“...of 42,211 tons; while there was a similar fall in the average
size of Chinese ships, an increase of 2 ships being accompanied
by a decrease of 3,503 tons.
Foreign River Steamers increased by 73 ships of 2,617 tons, or
5'6 per cent, in numbers and 0'35 per cent, in tonnage, which is
explained by the smaller vessels running more frequently and the
larger less often. Two small River Steamers under Chinese colours
were added to the West River run during the year. These vessels
run only as far as Kong Mun, thus making many more trips than
those running up to Wuchow.
It may not be out of place to draw a comparison here between
these figures and those of twenty years ago. In 1889, 2,591 British
ships of 3,242,953 tons entered the port, against 9,856 ships of
11,437,681 tons in 1909. For Foreign ships the figures are for 1889,
1,144 ships of 1,206,983 tons and in 1909, 5,688 ships of 8,593,590
tons. These figures are those for Ocean and River Steamers,
which were not distinguished in 1889, and...”

“...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...”

“...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...”

in part to the fear of detention in Hongkong, enhanced by the
prevalence of typhoons of late years.

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. In addition 20 basements illegally inhabited...”
