“...1,126,836 tons were imported into the Colony during the year. This shows an increase over the imports of 1908, of 108,083 tons, or 10.6 %. This would appear to be due to nothing more phenomenal than an increased demand, and to a general improvement in business and manufactures. It is a curious fact that although the imports of coal have increased to this extent, the shipment of bunker coal in the Colony has decreased. This is due to the fact that an increasing number of vessels, calling at Hong- kong, prefer to take their bunker coal elsewhere, e.g., Japanese and most transpacific liners in Japan, Chinese in Cantonwhither a...”

“...elected by the inhabitants, and in his work of guiding and controlling them the Registrar G eneral is assisted by the two Chinese Members of Council and the two Chinese Members of the Sanitary Board. To enable the Registrar General to keep in close touch with the Chinese in matters relating to sanitation, Street Committees have been appointed by the Government and are con- sulted on matters of importance and encouraged to ask advice. Attached to each dispensary in Victoria are a licentiate of the Hong- kong College of Medicine, a clerk with a knowledge of English and coolies with ambulances and dead-vans to remove patients and dead bodies. Two lecturers are maintained whose duty it is to preach against "dumping" of bodies in the streets, to point out the benefits to be derived from the dispensaries and to explain the object of the Sanitary laws; handbills are issued in profusion wdienever occasion demands and photographs are taken of bodies found in the streets and are posted up in the neighbourhood...”

“...among the Chinese population as against 376 and 957 in 1908, have also made the year a happier one for the Chinese. The Sanitary Board does not appear to be such a bogey as it was, and it is a pleasant relief not to hear so much of it as I have had to do of late years. The University I find to be a subject of interest and discussion amongst all classes, and its importance is fully realised by those who have children at school in Hongkong. Men with money have many claims on their purses in Hong- kong. In addition to the $198,000 subscribed to the University, $69,000 were subscribed for a small-pox hospital at Kennedy Town and the new District Plague Hospital at West Point was built at a cost of $10,000 by public subscription. The large hospital at Yau- mati will soon be expecting funds for maintenance and subscriptions will liave to be collected to build the Plague Hospital at Wanchai. In addition to these the Chinese Community maintains the dis- pensaries at a cost of $28,000, the District...”

“...120.836 tons were imported into the Colony during the year. This shows an increase over the imports of 1908, of 108,083"tons, or 10.6 %. This would appear to be due to nothing more phenomenal than an increased demand, and to a general improvement in busine ss and maiiufacturcs. It is a curious fact that although the imports of cc al have increased to this extent, the shipment of bunker coal in the Colony has decreased. This is clue to the fact that an increasing number of vessels, calling at Hong- kong, prefer to take their bunker coal elsewhere, eg., Japanese and most transpacific- liners in Japan, Chinese in Cantonwhither a considerable quantity of coal pisses throu gh Hongkong in transit and many vessels on the home run at Singapore, &<. This may be due in part to the fear of detention in Hongkong, enhanced by the prevalence of typhoons of late years.

“...K i The supervision of the sanitary work in the villages of Hong- kong and in Kowloon City and Sham Shui Po is done by the Police Inspectors in their respective districts. The Inspectors in Kowloon work under the personal direction and supervision of the Assistant Medical Officer of Health. Owing to the general improvement in the sanitary condition of the Colony and to the simplification of the methods of dealing with Plague cases and Plague-infected houses since the publication of the final Report of: the Indian Plague Commission in 1908, it has been found possible to reduce the number of Sanitary Inspectors by the abolition of the five special Plague Inspectors, whose duties are now performed by the District Inspectors. General Sanitary Condition. In connection with anti-plague measures to render as far as possible houses rat-proof. 391 ground surfaces in houses have been repaired and 1,048 buildings have had rat-runs filled up with cement.
