“...11 Land and grants of extensions to existing lots in the island of Hong- kong and Old Kowloon. The chief items were received in respect of the sales of Inland Lots 1892 and 1901 which realized $34,000 and $80,100 respectively. There has been a considerable increase in the number of build- ing lots in the city sold by the Government during the year, 18 lots having an area of 7 A. 3 R. 35f P. having been sold for a premium of £234,767 as against 6 lots with an area of 1 R. 19£ P. and at a premium of $4,77(5 for the previous year. There has again been a very considerable increase both in number and value of private properties which have changed hands during the year, the purchase moneys having exceeded those of the previous year by over six million dollars. There is a good demand for residental houses on the lower levels and in many instances a considerable rise in prices has been obtained, which may be.accounted for by the large number of Chinese gentry who have invested in house property...”

“...Mr. R. E. Stubbs of the Colonial Office'visited this Colony with a view to ascertaining the conditions of service in Hongkong; and, as the result of his inquiries, it was decided that that the salaries of Cadets and some other officers should be increased by the grant of a non-pensionable "duty allowance". This allowance is only payable to an officer when he is actually performing the duties of a post to which duty-pay is assigned. The preparation of a revised edition of the Ordinances of Hong- kong to the end of the year 1911 was considered necessary, and the revision was entrusted to the Chief Justice, Sir F. T. Piggott, who commenced work in March 1911. At the close of the year the revision work was still in progress. On the 7th September, 1911, a Board of Chinese Vernacular Primary Education was constituted by the Governor-in-Council with the following duties : (1.) to promote efficient Chinese Vernacular Education in the' Colony ; (2.) to collect funds to supplement a Government...”

“...' 0 4 such shop, the recruiter, who took them down, explaining the matter to the coolies by saying he had been cheated by the Hong- kong Boarding House. In fact the recruiter had received the sum of $70 in cash from the Boarding House master, in payment of his own expenses and of presents to the coolies on arrival, and the draft was a trick on the part of tho recruiter to keep the coolies satisfied without paying over any money until he had escorted them safely to Singapore. The scheme of the man, Lam Sam, seems to have been to use the advance made to him by the Board- ing House to redeem the four coolies in Singapore, the redemption price being $16 a head, and then to dispose of them privately at $25 or $30 each to Chinese employers of labour who cannot com- pete with Rubber Companies in the open market. He would thus make a profit for himself of $100 or more. There is nothing to show that this swindle, perpetrated not only on the four emigrants but on the Kitlang Company as well, was...”

“...visited by a hurricane during the year under notice. Three severe gales, due to typhoons, were felt in Hongkong, the first on July 3rd to 4th, when the squalls reached a maximum velocity at the rate of 73 miles per hour, as recorded by the pressure- tube Anemograph; the second on July 27th when squalls up to a velocity of 74 miles were registered; and the third on August 3rd to 6th when the maximum velocity in the squalls reached 79 miles. The centre of the typhoon of July 27th passed between Hong- kong and Gap Rock, but fortunately the disturbance was not of great depth. That of August 3rd to 6th, which entered the coast on the afternoon of the 5th a few miles to the West of Macao, was remarkable for the slow speed at which it moved between the 3rd and 5th, the average speed during this period being under 5 miles per hour. Between noon of the 4th and 5th, its rate of progression was only 3 miles per hour. The paths of these disturbances are shown in the Typhoon Tracks of 1911" which have...”
