of two sections, the preliminary report would have been ready nearly a week earlier. With the exception of six sections all the schedules had been handed in by May 3rd. The work on the whole was surprisingly well done considering the difficulties caused by the Tsing Ming Festival, but I must acknowledge that the defection of so many trained enumerators at the very last moment caused me grave anxiety for the ultimate success of the under- taking. The classes of enumerators found most suitable were office boys, boys employed in clubs, and shop foki's; the work did not commend itself to the junior clerk class, and very few of the numerous applicants for clerical posts could be induced to help as enumerators. Portuguese enumerators were employed for the first time for the non- Chinese portion of Tsimshatsui, but one left his work only just begun without reporting, thus causing great confusion on the very day before the Census, when his absence from the Colony was discovered, and necessitating the redistribution among the others. Enumerators were paid $10 each and in certain cases, owing to the distance of their section from their homes or the Census Office, sums varying from $1 to $3 as travelling expenses. In most cases I was able to select a sufficient number of enumerators, who lived close to their sections.
2. New Territories.-Enumerators for the New Territories were selected by the Police officers in charge of each district, special care being taken to select men from different parts of the district, so that they should not have to waste time going to and fro from their homes: they were paid $15, and in a few cases various sums for travelling expenses, when they had to spend a night away from their homes in the more inaccessible parts of the Territory; the Head enumerator in each district received $40. They all took great interest in their work which they carried out very satisfactorily and expeditiously. No difficulty was experienced in obtaining in each district sufficient suitable candidates. In two small districts the Police Sergeant Interpreter acted as Head Enumerator receiving a small gratuity for the extra work involved.
3. Harbour.-Enumerators for the Harbour were selected partly by me from my general list, men accustomed to harbour work being preferred, and partly by the Water Police. They were paid $3 per day and 50 cents for travelling expenses and food. They reported each day at the Water Police Station at 6.45 a.m. and rarely returned ashore till 7 p.m.; the work was very arduous and in many cases unpleasant, and most of them well earned the comparatively high pay given. Small gratuities were given to the Chinese crews of the Government launches employed, in recognition of the great assistance which they rendered.
4. PoliceThis year in accordance with the conditions of the new scale of pay no individual allowances were made to the European Police officers engaged, but donations were made to the Headquarters Water Police and New Territories Canteens.
169
5. District Watchmen.-Allowances to the district watchmen engaged in the Census were paid at the rate of $7 for Head watchmen, and $4 for watchmen. The Head watchmen were not called on to do any preliminary work this year.
6. Clerks. One supervisor and 29 Chinese clerks were originally engaged, of these two were dismissed very early for incompetency, three were discharged to reduce the overcrowing of the office, three resigned, and four were subsequently taken on of whom one resigned almost at once. The supervisor who had served as clerk and interpreter in the last Census received $120 per month, the chief clerk for the non-Chinese section $60 and his assistant $40, the other clerks who only required to know Chinese $30. One clerk assisted at a Census for the 4th time. Owing largely to the stagnation of trade, I had a very large number of applicants to select from, and as care and industry were the chief requisites, it was not difficult to get together in the end a fairly adequate staff. As usual the non-Chinese section proved the weakest, and I had personally to do a very large proportion of the work in this section myself, as well as preparing most of the tables, and classifying the occupations of both sections according to the new classification used in a Hongkong census for the first time. It is very difficult to find temporary Chinese clerks of good character and ability with sufficient experience and knowledge of English for the posts of supervisor and chief clerk of the non-Chinese section, and I strongly recommend that for the next Census two clerks of the permanent service, one 2nd grade and one 4th grade, be temporarily detached for Census duty. Such an arrangement would have saved me a good deal of trouble and anxiety and would probably have considerably expedited the work. Both my senior clerks proved to be men of feeble health, and were absent through sickness for considerable periods, one finally having to resign when the work was half completed, and they were also lacking in the requisite experience.
•
The attendance of the junior clerks was rather irregular especially in the last half of the time, in spite of the fact that they received no pay for days of absence. In all over 150 working days were lost through absence.
7. Cost. The cost of the Census was $22,146.87 of which $9,307.76 was for print- ing, which had to be executed this year by the Government printers, because the work could not be undertaken at Victoria Gaol as in former years. The cost in 1911 was $9,115 which did not include any printing. The cost for the present Census, considering the great increase in the numbers dealt with and the rise in wages throughout the Colony, and the shorter time required for the Census of the New Territories and Harbour, compares very favourably with that of 1911.

HONGKONG.
REPORT ON HONGKONG FIRE BRIGADE AND PROPOSALS FOR INCREASING ITS EFFICIENCY.
Laid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor, 18th July, 1921.
No.
7 1921
*
Various criticisms have been levelled at the Hongkong Fire Brigade from time to time and more so recently as a result of an unusually large crop of fires which have had to be dealt with within the past 6 months.
I
propose to deal with the whole question of the Fire service under the following
heads:-
(I) The Personnel of the Brigade.
(II) The Equipment (a) on land and (b) on the water. (c) Fire Stations.
(III) The Water Supply and Water Pressure, which is the concern of the Water Authority but which very materially enters into the question of fire protection.
(IV) The Cost of the Brigade.
(I.) The Personnel.
The Fire Brigade consists at present of:-
1 Superintendent, C.S.P.,
1 Assistant Superintendent, Chief Inspector,
1 Engineer, The Assistant Marine Surveyor, H.O.,
1 Assistant Engineer and Station Officer, a Professional Fireman from the
London Fire Brigade,
1 Assistant Station Officer, a Professional Fireman from the London Fire
Brigade,
a number of Motor Drivers, Fitters, Blacksmith, Carpenter, etc., as enumerated in Appendix A.
6 Foremen--4 European: 2 Chinese.
78 Firemen--37 European: 41 Chinese.
4 Interpreters-Chinese.
The Floating Engines, 2 in number, have in addition 14 men in all not included in the above total, e.g., 2 Foremen (European), Engineers, Stokers and Seamen (Chinese). The Officers of the Brigade include two professional firemen both drawn from the London Fire Brigade, and 2 Foremen and 41 Firemen are Chinese professional firemen locally trained by the Assistant Engineer and Station Officer. The remaining 4 Foremen and 37 Firemen are drawn from the European Section of the Hongkong Police as are also the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent. The Engineer who is in the Government Marine Surveyor's Sub-Department acts chiefly in the capacity of Consulting Engineer to the Fire Brigade. The A.S.P. Water Police (usually the Assistant Harbour Master) is in charge of the Fire Floats. The Superintendent of the Brigade and the Assistant Superintendent (Fire Floats) receive no remuneration for their services. The duties of the Superintendent are mainly administrative.
48
2. Criticism of the personnel has been mainly directed against the performance of Fire Brigade duties by Police Officers who in the ordinary course of their duties have plenty to do, and it is argued that they cannot efficiently perform the two functions of Police and Firemen. This is true and particularly so when there is a large crop of fires as has occurred during the past 6 months. It may also be said with equal truth that with the development of the Colony, particularly the City of Victoria and the Kowloon Peninsula, the present arrangements are likely to lead to more marked in- efficiency in the Brigade in the future. The work of the Brigade is increasing year by year and the question must now be considered whether it should not be reconstituted by eliminating the Police Volunteers and substituting therefor a purely professional Fire Brigade consisting of a small number of professional European firemen with a locally trained Chinese Staff of firemen.
3. The arguments in favour of the present system are mainly that the European Police Firemen though not highly trained have more initiative, are more daring and work harder and more efficiently than the average Chinese Fireman, particularly at the commencement of operations when steadiness and initiative may mean the saving of lives and much valuable property. From my own personal experience at fires, I must admit that the Chinese Firemen as a whole do not at present show either any great initiative or any over great zeal in the performance of their duties. I cannot help thinking, however, that this is mainly due to the fact that they lack the necessary opportunity to display the qualities required of a good fireman. At present they do what I may call the coolie work of the Brigade only, such as running out and coupling up hose and generally assisting the European Firemen, who hold all positions of responsibility. When the outbreak is got under they stand by and make up the hose which again is only the manual labour of the Brigade. Properly and regularly drilled and working together under professional guidance, I am satisfied that they would become thoroughly efficient and by reason of the experience gained in working together at fires, they should in time become quite capable of dealing successfully with outbreaks of fire.
4. One obvious drawback of the present system is the division of the Brigade into European and Chinese sections. Most of the European Firemen do not speak Chinese and confusion is apt to arise from the failure of the one to understand the other. In this connection it will be essential in any reorganization of the Brigade that the Europeans in Charge should be sufficiently acquainted with Chinese to make themselves understood. Again the control exercised over the European Firemen (who are first and foremost policemen) by the professional European Staff is not as satisfactory as it would be were all the men under their entire control. The arrangements necessary under present conditions, which at times place a Senior Police Officer under the orders of a junior professional fireman or even a junior Police Officer, who has become a foreman in the Brigade by reason of his outstanding merit, obviously lead to friction at times. Needless to say, such an arrangement is avoided as far as possible but cannot be entirely elimi- nated in the Brigade as at present constituted.
5. By having all the members of the Brigade entirely under his control, by giving all the members an equal share in all the work of the Brigade and by having the same men always working together at fires, the Officer in charge should be able in time to bring the Chinese firemen up to a level of efficiency even greater than that attained at present under the mixed Brigade system. The matter of equipment will of course also enter very largely into the question of the efficiency of the Brigade, but first and foremost the personnel must be thoroughly trained in the performance of its duties so that each man knows the precise nature of his particular work on each occasion, and all mixing up of sections and duties which is unavoidable where the same men are not always available may be entirely eliminated. With firemen drawn from the Police, only those available i.c., off Police duty at the time of the outbreak can be made use of, and they necessarily differ from day to day. It is thus but rarely possible to get the same men working together and efficiency must suffer in consequence.
6. My recommendations, as far as the personnel of the Brigade is concerned, are set forth in detail in Appendix B. The following table shows the principal changes proposed :-

7. The main changes proposed consist in abolishing the European Firemen includ- ing the Assistant Superintendent and substituting therefor Chinese Firemen with three professional European Firemen in charge instead of 2 as at present. It is proposed 19 retain the European Foremen and Motor Drivers who are members of the Police Force until such time as the Chinese are sufficiently trained to carry on by themselves. The Chief Executive Officer of the Brigade, it is proposed, shall be an officer of the rank and experience of a Superintendent in the London Fire Brigade In the London Fire Brigade such an officer now draws a salary of £475-£575 with quarters. proposed to offer this officer a salary of £600-£900 by £25 annually so as to get a really efficient man. The Captain Superintendent of Police will remain in administrative charge of the Fire Brigade as Chief Officer. The number of firemen will be increased by 2 only but it must be remembered that instead of having 78 firemen many of whom are not always available, there will now be 80 men whose entire services are at the d sposal of the Superintendent. This number is exclusive of all special services, such als Motor Drivers, mechanics, fitters, carpenters, etc., and the staff required to run the two Fire Floats. It must also be borne in mind that the Brigade has only recently been strengthened by the addition of 1 professional European Assistant Station Officer and 17 firemen. The number proposed should therefore suffice for the present, but it may be necessary to supplement this number when additional fire fighting apparatus is acquired. Minor changes include the addition of Drivers. and Attendants for the two
ཡི
50
new Ambulances which are on order and which are now included in the Fire Service. It is considered that the Motor Ambulance service can most profitably be attached to the Fire Brigade as it is in London.. A Motor Mechanic is also added and allowance is made for an Engineer with the requisite technical knowledge who will be attached to the Brigade. Further it is essential that a proper staff of Interpreters and Telephone Clerks should now be provided. Each European officer is therefore provided with an Intex preter as in the Sanitary Department. These Interpreters will also do the clerical work of the Brigade. The Telephone Clerks will provide an uninterrupted telephone service to answer calls at both stations, c.g., Headquarters and Kowloon.
Drivers.-There are 15 at present of whom 5 are professional chauffeurs and 10 European Policemen. It is proposed to provide two drivers for each machine. There will be before the end of 1921 :-
2 Motor Tenders.
5 Motor Pumps.
requiring 20 drivers in all ......
3 Motor Ambulances. 10 1st Class at $480-$600 p.a. 10 2nd Class at $360-$420 p.a.
Good drivers cannot be got under $40 p.m. but the Brigade can train its own men · as has been done in the past and thus obtain new men at a cheaper rate than outside.
8. It will be necessary to retain the steam engine drivers and stokers as they are required to man :-
(a) Steam Fire float at Aberdeen.
(6)
(e)
(d)
engine at Kowloon required as a stand by or for small fires.
Shaukiwan.
""
""
">
Un Long, New Territories.
""
These engines though small are still quite serviceable for the protection of outlying places. The floating engines will be taken over by the Superintendent of the Brigade and both floats will have full crews and be kept under banked fires, one float will be stationed on the Victoria and the other on the Kowloon side of the harbour. This arrangement will make it possible for one float to attend land fires near the shore with the least possible delay, and both will be available for ship fires. The Estimate of personnel allows for this new arrangement.
(II.)—Equipment.
Recent comments have laid stress on the inadequate equipment of the Fire Brigade, particularly afloat. I propose to deal with equipment :-
A. on land
B. afloat
C. Fire Stations.
A.-EQUIPMENT ON LAND.
The land equipment of the Brigade consists at present of:-
Motor Tender 1 (Victoria) with portable extension ladder 50 feet. Motor Pumps 3 (Victoria 2, Kowloon 1).
The Kowloon Motor Pump carries a portable Extension ladder 45 feet. Steain Fire Engines:-4

The plant required to deal successfully with large outbreaks of fire or with two or more simultaneous outbreaks, such as have occurred on several occasions recently is as follows:-
(a) 2 Motor Tenders
(b) 6 Motor Pumps 4 with extension ladders
VICTORIA. KOWLOON.

2

(c) 2 Turntable Ladders (85 feet Extension ladders)...
(d) 3 Way heads for connecting suction direct to mains (one per pump). (e) Hose, Standpipes, etc., in proportion to number of appliances.
(f) Nozzles. New nozzles with sprays and control as required. (g) Couplings.
(h) Hose Reels and Hose Despatch Boxes-Nil.
(j) Searchlights and Electric Torches :-as required.
(k) Street Fire Alarms. (Victoria only at present: at important points. (1) Smoke Helmets.
Taking the items in their order :---
(a) Motor Tenders,-No: 2.
One tender is old but still quite serviceable (Victoria). It carries a 50 feet ladder which will require renewal shortly as it is nearly worn out. Provision for this exists in the 1921 Estimates.
A tender is being provided in Kowloon by remodelling a large touring car recently acquired.
(6) Motor Pumps (Turbine), -No : 6.
3 are already in use. 2 of them are almost new. 2 are on order from England (Dennis pattern) and provision for these has been made in the 1921 Estimates. A supplementary vote will be required ($16,600) to cover increased prices and difference in rate of Exchange. 1 further pump is required and should be provided for in- the 1922 Estimates. This will give 4 pumps for Victoria and 2 for Kowloon which should be ample.
(e) Turntable Ladders,----No : 2.
These ladders are necessary to increase the efficiency of the Brigade in dealing with outbreaks in large buildings. The Brigade has none at present. They are worked electrically from a turntable on the chassis and are fitted with a nozzle which is fixed to the top rung of the ladder. The hose is connected to the nozzle and the fireman takes his place on the ladder before it is extended. The fireman works from the top of the ladder which is not placed against a wall and thus saves the running of hose through adjoining buildings and consequent damage by water. The ladder can be used as an escape in the usual manner. The length of the ladders used by the London Fire Brigade when fully extended is 85 feet. The Public Health and Buildings Ordinance provides for the supply of adequate escapes in large premises and these must necessarily be the direct means of escape in all buildings exceeding 4 stories as fire escapes cannot be effectively used for the upper stories of such buildings. Fixed escapes should be provided on the verandahs of the buildings where such exist. They should take the form of iron or re-inforced concrete staircases from floor to floor. Vertical ladders are dangerous,
52
NOTE. (See Description under Heading Turntable Ladders in Appendix C attached). The cost of each machine used by the London Fire Brigade was £2,300 (pre-war prices). Owing to the great cost of these machines it would be advisable to purchase I only for the present (1922 Estimates) and if successful, a second one could be purchased later. They would be for use in Victoria only.
(d) 3 Way Collecting heads:
It is proposed to carry one of these on each Motor Pump so as to pump direct from the mains thereby making use of the pressure in the mains to help the pump. This system is in general use in England where the mains are sufficiently large. In Hongkong the pumps have always been worked from a dam in the past. The use of the dam means a certain waste of water and loss of pressure in the mains, but it must be remembered that Motor pumps cannot be worked direct off small mains as the draw off is too great and they are liable to empty the mains.
(e) Hose and Standpipes:
These will be augmented in proportion to the increase in the number of fire appliances.
(f) Nozzles.
It is proposed to purchase a number of new nozzles fitted with controls and also sprays. The former are of great assistance to firemen wishing to change their position, as they can turn off the jet of water at the nozzle without having to signal to the Driver at the pump. All pumps in use or on order for Hongkong are built on models which make the use of the control possible without running the risk of bursting the hose. The sprays are useful to protect firemen who have to work very close to the fire or to play on smoul- dering ruins.
(g) Couplings.
The couplings in use in the Brigade are 23" with a machined round thread of 3" pitch similar to the London Fire Brigade. It has been suggested that automatic couplings are better and should be introduced. In this connection I beg to draw attention to the final paragraph of Appendix C in which the Chief Officer of the London Fire Brigade expresses his disagreement with this view except for the large hose used on floats. The same opinion was given to me by other Fire Officials who state that the springs in the automatic couplings give a great deal of trouble. I have personally never experienced any difficulty in connection with the couplings at present in use in the Brigade excepting the large sized hose.
In my recommendations concerning the floats I am asking for automatic couplings for the 4" hose.
(h) (a) Hose Reels, and (b) Hose Despatch Boxes.
The introduction of motor traction has rendered (a) unnecessary. They are therefore being done away with. (b) A number of despatch boxes which contain hose, standpipes and nozzles are still retained at all Fire Stations and Police Stations so that an outbreak adjacent to the Station can be tackled by the use of the street hydrants while the Motor Pumps are getting into position. The Despatch Boxes can also be taken by short routes to the scene of an outbreak along roads im- passable to Motor Pumps. In outlying districts where there is a good water supply, Despatch Boxes are also maintained for the same reason. They are handled by the Police and make it possible to get to work at once on an outbreak before the arrival of the Brigade,
:

() Searchlights & Electric Torches.
It is proposed to introduce these for use at fires to supplement the kerosine flares at present in use.
(k) Street Fire Alarms.
There are 12 in all and they cover the principal points in the City. It is proposed to fit them up with telephones so that they may be used for Police purposes as well, but the new system must remain in abeyance until sufficient cable is received to secure an efficient service. It has been found in practice that they are very little used by the public, who prefer to use the ordinary public telephone when a fire occurs. It is not proposed to extend the system outside the City unless a greater use is made of the existing alarms in the future.
(7) Smoke Helmets:
A satisfactory pattern of smoke helmet has not yet been procured for local use but experiments are in progress.
B.-Equipment A float.
The Floating equipment of the Fire Brigade consists of two Fire Floats :-
I powerful steam float with monitor capable of discharging 3,000 gallons per minute or in the alternative 8 ordinary 23" deliveries and four 4" deliveries.
1 small steam float with 6 deliveries (2-4′′ and 4-23′′).
1 land steamer mounted on a pontoon (Aberdeen).
4.
One float is always kept under banked fires ready to steam off to a fire on short notice. The second float is usually in reserve but is used to stand by at all Matshed Theatres situated near the water. This work also includes attendance at Matshed Theatres at places as far away as Aberdeen and Cheung Chau.
The land steamer mounted on a pontoon is used for fire protection at Aberdeen and Aplichau, this being the most satisfactory arrangement to safeguard these two villages, which are separated by Aberdeen Harbour.
It is not in my opinion necessary to supplement existing fire appliances afloat by any further motor or steam fire floats at present. Fires on ships in the harbour are fortunately of comparatively rare occurrence and in the circumstances, the very large outlay on a new motor fire float is not warranted by the work required、 The two Fire Floats are quite capable of dealing with ordinary fires on ships in the harbour, and should necessity arise, they can be supplemented by the large tugs employed by the Hongkong Whampoa Dock Co. and Tai Koo Dqck Co. both of which and particularly the former have very powerful fire pumps on board. \In this connection I recommend that an agreement be entered into with the Companies concerned to place their tugs fitted with fire fighting appliances at the disposal of the Fire Brigade in cases of emergency and if available at the time. With this addition I am satisfied that the shipping in the harbour will be adequately protected against fire.
The bulk of the work of the floats is in connection with fires on land and, owing to the peculiar situation of the City of Victoria and Kowloon, the floats are of very great service either in fighting the flames direct or in supplying the motor pumps with water, thereby also saving fresh water which is a matter of importance in the dry season. As the City and Kowloon both stretch out along the harbour for a great distance, the advisability of keeping both floats instead of one only under banked fires in future and providing a full crew for the No. 2 float has been considered, and full crews are recom- mended for both. One float would then do duty in Hongkong and one in Kowloon. The possibility of delay in getting across the harbour should thus be entirely eliminated Certain improvements on the floats are undoubtedly desirable. The re-arrangement of the hose lockers is receiving attention now, and will be taken in hand as soon as a satisfactory arrangement has been devised.
1
54
An electric light plant on No. 1 Fire Float has been approved and will be supplied forthwith. The float will be lighted up and clusters of lights worked from the float or in the alternative a searchlight. A portable searchlight should be carried on No. 2 float. A certain number of powerful oil lamps and also electric hand torches should be carried on board as has been suggested. A coffee machine and a supply of provisions for firemen should also be carried on each float. The hose couplings of the 4" hose should be discarded and automatic couplings provided. I further recommend that the Naval Authorities be approached in the matter of lending assistance when required, particularly at fires on board ships. Their general training and familiarity with ships make them particularly well fitted to fight an outbreak of fire on board ship. They are also supplied with smoke helmets. It would, I think, be advisable to have a definite arrangement with the Naval Authorities, for the supply of men and smoke helmets when required, provided they agree. Naval parties at present attend all large fires and are most useful but their services would be invaluable at ship fires.
C.---Fire Stations,
Exclusive of two small Fire Stations at Shaukiwan and Ün Long each containing a steam fire engine, the Fire Stations consist of:--
1 3-storied old building in Queen's Road Central, Victoria.
1 New Fire Station at Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui.
The present Fire Brigade Headquarters are quite unsuitable for Fire Brigade work. They consist of a number of tenement houses converted into what must have been intended as temporary Fire Brigade premises only. The building is too small, has no yard or drill ground of any kind and obstructs the footpath. It is also situated on a narrow street which hampers the movement of the fire appliances, and the street is completely obstructed when the Brigade turns out. The premises are too small to house the number of fire appliances on order or the personnel. The turntable ladders could not be housed there owing to their size. Plans for a new Station opposite the Central Market have been prepared and work will it is hoped, be commenced on the new Fire Brigade Headquarters this year. This building meets all the latest requirements of an up to date Station and will be an invaluable asset to the Brigade when completed; It contains accommodation for 8 motor appliances, quarters for 100 firemen, married quarters for Chinese Foremen, mechanics and others who must necessarily live on the premises, and married quarters also for the Superintendent and the Station Officer (European). A hose tower, drill tower and an ample yard are also provided. Rapid access to the ground floor from the firemen's quarters will be provided by means of brass poles. Doors opening automatically will also be fitted. Drying rooms and machine shops are also included. (See Appendix C.) This building can, however, hardly be completed under 2 to 3 years, as it forms one side of a large block of buildings covering the whole site opposite the Central Market in Des Voeux Road. It will therefore te necessary to house the Brigade or some part of it in temporary premises to supplement bhe present premises in Queen's Road Central. Such premises can be erected on the temporary reclamation near No. 2 Police Station, Wanchai., According to the present scheme it is not proposed to have Sub-Stations in Victoria but to concentrate the entire Brigade at Headquarters, but should it be found advisable, the question of Sub-Stations ean be considered in connection with new District Police Stations in Wanchai and Sai Ying Pun Districts. It might be well to station one Motor pump with extension ladder in each of these districts, but no doubt the experience gained by opening the temporary Sub-Station in Wanchai will make it possible to come to definite conclusions on this subject. The temporary premises should be large enough to take two machines and 20 firemen. They should be ready in time to take one or more of the new machines on order from home which will arrive in the autumn. This arrangement appears to be the best solution of the housing problem of the Brigade in Victoria, during the erection of the new Headquarters.
The new premises in Kowloon are adequate for the equipment of the Brigade, but it will be necessary shortly to erect quarters for the firemen on the premises. They are at present housed at the Water Police Station adjoining, where the accommodation is inadequate. Owing to the excellent situation of the Fire Station on a broad thoroughfare giving easy access to all parts of Kowloon, it is considered that this Station will suffice for the needs of the peninsula for some time to come.

(III.)-Water Supply and Water Pressure.
Generally speaking the water supply for fire purposes is good. It is controlled by the Water Authority, a Sub-Department of the P.W.D. The pressure in Victoria is good though it varies considerably in different districts at different hours. Group Hydrants have been supplied throughout the City as shown in Appendix D. The group hydrants consist of groups of three hydrants at important points. The motor pumps are worked off a dam which is kept filled by the 3 hydrants which are close together, one hydrant being insufficient for the purpose as the draw off by the pump is too great. Before the introduction of group hydrants much time was lost in connecting up two or three hydrants situated some distance apart to feed the dam. 'It is further proposed to pump direct from the mains when possible by means of 3 way collecti heads fitted direct to the suction of the pump, thus avoiding the me fa dam, as the atter entails a good deal of waste of water and loss of pressure in the mains. The only difficulty which still exists as regards water pressure in the City is on the upper levels. These cannot be reached by the Motor Pumps, as there is no motor road to such levels as Queen's Gardens, May Road and Conduit Road. The danger of serious conflagrations on these levels is however slight as the houses are detached or semi-detached. The pressure in the mains is sufficient to confine an outbreak to the premises it starts in. The same remarks apply to the Peak where the fire appliances are confined to Despatch Boxes containing hose and standpipes and nozzles which are worked direct off the mains.
In Kowloon group hydrants have been provided as shown in Appendix D). The pressure is very good indeed in Sham Shui Po (Sai Kok) which is now connected up by a 10" main to the 12" principal feed main. This main is also available in Shanghai Street up to Waterloo Road. Tsim Sha Tsui is as yet not getting the benefit of the 15" main in Coronation Road as this main cannot be connected to the 18" main in Taipo Road until the Nathan end of Coronation Road is driven through the hill. It is anticipated that this connection will be through in about a year. Hunghom is supplied by an 8" main. The principal buildings at Tsim Sha Tsui, e.g., The Kowloon Wharf & Godown Co.'s premises and Holt's Wharf are served by the Fire Floats as are also the Hongkong & Whampoa Dock Co.'s premises. Outlying shipyards are mainly protected by the Fire Floats. Such premises however should have and mostly do have their own fire appliances to supplement the Government Fire Brigade. The owners of premises where there are furnaces, blacksmith's shops and matsheds cannot expect the entire fire protection of their premises to be undertaken by the Fire Brigade. They should have their own fire service as is the case already on all such premises as H.M. Naval Yard, The Kowloon & Whampoa Docks and the Tai Koo Docks.

Appendix B gives full details of the expenditure proposed. In conclusion I have no hesitation in saying that if the main proposals as to staff and equipment in this report are adopted, there is every reason to believe that the Hongkong Fire Brigade will be capable of performing any duties which it can reasonably be expected to perform and its efficiency should leave no room for adverse comment of any kind.

Hongkong Fire Brigade,
Central Police Station,
Hongkong,
China.
DEAR SIR,
Replying to your letter of the 4th February, 1921, I have pleasure in subjoining the information you ask for :--
Turntable Ladders.
The last two actual ladders were purchased in 1914 just prior to the War, direct from Messrs. Magirus, of Ulm-Danube, these being complete with electric elevating gear, etc. The cost was £600 each. The work of mounting the ladders on the chassis was carried out in our own workshops. The chassis (supplied by Messrs. Tilling Stevens of Maidstone, Kent) was a petrol-electric but some alterations were carried out at our direction to make the chassis suitable. For instance the height of the chassis frame had
I
62
to be reduced to not more than 2 feet 6 inches above ground level, which in turn meant special wheels and springs, etc., then again we found that with the engine throttled right down, the generator gave a voltage of 365 which had to be reduced to 65 volts by the aid of a solenoid in order not to overload the elevating Motor.
Generally speaking however this combination has proved quite a success.
The combined cost of ladders and chassis was roughly £2,300.
Since the War Messrs. Magirus have developed the design of their ladders further and the three operations of raising, extension and turning is actuated from one position only (and not three as at present) and moreover the use of electric motors and current is dispensed with, as the whole thing is operated from the propeller shaft of an ordinary petrol chassis. I have had no experience with these myself, but the mechanical features appear commendable.
The length of our ladders when fully extended is 85 feet.
Hook Ladders.
These are made of carefully selected ash, well seasoned, straight grained, and free from knots, the wood-work being made up in our own workshops.
The hook, which is a chrome nickel steel stamping is purchased from Messrs. Vickers, River Don Works, Sheffield, but is milled and finished here. The shroud into which the hook houses is of nickel steel.
The standard length is 13 feet 4 inches, and the weight approximately 26 lbs.
The cost as specially made by us is at present £10 each.
I do not think there would be any difficulty about your purchasing one if you feel so disposed.
Hose Drying Tower.
These are usually triangular in shape, of skeleton design and of a height not less than 60 feet, and can be used as a drill tower.
The hose is raised and lowered by means of a pulley blocks with ropes (called hose whips)―rove through.
No artificial heat is used.
Brass Fireman's Poles.
These are used somewhat extensively here, and are of material assistance to those riders above ground floor, in effecting a smart "turn out."
Our system is “ one pole-one floor," and they are not dangerous if the openings are properly protected. Cost about £60 each floor.
Automatic Station Doors.
Out doors are generally 11 feet wide by 11 feet 6 inches high.
The door is a four fold door with the upper panels glazed, and the lower solid. The hanging leaves are 2 inches thick, and the folding leaves 2 inches.
77
The hinges used for the hanging leaves are "Collins 2 feet 3 inches long and ordinary butts for the folding leaves.
The automatic arrangement is supplied by Messrs. Thomas Try & Co., Ltd., of 37, Great Pulteney Street, London, W. 1.
Out total cost is about £180.
•
(C
63
Automatic Hose Couplings.
These we very seldom use, in fact only with 3" hose on the floats. The type is the Surelock."
Our ordinary hose couplings are of 23" with a machined round thread of " pitch, which are quite satisfactory for our use.
They are absolutely fool-proof, and have neither springs, catches or other acces- sories, which accumulate defects.
Messrs. Shand Mason & Company, of Upper Ground Street, Blackfriars Road, London, S.E. 1, would no doubt supply you with a sample pair.

HONGKONG, 24th October, 1921.
SIR,-We, the Undersigned, appointed by virtue of the above proclamation, have the honour to submit the results of our enquiries into the industrial. employ- ment of children in Hongkong, and our recommendations for the regulation of such employment.
1. At the first meeting held on April 6th the following resolutions were adopted
(1) That the meetings of the Commission be held in private.
(2) That before any factories were inspected, managers should be summoned to give evidence as to actual conditions of child labour in their factories (3) That a child should be understood to be a person below the age of
sixteen (16) years, according to the Chinese method of calculation. Reckoned according to the English system, this age is equivalent to fourteen and a half (14) years. [Throughout this report references to ages are, unless otherwise specified, to be taken as calculated on the Chinese system.]
(4) That as the scope of our enquiry covered industrial and factory labour only, we were not expected to make any enquiry with regard either to agricultural or to domestic labour.

3. Findings. As a result of these interviews it was possible to form certain general conclusions with regard to the conditions of child labour in factories. :-
(1) The extent of the employment of children.—The number of children employed varied according to the nature of the industry. For instance, in some factories, they are largely used because in such work as pack- ing their small and nimble fingers give them a decided advantage over adults. Not only is their out-put greater than that of adults, but when working on time rates, as they do in some factories, they receive smaller wages.
Apart from the question of economic advantage, children are also in some cases employed in factories as an act of grace. Some mothers who work in factories are said to be unable to find homes for their children during their hours of work, and are compelled to take them to the factories. In such cases odd-job work is given to the children, who work near to their mothers, and enter and leave the factories at the same hours.
Employment of this nature is therefore, more a result of social conditions than of factory necessities.
(2) The necessity for child labour.—It is significant that some of the witnesses, including some large employers of children, professed indifference to the presence of children in their factories, and stated that their removal would not cause them more than a temporary inconvenience. Many of them said that they continued to employ young children more in deference to the wishes of parents, than from any decided motive of economic advantage.
(3) Hours of labour.-These appear to be universally excessive, and in few cases amounted to less than seventy (70) a week. One witness stated quite definitely that girls were working thirteen and three quarter (133) hours per day for thirteen (13) days consecutively, after which they had a day's rest. In other words they were working 964 hours and 82 hours in alternate weeks.
With regard to overtime the position is obscure. That overtime is frequently worked in factories is undoubted, but some witnesses seemed desirous of conveying the impression that the attendance of children. during these hours was optional. In theory this may be correct, but in practice the business necessities of the factories and the pressure of needy parents must be such as to leave the children little or no choice. Children are also regularly employed on evening and night shifts. The hours of children employed on night shifts are similar to those worked by them during the daytime, and arrangements are also in force by which they may be changed from one shift to another. (4) Wages.-The most important point in connection with the wages of children is that they are paid almost entirely by piece rates. The few exceptions to this rule that were found were the Docks, certain Glass Factories and the Orient Tobacco Manufactory where the children are paid by time rates. In the last named factory the few children employed were paid at a rate of twelve (12) cents for a working day of nine (9) hours. The piece rates paid vary in different factories, though by working longer hours a child appears to be able in some cases to earn as much as thirty (30) cents a day. One girl was found who appeared to make as much as $15 a month.

In view of the Chinese family system, whereby children generally hand over their earnings to their parents or guardians, the actual rates paid are not in themselves of great importance. It is when they are considered in comparison with the wages paid to adults, and as a means of depressing the general standard of remuneration, that the rates become important. As the terms of reference do not include a con- sideration of adult wages, we do not propose to enter into detail on this question, except to note that the low wages paid to children must depress the rates of wages paid to adults for similar work.
In some factories deductions are made from wages on account of bad conduct. Information on this question was not easy to obtain, and the general impression gained was that factory discipline was left largely in the hands of foremen and subordinates.
In the M. Y. San Biscuit Factory, where personal cleanliness in workers is most desirable, special regulations have been introduced to deal with hairdressing and manicuring.
Offences against these regulations are punishable according to a fixed schedule of fines. In view of the special circumstances of this factory the practice seems to be necessary and unobjectionable, but it should be subject to oversight by Inspectors.
(5) Apprenticeship.-In the course of the interviews few indications of any general system of apprenticeship were noticed. When children reach the age of sixteen (16) or thereabouts and the deftness which justified their original employment has begun to disappear, their places must be taken by those younger in years. Satisfactory evidence as to the fate of those displaced was difficult to obtain, and the general conclusion drawn was that conditions in this respect varied in different factories. In some cases the older children may be discharged and in others they may be given different work in the same factory. Girls are not in the same position as boys, in view both of the possibility of marriage, and of the definite demand in some factories for female. workers between the ages of sixteen (16) and twenty. (20). Many girls are doubtless able to change from one factory to another with little or no inconvenience; but the same opportunities are not open to all, and no evidence was forthcoming of any general organisation for assisting the flow of labour from one industry to another. The difficulties in this connection are aggravated by the keen competition for places in factories. Many of them have waiting lists and it is not reasonable to suppose that workers of sixteen (16) or seventeen (17), whose health may have suffered from long hours of work in confined spaces, would be preferred for work which can only be satisfactorily done by able- bodied adults.
In the docks and ship-building yards boys are extensively employed, especially on the work of boiler chipping. One of the witnesses stated that boys were absolutely necessary for this work as men were unable to enter the man-holes of the boilers. It was admitted that the work was hard and that many of the boys were not physically fitted for it, but at the same time those who were able to stand it were sometimes able to qualify for more skilled employment.
(6) Factory Amenities. No provision seems to have been made in factories for rest rooms, eating rooms, and wash houses, and the arrangements for medical attention in case of accidents are of the scantiest. In few cases were work people allowed to eat their midday meal in any part of the factory building, and much inconvenience appears to be caused them in this respect. An exception to this state of things is Mr. Li Ping's factory at Shamshuipo, where a school is provided for small children during the working hours of their mothers.

4. The evidence obtained at the interviews mentioned in section 2 left no doubt as to the necessity for legislation. It was felt that further interviews would only result in the accumulation of information of the same type, and that the next step should be to visit the factories, and test the accuracy of the knowledge already gained.
The following factories or works in the Causeway Bay district were visited by the Commission as a whole :-
The Nan Yang Tobacco Factory.
The M. Y. San Glass Factory.
The Kwong Sang Hong Glass Factory.
The Hing Wah Paste Manufactory.
The Kwong Kei Engineering Works.
The Meh Wah Knitting and Dyeing Factory.
The following factories or works were also visited by in lividual members of the Commission.
The M. Y. San Biscuit Factory, Wanchai.
The Kwong Sang Hong Perfumery Factory, Wanchai.
The Kowloon Docks.
The Taikoo Docks.
The Lei Man Hing Knitting Factory.
The Tung Ah Knitting Factory, Yaumati.
The Oi Kwan Cloth Factory, Shamshuipo.
5. As a result of these visits the following additional findings were made:-
(1) That the information supplied to the Commission was not in all cases accurate, and that there had been a tendency of witnesses to under- estimate the number of children employed. In view of the casual nature of much of the child labour of the Colony it cannot be easy to obtain an accurate estimate of its extent.
(2) That in glass factories the labour conditions were unsatisfactory. The work was done mostly by boys, whose daily tasks including three or four short intervals for meals, last from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and who are paid at the rate of $1.00 per head per month in addition to their food. The sanitary conditions of these factories are unhealthy, the temperature is raised by the heat of the furnaces to an injuriously high level, the air is vitiated by gases and filled with floating particles of glass, and the physique of the workers is con- sequently poor. In explanation of these conditions it is stated that the boys are apprentices, who are only paid a nominal wage as they have the privilege of learning a trade, and that they are provided with free board and lodging. It is difficult to believe that the boys in these factories are in reality apprentices, for they greatly outnumbered the men, who appeared rather to fill the role of foremen workers. From the general appearance of the boys it seemed unlikely that they would all live long enough or be healthy enough to take men's work. The provision of lodging in and around the factory precincts cannot be considered as other than a doubtful advantage. When all allowances are made, we are of opinion that the labour conditions in these factories are thoroughly bad.
(3) That in engineering works the boys employed fall into two classes.—
Those boys employed in the shops are genuine apprentices, whf serve for definite periods, and who have every chance of becoming skilled workmen. All are directly employed by the Companies, are of good physique and work reasonable hours. Labour of this kind is not very objectionable.
In the rougher and unskilled classes of work, the conditions are entirely different, for the labour is not employed directly by the Companies, but is provided by a system of sub-contracting. At the
*

125
interview mentioned in Section 3 (5) it was stated that boys were absolutely necessary for much of this unskilled labour. In the work of boilerchipping, for example, we were given to understand that boiler man-holes were so small that they could only be entered by boys.
After seeing the work in progress we are not convinced of the validity of this argument. We have reason to believe that in British ship-building yards adults are employed on this work, and we can see no reason other than cheapness why boys should be employed in Hongkong. It is only fair to say that the physique of the boy's seen by some of us was good, but on the other hand such work could not be done by weaklings, and in the words of one of the employers-" It either makes them, or breaks them.". It is probable that the law of the survival of the fittest operates with unusual severity in this work, but owing to the almost inexhaustible supply of labour the necessary standard of physical fitness can be maintained.
The strain on the undeveloped boy under sixteen (16) (English 14) is too great, and it should not be continued. Chinese boys at sixteen (16) years of age are generally small.
(4) That the system of sub-contracting was prevalent in all classes of
unskilled labour.
The system appears to be a potent influence in depressing the standard of living, for the sub-contractor is usually concerned with both work and labour, and is compelled to make up by reductions in wages the cuts in prices due to successive transferences of the contract. Every addition to the chain of sub-contractors tends to react unfavourably on the earnings of labour. While the system continues, the Colony's labour cannot be expected to be in a satisfactory condition, but as it affects adults even more widely than children, we would exceed the terms of our reference if we made any recommendations in regard to it.
(5) That many children now employed in factories have been brought into
the Colony from the country specially for work of this kind.
In the course of the inspections this question was repeatedly asked, and in many cases it was found that the children had been brought from the country by some relative, who was then working in the factory, and that they had been in the Colony for periods varying from a few months to a few years. This indicates the existence of considerable financial inducements to workers in Hongkong to find posts for their relatives from the interior of China, and is of importance in regard to the popular argument that any measure of social reform in Hongkong would only result in an influx of needy people from the country eager to take advantage of the new conditions. If social reform meant money for nothing, some such result would probably take place; but if the right kind of economic inducement is held out to the people in the interior, a more desirable type of labourer could be secured.
6. As a result of the interviews with factory managers, and the visits to factories previously described, we are of opinion that legislation should be introduc- ed to give effect to the following recommendations :-
(1) That all employers of children be compelled to register then. This recommendation is meant to apply not only to factories and workshops but when practicable to employers of casual labour.
(2) That no child under the age of eleven (11) (Chinese) years be employed in any factory, or in any form of casual labour, and that in any case arising under this legislation, the onus of proving the age of the child be upon the employer.
:
.
126
One of the Commissioners, the Rev. Mr. Wells, wishes the age to be thirteen (13) and not eleven (11) as above, and wishes the age of labour to be increased by one year every succeeding year, or as soon as possible, until child labour is entirely abolished.
This recommendation does not apply to children engaged in genuine domestic work, but it does apply to children employed in carrying paraphernalia in Chinese processions.
(3) That the hours of work for children do not exceed fifty-four (54) per week, that children be prohibited from working at any time more than five (5) hours consecutively, and that they be ensured one day's rest in every seven (7) days.
(4) That children be not employed between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. No question of overtime or night shifts should be allowed to override this ruling, and the rulings laid down in sub-section (3).
We think that half time work should be encouraged and that children should be educated during the other half time if possible. Even if children have not been working during the day they should not be employed between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. The intermit- tent sleep, which is the usual lot of workers on night shifts, is especially harmful to the physique of children.
One of the Commissioners, Mr. Chow Shou Son, is of the opinion that children over fourteen (14) should be permitted to work between the hours of 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. provided that they have done no work during the day.
(5) That for the reasons given in Section 5 (2) children be not employed
in glass factories.
(6) That for the reasons given in Section 5 (3) children be not employed
in engineering works on the work of boiler chipping.
One of the Commissioners, Mr. Chow Shou Son, thinks that boys over fourteen (14) should be permitted to work at boiler chipping if their physical condition satisfies the Inspectors.
(7) That children be not employed in dangerous trades.
(8) That employers be compelled to provide accommodation, which can be used by workers during meal hours, and as a rest house for children taken to factories by their mothers; and further that they be compelled to provide suitable dressings and first aid appliances, which can be used in cases of accident, and to equip their factories with approved sanitary conveniences.
(9) That Inspectors be appointed for all classes of child labour, as the regulations proposed are obviously dependent on a system of inspection. Our intention is to avoid introducing a series of factory regulations which will merely lead on the one hand to "squeeze," and on the other to Police Court prosecutions; and it is, therefore, essential that Inspectors should be persons of standing. Unless knowledge, tact and sympathy are employed in the work of inspection, the system of regulation may degenerate into a number of irritating prosecutions that will do little good, and that will tend to the estrangement of the various sections of the community. We are convinced that the larger and more reputable factory owners will do their best to make effective any suggestions which the Government may make; and the efforts of the Inspectors should be directed to co-operating with them in making the regulations known in the lesser factories. Only by educative co- operation can the best results be obtained from these proposals.
;
•
127
We think that the ranks of the Inspectors should include Chinese representatives as well as British, women as well as men, and voluntary workers as well as Government servants. We do not propose to draw up the details of this organisation, as we are not sufficiently well in- formed of the work of the various Government Departments, and suggest therefore, that this is a matter with which the Government is more fitted to deal.
7. We feel that an explanation is needed of the serious responsibility that we have taken upon ourselves in recommending for children, a scale of hours of labour considerably in excess of that of male adult workers in Europe. Our proposals are indeed a compromise between the present "laissez-faire ” `attitude,✔ and the more drastic method of removing children immediately from the factories. Of these two extremes the former is unthinkable, and we are not prepared to recommend the latter without also recommending some extensive scheme of social reform. As the data necessary for such a scheme could only be obtained after a searching enquiry into industrial conditions as a whole and into the financial resources of the Colony, a more moderate proposal of regulation appears to be preferable as a temporary measure. It will be pointed out that although the proposals reduce the working hours of children by periods varying from 25% to 40% on the old levels, yet as children are paid by piece rates they will suffer a corresponding reduction in wages. It will also be stated that the children them-✔ selves like the work, and that to reduce their hours of labour will cause unnecessary hardship in families dependent on their earnings. All these arguments can be paralleled from the history of the Factory Acts controversy in England in the forties of last century, and the reply is that the question is essentially moral and not only economic. A child is not a correct judge of its own welfare.
8. The feasibility of compulsory education has been examined, but owing to the difference of opinion on the question it has not been found possible to come to any unanimous conclusion. A memorandum on compulsory education was submitted by the Rev. H. R. Wells and at a meeting held on May 23rd the Director of Education stated the difficulties of carrying out these suggestions- such as those of providing accommodation, of registering children, and of arranging for the staffing and inspection of the schools. These difficulties are real, but at the same time the opinion may be hazarded that they are inherent in every scheme of compulsory education, and that as they have been overcome in other countries, they could, if the community had the will to do so, be overcome in Hongkong. Mr. Wells' memorandum and the statement of the Director of Education are printed in Appendix 2.
We do not agree with the frequently expressed opinion that an extension of educational facilities in Hongkong would be followed by a rush of people from the interior to take advantage of them. It is a common experience of countries that have adopted compulsory education that opposition may be expected from those for whose benefit the scheme is intended. There is no reason to suppose that the experience of Hongkong would be different, and on this ground the tendency would rather be towards an exodus of present inhabitants than to an influx of newcomers, and it would have the effect of stopping the immigration of child labourers which is very large.
One of the Commissioners Mr. Chow Shou Son however, does not share this view, as evidenced by the attached extracts from a Memorandum by him which forms Appendix 4.
In view of the fact that many children must earn their living by manual labour, it is suggested that steps be taken to provide an education for them suited to their special needs.
Such an education would least a "primary education." and the bearing of intellect on
comprise training in manual work in addition to at The dignity of manual labour should be emphasized manual work explained.
:
128
In the course of time we hope that adult labour will replace that of children in factories, so that the Government should be asked either to undertake the necessary industrial training or to encourage private enterprise in this direction. Meanwhile schools for "half timers," such as those which have been successfully started in India, might be tried.
In Shanghai a Chinese lady has had good results with such methods. In hes "Industrial Home" the children do four (4) hours manual work and four (4) hourr study, while the remainder of the day is devoted to recreation.
Such or similar methods might be attempted in Hongkong.
PART II.
Children Employed in Casual Labour.
9. The employment of children outside factories in casual and unskilled work, and especially in burden bearing, is the most difficult problem which we have had to face. Reliable information is extremely difficult to procure, the work is done by the poorest members of the community, who have often no fixed place of abode, and the place of work is constantly being changed. The
The eyes of European inhabitants are naturally drawn to those who carry bricks and other materials to the Peak and Hill Districts, but the same kind of labour is carried on all over the Colony. Children are freely employed in this work; and investigation has shown. that even those as young as seven (7) or eight (8) years are not exempted. The physical condition of many of the women who have been long engaged in this work is even worse than that of the children, and judging from this we are driven to the conclusion that no form of work exercises such a degrading effect upon the workers as labour of this kind. We are unable to suggest any regula- tions which will suffice to alter this state of things, and in our opinion the real solution of the question lies in Mechanical Transport. As far as the Peak is concerned the approaching completion of the motor road should bring this method of transport within the range of possibility. A recent answer to a question in the Legislative Council indicates that considerable economy in the speed and cost of the transport of all articles to the Peak could be effected by the introduction of motor transport, and that the present system of manual transport is slow, cumbrous and wasteful.
10. As the development indicated in the last section will take time, we propose as a temporary measure, that all building and engineering contracts entered into in the Colony should contain clauses prohibiting the employment of children under the age of thirteen (13) years, and regulating the weights carried by child workers. We do not pretend that this proposal covers the whole ground, or that it will provide the remedy needed; but we think that it will do good in causing contractors to realise their responsibilities to labour, in fostering co-operation between them and Inspectors, and in gathering information about a section of the community of whom little is known. As a scale of weights suitable for children over the age of thirteen (13) and below that of sixteen (16), it is suggested that twenty (20) catties is a suitable minimum, and that no load should exceed forty (40) catties. For purposes of comparison it may be added that one small brick is roughly equivalent to 23 catties, so that the number of bricks that a child may carry should vary from eight to sixteen (8 to 16). Between these limits the load would be adjusted to the age and physical fitness of the child. It is most desirable that this standard should not be interpreted too literally. The figures are not in any sense final, and are only meant to afford a rough indication of the carrying capacity of children of different ages. What must at all costs be avoided is the harrying of labourers by petty officials. These suggestions can only result in good if Inspectors and contractors work in close co-operation. In this connec- tion we are greatly indebted to Mr. Li Ping, the result of whose investigations is to be found in Appendix 3 (A).

11. In brief our recommendations are as follows:-
(1) That all employers of children be compelled to register them, and that for this purpose a child be considered as a person below the age of sixteen (16) years (Chinese), and that when possible this should be applied to employers of casual labour.
(2) That no child under the age of eleven (11) be employed in any factory, nor should any child under thirteen (13) be employed in any form of casual labour, and that the onus of proving the age of a child be on the employer. One of the Commissioners Rev. Mr. Wells is not in
entire agreement, (vide Section 6 (2) ).
(3) That the hours of work for children do not exceed fifty-four (54) per week; that children do not at any time work more than five (5) hours consecutively; that they be ensured one day's rest in every seven (7) days; and that where and when possible some form of half time labour be encouraged.
(4) That children be not employed during the hours between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. One of the Commissioner Mr. Chow Shou Son is not in entire agreement, (vide Section 6 (4)).
(5) That children be not employed in glass factories.
(6) That children be not employed in the work of boiler chipping. One of the Commissioners Mr. Chow Shou Son is not in entire agreement, (vide Section 6 (6) ).
(7) That children be not employed in dangerous trades.
(8) The employers be compelled to provide rest rooms and suitable sanitary conveniences for workers and to make due provision for medical aid in case of accidents.
(9) That Inspectors be appointed for all classes of child labour.
(10) That in building and engineering contracts articles be inserted
regulating the weights to be carried by children.
We do not intend that the above series of recommendations be regarded as hard and fast rules which admit of no deviation. They represent no more than a beginning, of which the ultimate object must be the entire removal of children rfom factories. The speed with which this object is accomplished will depend upon the spirit in which factory legislation, if approved, is administered.
12. In conclusion we wish to express our best thanks to all who have helped us in our investigations.

Appendix 2.
The Education of Chinese Children in Hongkong.
In this Colony there is an Education Department well fitted to deal with the education of all classes of children. Schools are provided for many classes, and though from time to time complaints may have arisen about individual schools, the general work of the schools under Government direction is satisfactory.
From the reports of the Director of Education it is evident that during the past decade there has been very considerable advance in many directions, and a larger number of children have come under the scheme of education arranged for by the Department.
All schools in Victoria and Kowloon are registered, and thus it becomes in- creasingly possible for the Director of Education to control this branch of the Colony's industry.
The Committee of enquiry into the economic resources of the Colony does not seem to have taken up the theory that child life is potentially one of the principal economic resources. An educated people will progress, an uneducated people will deteriorate.
It is very evident that there is not yet adequate provision for the education of all children, because children swarm in our streets, even at times when they ought to be in school, and the question of the education of these children is one that is constantly in the minds of some people.
An examination into the state of affairs in regard to the children, reveals the fact that child labour is being exploited far beyond what should be allowed in a modern city. In factory and workshop, business house and office, on steamers and launches, in domestic service and such casual labour as burden bearing, there are multitudes of children employed, and besides these many may be seen playing in the streets, often gambling, or going about in bands, birdnesting, or insect hunting, or for other purposes, and incidentally many of them are probably developing into the future criminal classes, and the inmates of our prisons. Already they have a keen eye for the police and the detective.
It is therefore, evident that the Education Department should be further ex- tended, and larger powers should be given to the Director of Education to compel the attendance of children in schools provided under Government supervision. At the discretion of the Director of Education, perhaps in conjunction with the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, certain children in special cases might be exempted from full attendance at school, but, in such cases, guarantees should be secured that such children are not allowed to work so many hours a day that they would be too tired to benefit from classes of instruction, which they should be compelled to attend.
If all children were immediately withdrawn from their present employment. it might be a hardship to the employers, the children and their parents, but these cases could be met by the permission of the Director of Education.
A question that will naturally arise is that of the cost of such education to the Colony, and that no doubt is an important one, but the financial problem is not impossible of solution. In all probability the result to the Colony in its developed resources would far outweigh the small amount spent on this most important project.
The Education Department at present spends large sums on English and Anglo-Chinese education, but these would not enter, at least for the present, into the calculation, as the education required now is elementary Chinese education. It appears from the report for 1918 that the amount spent per head on this type of education was less than ten dollars, and if the number of children of school age

who are not yet in school should be about 30,000, the cost of educating them on the same basis would be not more than $300,000 per annum, including presumably the cost of supervision.
In order to be able to carry out this work successfully, it might be necessary to find trustworthy bodies willing to undertake the work under the control of the department. A further need would be normal classes for the purpose of training the teachers on proper lines in suitable centres.
Taking the number of scholars as 30,000, and the average number of scholars taught by one teacher as thirty, it would mean that one thousand teachers must be found. This would involve a great task in the way of training, before the teachers were up to what may be regarded as Government standards, but with patience and perseverance the task could be accomplished. The work need not wait on this account, as teachers could be trained as they are at present, while doing their work, perhaps in evening classes.
Compulsory education is not yet un fait accompli in Canton or elsewhere in China, but it is in the minds of many, and Hongkong cannot afford to be behind- hand in such a matter. It has been pointed out that this Colony has been a pioneer in education, and it should retain that position, being a leader rather than a follower. As mentioned above, there is a strong body of people in Canton and in the province generally whose aim is to introduce compulsory education. They see that a country cannot advance much without education, and so are awake to the need for this.
The present is a very good time for starting such a system in this Colony many Chinese are ready for such a movement, and the Census has just been taken and from the results of that, it will be possible to get a fairly accurate estimate of the number of children of school age in the Colony. It would be easy to fix ages for the purpose of education as all Chinese ages are changed at the Chinese New Year. Chinese 8-16 would approximate to English 6-14 years of age.
It would be possible to inform all people coming to the Colony hereafter that they must make provision for the education of their children. There might be difficulties in the matter, but they would not be unsurmountable.
By means of such a system, children who were bad could be tried out in different schools, and dealt with so that they might not be a menace to the peace of the Colony.
It is not likely that many children would be brought to the Colony in order to secure the benefit of such primary education as is mentioned here, and the condition that might be imposed on new arrivals, to provide for the education of their children, would be an effective barrier.
These remarks are offered as a preliminary statement for discussion in con- nection with the problems of the child life of Hongkong.

Meeting held on the 23rd May, 1921.
THE HON. MR. E. A. IRVING, DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION,
ATTENDED AND GAVE EVIDENCE.
Mr. Iriving: I am not quite clear as to what particular point I am asked to make a statement on. The most striking point of this document is the suggestion that we should have compulsory education here. Well, Sir, if it were suggested to make education here compulsory to-morrow or next year the following main points would have to be considered. In the first place we should have to know how many children were not in attendance at our schools, which information we shall get as soon as the census report is published. It has been suggested by Mr. Wells, I do not know whether his guess is correct or not, that the number of school-less children is 30,000, and if we take this high figure it will mean that we shall have to have something like 1,000 more schools, allowing 30 children to a school.
The
The first point to be considered is the money. I have been working at some figures as to what the cost of the Government's assistance should be to schools- I say assistance', for I recognise that a certain amount should under existing cir- cumstances be raised from fees, but if education is going to be made compulsory, I do not see how fees can be charged. However, taking my figure on the basis of children subscribing something, I would put the cost of teaching these 30.000 children at $10.00 each a year, and that to begin with is $300,000 a year. next point to be considered is the question of housing these schools. It would need 1,000 flats. That would trench somewhat severely on the housing accom- modation of the Colony, and this seems to me in the present shortage a very serious point. However, that is not a point in which I as Director of Education, au very much interested. Now, to come to more technical points, is the question of staff. At present I find the chief obstacle to vernacular education is the shortage of teachers. I have long impressed this view on the Government, and that is why two normal schools were opened, one for girls, which I hope by the end of next year will be turning out something like 40 teachers annually. That however, would be quite insufficient to deal with a sudden demand for a thousand teachers, and we should have to depend upon teachers without any experience or training whatever, many of whom would no doubt be worse than the worst in the existing schools, and this is saying a great deal. I do say that unless you can supply teachers reasonably trained, the pupils in your new schools will profit very little. A further point is the question of inspection, and this is a very serious point indeed. I have at present two excellent inspectors, one happens to be a Chinese, a graduate of Cambridge, but English or Chinese, men with the necessary qualifica- tions are not easy to get. They must have a good education, a knowledge of the theory of teaching, and before they are of any particular use, a very thorough knowledge of Hongkong Schools; I mean they must know what can be expected of such schools, which they can only learn by visiting hundreds of them, and they must, personally know the actual teachers in the various schools. Before I heard anything about this Commission I wrote to Government that we were in a precarious state, because I had only two Inspectors to cope with the great increase both here and in the New Territories, and in the event of a breakdown of either of them we should be in great difficulties, and I have asked the Government to provide next year for one additional man or possibly two. But my real difficulty is to get such men, and if it was a question of doubling or trebling the work in Hongkong (and compulsory education would mean more than doubling and trebling), I have simply not got the men and I do not know where I could get them. These are the principal difficulties I should have to face when introducing compulsory education in Hongkong. In the first place there is the money to be provided, in the second place there is a lack of schools, teachers and inspectors.

Appendix 3 (A).
Investigation with regard to Child Labour.
In my recent investigations with regard to Child Labour, I observed that the work taken up by Children in the Colony, on the whole, is quite moderate, except that it appears to me, the work in glass factories is not at all good for children. In manufacturing glass, children are engaged in doing the work of "blowing," which is very unsuitable for them, especially as they are working almost the whole day long. They work in front of a hot fire; and so have not enough fresh air. Such work is very unhygienic for children and naturally affects their health. Therefore, the employment of children in this kind of work should be strictly prohibited.
As stated in my previous report, the number of children engaged in carrying building materials is approximately 1,000 of whom the majority, as I have observed, carry over-loads. This over-load work can easily be stopped, but it is not advisable to stop children entirely from doing the work of carrying. When any contractor enters into a contract with the Public Works Department and the War Department, or with the Civil Engineers, Architects and Surveyors in private practice on certain building construction, it should be mentioned in such contract that the Contractor should not employ any children under 11 years of age (Chinese). Similarly, it should be mentioned in permits issued by the Building Authority and the Secretary for Chinese Affairs; but children whose ages are over 11 (Chinese) should be allowed to carry loads in accordance with the following scale:-
Children 11 years of age can carry loads of not more than 22 catties.

In speaking of the introduction of compulsory Education in the Colony, I do appreciate the ideas of Rev. Mr. Wells.
Personally I would say it is an excellent scheme, but I am afraid it cannot be so easily adopted, because first of all it requires a tremendous sum of money to run the scheme, and secondly it is rather difficult to find sufficient school accommodation. I would therefore propose to open free night schools.
At present I can think of 7 day schools which are quite suitable for this purpose.
(1) The Saiyingpun School, (2) Queen's College, (3) Belilios School (4) Ellis Kadoorie School, (5) Wanchai School, (6) Yaumati School, and (7) Belilios Reformatory.
Both Chinese and English to be taught for 3 hours nightly from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. except Sunday night. Children between 8 and 11 years of age are admitted to Chinese classes and those between 12 and 15 are admitted to English classes. These schools can accommodate about, 2,400 children. For every 40, 1 teacher is required or 60 teachers altogether, of whom 30 are engaged to teach English and 30 to teach Chinese.
The expenditure for these night schools is roughly estimated as follows:-

These Schools are to be looked after by the Committee of this Commission under the control of the Director of Education. Meantime, I suggest that these be started first, whereas Compulsory Education is to be carefully considered later.
It is said that there are about 30,000 children who need education, and if this number is correct and Compulsory Education is introduced, a sum of about two million dollars is needed.
To pay rent for 1 flat per year
To pay salary for 1 teacher per year

When Compulsory Education is actually introduced we must also pay for the boarding of the children, because they cannot spare time to work and earn their living. Even if this item, the amount to be paid for their boarding is not included, a sum of at least $870,000 a year would be required.

Appendix 3 (B).
A member of the Commission Rev. Mr. Wells made a visit of inspection to one of the halts where people carrying loads to the Peak were resting.
He reports as follows:-
"Having heard that children were carrying loads to the Peak, I made a visit to one of their halts. A number of women and children were sitting down, and my attention was first called to a boy who seemed to be very weak, if not ill. He was eating a cake, but seemed to have little appetite for it, the time was about 9.30 a.m. His mother was sitting beside him, evidently somewhat anxious about him, I asked his age, and she said about nine or ten (Chinese reckoning). On being asked which burden the boy was carrying, she pointed to many loads and said "that one," adding "there are many more, ask them." I looked about and saw a very small boy, he was eight years of age, (English reckoning, say about 6 years), he was with his mother, and she said that he must work, or he would not have food to eat. The mother was a widow and came to Hongkong to get work, and finding that the boy could also get work, had set him to earn what he could. He had two loads of twenty two catties (29 lbs. each), these loads he took one by one, carrying each a short distance, and then returning for the other. Further enquiry elicited information to the effect that he had his breakfast at 5 a.m., and began to carry at a place near the central market, on the sea front, at six a.un., and had got so far, his work would be finished at about five p.m. He could earn eight cents for a day's work, carrying fifty eight pounds (forty four catties) weight of coal to the Peak. It was stated that he could only work about ten days a month, and that women could only work about twenty days. The child earned eight cents a day, or eighty cents a month, but he had to get some lunch, and it was said that this might cost three cents a day, so that his clear earn- ings would only be about fifty cents a month. This sum seems hardly sufficient to pay for medicine for him, if, as seems probable, he should have occasional sicknesses. It seems to be a wicked way to use the time and energy of such a child.
Other boys and girls of ten, eleven and twelve years of age were in the neigh- bourhood at work, it was said that a twelve year old girl could earn twelve cents a day. A general conversation with men and women was held, and it transpired that they get eighteen cents for a load of one hundred catties (133 lbs.), and that a man could carry two loads, and a women about 150 catties, the man would earn thirty-six (36) cents a day, and a women in good health about twenty-seven (27)
cents.
The problem of the formulation of a plan for the protection of these children is a difficult one to solve. It seems as if the small load system might be stopped at the starting point, contractors and employers should not be allowed to make up child burdens. The lowest load might be fixed at fifty catties, and they might be informed that only strong children of full age should be allowed to carry the materials or goods. If necessary the system might be attacked gradually, and the weight and age limit be reached by slower steps.
If young children can earn so little, they would be much better employed in schools where they could learn a little about books, and what they teach, and if it were possible to give them some industrial training as part of their school train- ing so much the better. It might be possible to teach a little about the cultivation of flowers and plants, the manufacture of small toys, or even elementary work that would be useful for their future life as artisans, and even perhaps enable them to earn a few cents a day after a short time."

Appendix 4.
General.
I should like, in conclusion, to make a few general observations in elaboration of those contained in the draft report. At the outset, let me say that I am as anxious as anyone else in this Colony to see the hard lot of some of the poor children in this Colony improved, and I am sure that all the Chinese here will do everything possible towards that end. But we must take facts as they exist, and not allow our sentiments to affect our considered judgement. Owing to its proximity to the Kwongtung Province, there is a constant flow of Chinese of all classes into this Colony, most of whom come here in order to find work to keep themselves from starvation. The present conditions of the two Kwongs further aggravates the situation. The children who are earning wages are essential to the "scheme of things" in the daily life of the poor, and without them it would mean so much less income to feed the family. One would like to cut down as much as possible the working hours of these children, but unfortunately there is a limit beyond which one cannot go without doing more harm than good. As a rule these children do piece-work: they are paid according to the amount of hours of work they put in. If, for instance, you halve their working hours of, say, 70 hours a week, you would reduce their income by 50%; and where there is more than one child earning such wages it may mean the loss of the wherewithal to pay
rent.
There has been a great deal of talk about "sweated labour" in Hongkong. Except a few isolated cases which one may come across here and there, the work which the children in the Colony are doing cannot be so described. The work is hard no doubt, but where it constitutes the alternative to starvation, it should be allowed, if greater harm is not to be wrought. The struggle for existence in China is intense, and the children who work in the interior are mostly worse off than those earning wages in Hongkong. That is why the Commission do not recommend the total prohibition of child labour, but rather suggest its regulation.
This brings me to the question of compulsory education in the Colony. The idea is very attractive, but a little consideration will show that it cannot be worked. Situated, geographically, as Hongkong is, with its door ever open to the teeming millions from China, the problem of accommodation alone will be found to be most difficult of solution. Then there would be the question of expense which would be enormous, and the difficulty of training the large number of teachers that would be required. Even if all these difficulties could be surmounted, then there would be the question of feeding and clothing the thousands of children who would have to give up their work, upon which they at present depend for their mainten- ance, in order to attend school. I should like, however, to see every child receive some education, if possible; but such should be achieved not by legislation but by voluntary attendance at Continuation Classes in the evening or on Sundays.

RENTS AMENDMENT BILL.-The Committee considered the bill intituled An Ordi- nance to amend the Rents Ordinance, 1921. They also considered certain suggestions forwarded by the Hongkong Law Society to the Attorney General under cover of letter dated the 27th October, 1921, certain criticisms put forward on behalf of the landlords, a suggestion to provide for the case of bankruptcy, and three additional draft clauses submitted by the Attorney General.
The Committee unanimously agreed to recommend that clauses 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the bill should be omitted, and that the three draft clauses submitted by the Attorney General should be inserted in the bill.
The three clauses in question are as follows:
Notice to quit to bind sub-lessees in certain
cases.
7. Notwithstanding anything contained in the principal Ordinance or in this Ordinance, any bona fide notice to quit duly given by a lessor to a lessee in reliance on the provisions of paragraph (f) of subsec- tion (1) of section 4 of the principal Ordinance, as amended by section 2 of this Ordinance, or in reliance on such provisions and on the provisions of section 8 of this Ordinance, and given in accordance with the provisions of the said paragraph, so amended, shall operate so as to bind all sub-lessees deriving title directly or indirectly from the lessee to whom such notice shall have been given.
✓
Notice to quit given by vendor to enure for benefit of purchaser in certain cases.
Ordinance
No. 1 of 1903.
Bankruptcy of lessee.
144
8. If the owner of any domestic tenement agrees to sell such domestic tenement to a purchaser who bona fide intends forthwith to pull down such domestic tenement or to reconstruct such domestic tenement to such an extent as to make such domestic tenement a new building within the meaning of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, and if such owner agrees with such purchaser to give the necessary notices to quit, any notice to quit given by such owner in pursuance of such agreement shall enure for the benefit of such purchaser as if such purchaser had been the owner at the time when such notice to quit was given and had given such notice to quit, provided that nothing in this section shall relieve such owner from the obligation to state in writing at the time of giving such notice to quit whether such purchaser intends to pull down such domestic tenement or to reconstruct such domestic tenement, and in the latter case to state the exact nature of the reconstruction intended, and provided also that notwithstanding anything in this section the lessee shall have, in addition to any remedies which he may have against such owner, such remedies against such purchaser as he would have had if such notice to quit had been given by such purchaser.
9. If the lessee of any domestic tenement is adjudged bankrupt neither the said lessee nor his trustee in bankruptcy shall be entitled to claim any right or benefit under section 4 of the principal Ordi- nance in respect of the said domestic tenement by virtue of the tenancy, whether contractual or statutory, under which the said lessee held immediately before the making of the adjudication order.
The Committee then adjourned sine die.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ON THE PROVISION OF FACILITIES FOR SEA-BATHING IN THE COLONY.
Laid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor, 7th April, 1921.
We have considered the questions referred to us, which were as follows:
(1.) The feasibility of providing adequate public facilities for sea-bathing for
the residents of:---
(a.) The Island of Hongkong.
(b.) Kowloon.
The possibility of supplying cheap and easy means of transport to the
public in connection with such sea-bathing.
2. Some persons who wish to indulge in sea-bathing in the Colony do so by means of private launches and yachts, and in the case of societies and schools by hiring craft of all kinds for the season or by the trip at a small cost per head. There are, however, many who are unable to make use of any of these facilities and they have hitherto depended on using the beaches at Kennedy Town and North. Point.
3. In view of the fact that reclamations for industrial purposes threaten in the near future to remove the beaches hitherto used we have had to consider how they can be replaced, and in doing so we have adopted as a maximum figure for the cost of transport to, and use of, a bathing beach the sum of 40 cents per head. With this limit we find that it is feasible to provide public facilities for sea-bathing both for the residents of the Island of Hongkong and Kowloon.
4. In the Island of Hongkong we recommend that the Government should undertake the preparation and upkeep for public bathing of two places in Victoria :-
(a.) The first place is a beach 230 feet in length lying between Marine Lot 290, the premises of the Royal Hongkong Yacht Club, and Marine Lot 321, the premises of the Hongkong Electric Company. We are advised that this beach can be developed satisfactorily so as to be available for bathing at practically all states of the tide. It is proposed to reclaim this beach for a depth of 30 feet from the existing road channel by means of a pitched rubble slope, the sea-ward line being built to a level of ten feet above Ordnance Datum. The reclaimed area would be surfaced in lime and cement concrete and matshed accommodation would be erected on it, and a fresh water shower bath. A bamboo pier with diving places would be constructed along the South-west boundary of Marine Lot 321 and the bath area enclosed by a hardwood boom of suit- able depth to prevent floating debris passing underneath and fitted with a splash board to prevent oil being thrown over into the bathing area by the motion of the water. The boom will also provide a safeguard against accident.
36
(b.) The second place is at Kennedy Town. For the present year and possibly for a few years hence the portion of beach hitherto used will be avail- able, and we do not recommend any change in the arrangements existing. It is, however, possible that a reclamation of a moderate length may be constructed in the near future, which will include the whole or a part of the beach now in use. In that case we recommend
that a portion of beach more to the westward be developed in much the same manner as the beach dealt with under (a).
5. For residents of Kowloon we have been able to arrange with the Naval and Military Authorities for a portion of the beach on the north side of Stonecutter's Island to be reserved. We recommend the construction by the Government of a fence enclosing an area above high water mark, a bamboo pier, a diving platform, matshed dressing-rooms, and a matshed for refreshments. We also recommend the construction of a short bamboo pier at the end of Jordan Road, Kowloon. The Kau-Lung Sze-Yeuk Kai Fong Ferry Company which operates the ferries on the west of the harbour, has offered to provide a launch to carry bathers between the pier suggested and Stonecutter's Island and back at a low fare, the exact amount of which has not yet been fixed. The launch would leave Jordan Road about 4.45 p.m. and 5.45 p.m. every afternoon, and return from Stonecutter's about 5.15
and 7 p.m. No other launches should be allowed to use the p.m., 6.15 Government beach and we recommend that a sum of ten cents be charged for each bather. By this means provision would be made for about 300 bathers a day.
p.m.
6. The cost to the Government of providing the bathing facilities is estimated to amount to about $8,000 details of which are given in the Appendix.. A sum of $2,700 is provided in the Estimates for the current year, and this would have to be supplemented.
7. We desire to record our appreciation of the assistance rendered to us by Mr. E. W. Carpenter of the Public Works Department in the preparation of plans and estimates, and in making suggestions.

REPORT OF A COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO CONSIDER THE FEASIBILITY OF
EXTENDING THE SYSTEM OF WATER CARRIAGE IN THE COLONY BY
PUMPING UP SALT WATER FROM THE HARBOUR AND THE
PROVISION OF SUITABLE PIPES THEREFOR.
Laid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor, 1st September, 1921.
The Committee held six meetings and received the following reports from the undermentioned gentlemen, copies of which are appended :--
1. Head of Sanitary Department, on the question of the Night Soil Contract.·
2, 3, & 4.
Į Mr. R. M. HENDERSON, on the cost of installing Salt Water Supply
Systems.
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ) Mr. E. NEWHOUSE, on the question of the alterations required to & 10.
sewers to deal with an extension of the Water Carriage System.
11, 12, 13,
14, 15, & 16.
Mr. L. GIBBS, on the cost of providing Salt Water, and on the cost and the present and ultimate capacity of the City of Victoria and Hill District and of the Kowloon Water Works.
17. Extracts from previous reports on the question.
2. The Committee found it desirable to divide the populous parts of the Colony into the following districts :--
(1.) The Peak..
(2.) The Middle Levels, say 400′ to 700′ contour.
(3.) The City below 400′ contour.
(4.) Kowloon Point South of Gascoigne and Jordan Roads and the area between the Railway and Coronation Road as far North as the New Boundary Road, including Ho Mun Tin.
(5). Remainder of Kowloon District.
3. The Committee decided that districts (3) and (5) (Chinese Quarters of Hongkong and Kowloon) need not be considered, until the Water Carriage System, if it were decided to extend it, had been tried in the other areas. Their decision was based on the
following reasons:---
(a.) That the areas in question were mainly taken up by Chinese tenement houses
whose occupants would not be likely to appreciate it.
(b.) That drains and closets in these districts would be liable to become blocked. (c.) That the collection of fæcal matter from these districts is the most valuable and the least expensive, most of the present revenue being obtained from them.
4
68
4. The Committee have arrived at the following conclusions :---
To pump Salt Water for an extension of the Water Carriage System to any of the 3 districts,--Peak, Middle Levels and Kowloon Point,-is feasible and would be an advantage from a sanitary point of view. It would not however be economical to do so while fresh water can be spared and can be supplied at a less cost.
5. The cost per 1,000 gallons, including interest on capital and the cost of pumping where necessary, but not including depreciation and general maintenance charges which would be about the same in all cases--is approximately as follows:---
Salt Water pumped to--

(a.)- Water Supply.
6. The City and Peak Water Supply has about reached the limit of its capacity, i.e., if such a dry period as that experienced during 1894-1896 were to recur there would be scarcity. The present supply (1920) is fully 7 million gallons a day. The water required for the proposed Water Carriage Services to the Peak and Middle Levels amounts to 5 and 22 million gallous a year, respectively. One inch of water on an acre amounts to 22,000 gallons. In the driest recorded year at least 20 inches of rain can be collected in Hongkong, so that the above amounts can be collected respectively from 12 and 50 acres.
The present gathering ground of the City and Hill District Water Works amounts to 2,561 acres. There is however an area of about 2,600 acres in the neigh- bourhood of Taitam which is available for catchwatering and which may be reckoned on to increase the supply (without further reservoirs) from its present figure of 7 millions to 10 millions a day. A catchwater to intercept the water from about 300 acres of the above 2,600 acres at a cost of $70,000 is now in contemplation; this will provide an additional supply of at least 130 million gallons a year and will take no longer to carry out than the works necessary for supplying at a much greater cost ($417,000) 27 million gallons of Salt Water a year.
(b.)-Peak District.
The sanitary advantage to the Peak owing to its scattered location and the long carry for fæcal matter, is so great and the amount of water required is so small that a Public Water Carriage System using fresh water might with advantage be adopted there as soon as the necessary additions to the Peak pumping plant, now on order, are installed.
(c.)-Middle Levels.
In the Middle Levels the amount of water required is a more serious matter and the sanitary advantage less, and it seems that a Public Water Carriage System using fresh water should remain in abeyance there till an adequate extension of the Taitam gathering ground has been put in hand.
7. The Kowloon Works will produce-1.7 million gallons a day in the driest recorded year and can be considerably extended at a comparatively small_cost.
The present supply is about 13 million gallons a day. The Water Supply in Kowloon is therefore still fairly ahead of present requirements, but in view of the rapid growth of the district a Water Carriage System using fresh water should not be installed until extensions of the present Water Works are put in hand.

8. The time may come when the limit of the fresh water resources of the Colony has been so nearly reached that it will be more economical to obtain a supply of Salt Water than to obtain an equal additional supply of fresh water, but it does not appear that that time has yet arrived, and no works which may be carried out now for the use of fresh water will in any way interfere with the use of Salt Water when its use is found to be more economical.
9. Some alterations to the sewerage system in each of the three districts will he desirable. After perusing the six reports (Annexes 5-10) received from Mr. NEWHOUSE. we have come to the following conclusions :—
(a.) The drainage of the Peak District should be diverted to an outfall on the
South side of the Island.
(b.) The drainage of the Middle Lovels should be diverted to an outfall in the
Sulphur Channel.
(c.) All sewage on the Western side of Kowloon Peninsula should be diverted to
outfalls at Kowloon Point and North of the Cosmopolitan Dock.
It is suggested that the cost of this should be met by an additional rate in the districts concerned, each district being first given the option to decide by vote whether or no it will adopt a Water Carriage System with a Public Water Supply.
10. As our recommendations do not involve the supply of Salt Water, the question of "the provision of suitable pipes" does not arise.

HEAD OF SANITARY DEPARTMENT,
Can you please supply, for the information of the Committee recently appointed by Government to consider the feasibility of extending the system of Water Carriage in the Colony by pumping up sea-water from the Harbour, the following information :—~
(1) the annual revenue for the last 10 years derived from the sale of night soil. (2) the probable effect on such revenue, if the areas comprising the Peak down to the 400 feet contour, and Kowloon Point, South of Gascoigne and Jordan Roads, were to be eliminated from such contract.
(3) whether there is likely to be increasing difficulty in the disposal of night soil
in the future.
(4) a return showing the total number of Water Closets now existing, including therein the Naval and Military Establishments, (a) in Hongkong and (b) in Kowloon, which discharge into the Harbour.
(5) a return showing the total number of houses in the areas referred to in
paragraph (2) hereof.

Hon. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS,
In reply to your questions :--

Annexe 1.
(1). I attach figures shewing the actual sums paid by the Conservancy Contractors for City of Victoria, Kowloon Peninsula, Shaukiwan, combined. These figures are likely to give a wrong impression as the big drop in 1917 was due to the fact that the five-yearly contracts for Victoria and Kowloon happened to expire just at a time when conditions in Kwangtung were very unsettled and, in consequence, there was no great competition for the contract. The contract expires again in six months from now. The tenders may be of interest.
(2.) The elimination of the Hill District will, curiously enough, have a bene- ficial effect on the contract price. At present, under clause 7 of his contract, the contractor has to supply a minimum of three foremen and 40 coolies to remove excreta from the district. At $8 a month per man this costs him $4,000 a year. I am also informed that the practice common among Peak residents of adding a little disinfectant fluid to the excreta makes the stuff valueless to the contractor who naturally tenders accordingly.
The elimination of Kowloon Point or rather European houses in Kowloon Point will probably not affect tenders very much.

(3.) I see no reason to anticipate any increasing difficulty. There has always been. a demand for this form of fertilizer in Kwangtung and presumably there always will be. I believe it is used for Mulberries which feed silkworms which in turn produce silk!

Estimate of Cost of Installing a Salt Water Supply System for Water Closet and flushing purposes for that portion of the Kowloon Peninsula lying:-

(b.) North of Gascoigne and Jordan Roads as far as the Old Kowloon Boundary and between Coronation Road and the Kowloon-Canton Railway and including Ho Mun Tin.
The water to be taken to the nearest point on the Public Road or Path from whence House Holders must make their own connections.
The following assumptions are taken :---
3 Water Closets to each house.
60 gallons per house per day.
60 gallons per house per day has been taken in this case as against 10 gallons per house per day in the case of the Peak and Middle levels, as in my opinion the houses in Kowloon have a greater number of persons occupying them than in the other two Districts mentioned.
There are over 600 separate houses some of which are divided up into four flats, and two hotels with a third large hotel projected. I have therefore taken 1,800 as the number of flats or houses.

A very large proportion of the area included in this estimate is not now built upon though eminently suited for European houses, so I think that to allow for leakage in system and future expansion the above figure of 140,000 gallons should be doubled.
The scheme should therefore be capable of dealing with 280,000 gallons per day.

(a.) The whole of Mount Kellett and that portion of the Peak South-West of a line drawn roughly through Mountain View, Cloudlands, and Stewart Terrace is drained by the Mount Kellett sewer, the outfall of which is at Kellett Bay. (b.) That portion of the Peak South-East of a line drawn roughly through Stewart Terrace, Cloudlands, Tanderagee and Victoria Hospital and which lies between Barker Road and Craigmin Road together with the Magazine and Wanchai Gap districts, is drained by sewers in Craigmin, Barker and Coombe Roads to a point South of Wanchai Gap where the sewage is treated by septic tanks and the effluent discharged down the stream-course into the catchment area of Aberdeen Reservoir. A sum of $13,000 is included in this year's estimates P.W.E. 19 (d) for connecting this sewer with the city system at Wanchai, but if Mount Cameron is to be developed, I would suggest that, instead of carrying out the work already provided for, an alternative route be adopted from Wanchai Gap to a disposal point in the Valley east of Bennetts Hill on such a line as will deal with the drainage of all houses that might be built on the southern and western slopes of Mount Cameron. I attach 8′′-1 mile contour plan in duplicate, which shows this proposal.

(c.) That portion of the Peak which lies between Barker Road and Plautation Road from the Cottage to Victoria Hospital is drained by a sewer which follows the line of Chatham Path and is connected with the City System at May Road.
(d.) The drainage of the remainder of the Peak District, i.e.-Plunkett's Gap, Victoria Gap and Victoria Peak is connected to the City System by a sewer in Peak Road.
(e.) I attach 1,400'-1" key plan of the City of Victoria in duplicate showing what additional drainage could be dealt with by a dry weather flow intercepting sewer from Robinson Road to Kennedy Town with an outfall invert at mean sea-level in Sulphur Channel 2,400 feet West of Cadogan Street, which could be extended if found necessary. The drainage from those Peak districts mentioned in items C and D could also be dealt with by the introduction of an inverted syphon through Glenealy between Peak Road and St. Joseph's College and Robinson Road, and a short connection at May Road from the Barker Road sewer to the existing sewer in May Road.
1. All existing sewers below the level of such an intercepting sewer would be retain- ed and would automatically come into use directly the dry weather flow, or whatever additional small proportion of storm-water it was decided to admit, was exceeded.

1. So far as public sewers are concerned no reconstruction is necessary, except a few alterations of a minor nature and the relaying of a short length of sewer in Coombe Road opposite R.B.L. 49 estimated to cost $500. Additional sewers will be required as follows:--
(.) A sewer from the existing Peak Road sewer at the North West corner of the Upper Tramway Terminus, through Crown Land parellel to and North of the tramway to a point south of R.B.L. 108 where it should cross the tramway and follow the line of Barker Road to the existing sewer opposite the Cottage in Barker Road.
The estimated cost of this work is $4,500.

(b.) A short length of sewer in Barker Road from Victoria Hospital to Lyeemun.
The estimated cost of this work is $1,000.

3. This sewer might be laid on the lines mentioned in 1 (b) of my minute to you dated 30th March, 1921. In addition, it would also be capable of dealing with the drainage of any houses built on the Northern slopes of Mounts Nicholson, and Cameron, above the level of Wanchai Gap. With the increased volume of sewage involved by taking in additional Peak areas I would suggest that the sewer be continued along the Deep Water Bay Road to a point of outfall where there is a strong current in deep water about 400 yards West of the Aberdeen Paper Mills. I estimate the cost of this work at $25,000 and the sum total of the whole scheme at $55,000.

Hon. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS,
As requested I have gone into the question of finding the best possible line for an intercepting sewer to deal with the drainage between the 400' and 750′ contours and can locate nothing better than that generally indicated on the plan which accompanied my minute to you dated 30th March, 1921. Such a line obviates any costly severance of property as would be involved by adopting a line of less gradient nearer the 100' contour. It is also less costly in construction per occupied area served, and possesses the added advantage of dealing with a considerably larger occupied area. With good design and the proper use of existing sewers as overflows, there can be no question of such a sewer ever coming under pressure and creating a nuisance either by flooding or sewer gas. I estimate the cost at $110,000 approximately. This amount does not include for the inverted syphon, &c., through Glenealy, which was shown on the plan accompanying my report dated 30th March, 1921, in order to meet the requirements then laid down (400' to 750' contour). The cost of this additional syphon and short sewer, (vide paragraph 1 (c) of my report dated 30th March, 1921) which would link up the drainage from the areas South of May Road and of Magazine Gap Road, where a sewer is to be extended this year to Inland Lots 2308-2310 is $8,000 approximately. If it is decided that these areas are to be included in the scheme, then there is no necessity to carry out the work mentioned in paragraph 1 (a) of my minute dated 14th April, 1921.
2. The existing sewers are of sufficient capacity to deal with a water carriage system extended to the whole area dealt with in this report.

Annexe 8.
T. L. PERKINS, Director of Public Works.
Hon. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS,
I have gone into the question of drainage of the area laid down in your minute of 4th May, 1921, and find that an efficient self cleansing gravitation scheme cannot be carried out by methods usually adopted owing to the low level of the areas to be drained in relation to tidal range, necessitating flat gradients and a large sectional area of sewer, with consequent failure to cleanse when discharging the dry weather flow.
I have also considered the possibilities of a pumping scheme to serve the area men- tioned, having an ejector station in Canton Road. Such a scheme is feasible, but possesses the following drawbacks :-
(1.) It is not in my opinion sufficiently wide in its scope of area served.
78
(2.) The scheme would not deal with one of the most important points, i.e., the elimination of sewage, which at present enters the Harbour of Refuge by existing drainage.
(3.) It involves the laying of considerable lengths of C.I. sewer through sea water logged ground at depths varying from 0-15 feet approximately below Ordnance Datum.
(4.) The laying of the sewer at such a low level might endanger the stability of
old Chinese property which has been built on reclaimed areas.
(5.) The cost of construction due to item (3) would be very heavy and the possi-
bilities of damage due to (4) could not be ignored.
(6.) The maintenance supervision would absorb most of the time of an additional
overseer and would require a permanent Chinese Staff.
(7.) The annual cost of pumping would be fairly considerable.
A pumping scheme therefore is not to be recommended if a solution of the problem can be found on other lines, broader in scope, more flexible in character and less costly in construction and maintenance.
What I have in mind is a scheme the operation of which is based on utilizing flood tides as a motive power for flushing and operating the system. It is a problem of providing, if possible, a self-cleansing sea water conduit and the main principle hinges upon tidal range at its worst phase, which governs the efficiency of any such scheme at that period.
I am now working on these lines, but owing to pressure of other work, the result of storm damage, I have been unable to obtain all the required information, but will report as early as possible.
In addition to preparing the necessary sections to ascertain how such a scheme would fit in with the existing storm water drainage system of Kowloon, a considerable amount of work is also involved in obtaining the necessary data from tide graphs, as to yearly tides and the periods of time which can be safely reckoned upon for charging and discharging, consistent with obtaining the necessary self-cleausing velocity.
13th May, 1921.
Annexe 9.
E. NEWHOUSE.
Hon. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS,
(a.) I now beg to forward plan of a scheme of drainage of the Western portion of Kowloon Peninsula on the lines suggested in my minute of 13th May, 1921. The proposal consists of two 42" low pressure intercepting tank sewers charged at flood tides from suitable existing storm-water culverts and nullahs along their lines of route and flushed on the ebb tide by sea water impounded in the Waterloo Road Nullah.
(b.) The attached table (1) of tidal ranges (high tide followed by the next succeeding low tide) for 1921, which vary only very slightly from those of other years, shows in italics the tides below 35 feet range when a velocity of less than 24 feet per second is obtained.
(c.) Accepting 24 feet per second as a safe cleansing velocity for sewers of this size it will be seen that only on 76 days in the year does the velocity fall short of the standard, and, as such days are well distributed with alternate periods of very high tides and consequent high velocity of discharge, I consider that no fear need be enter- tained as to the system being self cleansing. It might be argued that tides, affected by wind are unreliable, but it would appear, that wind adversely affecting a flood tide would generally act beneficially on the ebb.
- 79
(d.) The chief points about the scheme are :-
(1.) The whole of the drainage in the natural drainage area to the East and West
of the line of intercepting sewers is dealt with.
(2.) It intercepts all drainage at present entering the Harbour of Refuge by
existing sewers.
(3.) The total discharging capacity of both combined sewers running slightly less than full is 22'6 million gallons per day and, after allowing 14 hours per day for charging and flushing leaves a discharging capacity of 94 million gallons per day, which makes ample provision for any future develop- ment in this part of the peninsula.
(4.) Instantaneous flushing at low tide would improve the condition of the existing
tide locked sewers and reduce the amount of cleansing required.
(5.) Practically no reconstruction of the existing sewers or storm-water drains is
required and no difficulties should be encountered in carrying out the work. (6.) A staff of 1 Chinese foreman and 2 coolies could work the scheme with little
supervision by an European Overseer.
7.) The cost of maintenance would be light.
(8.) The estimated cost of construction is:-
(a.) Southern section from Waterloo Road to Kowloon Point $100,000.-
(b.) Northern section from Waterloo Road to Fuk Tsum Heung $72,000.
(c.) I attach table (2) of velocities, discharges, and periods of time for discharging under various tidal heads. By plotting graphs from hourly readings over ranges from the minimum and maximum, it has been found that there is no appreciable difference in level at any time from one hour before to one hour after low tide.
(f) This report has been hurriedly prepared this morning owing to the date of the meeting of the Water Carriage Extension Committee having been changed from the 3rd to the 1st June.

Annexe 10.
Hon. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS,
Further to my minute of 1st June, 1921, I have now been able to go more deeply into the details of the scheme of drainage which I propose for the Western portion of Kowloon Peninsula and find that with further refinements in syphonage and anti- syphonage which will not affect the cost of the scheme, a very high efficiency can be obtained.
82
With reference to paragraph (c) of my minute of 1st June, 1921, I find that out of the 76 days when there is a velocity of less than 2-4 feet per second, there are 33 days when a velocity of 2.25 per second or more corresponding to a tidal range of 3 feet or more, is obtained.
I would however point out that a higher standard of efficiency can, if desired, be · provided by increasing the diameters of the sewers and other minor alterations provided the main principles as laid down, are adopted.
Although this system of drainage has not been adopted or suggested elsewhere so far as I can ascertain from any book of reference or record of drainage works completed, I am confident of the success of any such scheme, where conditions are such as obtain in the Kowloon Peninsula, and, in view of the low cost of construction and upkeep and its efficiency compared with any other scheme, I strongly recommend its adoption.
6th June, 1921.

The question of pumping salt water for Sanitary
Purposes has been dealt with before :--
1. In Mr. COOPER'S Water Supply Report of 1896 (19/96). Without going into much detail Mr. COOPER formed the opinion that "the cost of such a project would not compare favourably with those gravitation projects put forward" and concluded that no such project should be entertained so long as a supply of fresh water sufficient for all purposes can be obtained at a reasonable cost by gravitation.”
66
2. In 1900 Mr. J. R. CROOK of the Public Works Department reported to the Government "on the proposal to use sea water for Fire and Sanitary purposes and concluded that "there can be no doubt that such a scheme should only be introduced. after all other sources of supply have been utilized.
