“...The Government at Vladivostock also seem to have given certificates freely for the import of Persian Opium. Information from various sources was to the effect that much of the Persian Opium consigned to these places was in fact put off into Chinese gunboats near the mouth of the Yangtsze. Large quantities of Turkish Opium were noticed on Japanese ships en route from Marseilles to Japan. The places from which most of the raw opium seized came were Haiphong, Pakhoi, Hoihovv and Kwong-chow-wan. Kong- moon supplied a regular stream of prepared opium in 1 tael brass tins so shaped as to fit a matchbox or small cigarette carton. O wing- to the failure of the opium crop in the Fuhkien Province, due to drought, Amoy was a buyer and not a seller duriug the year. Macao continued to be the chief source from which the markets of Manila and the United States were supplied. Demand from the Philippines and America continued strong throughout the year.

“...- K -39- The .same condition regarding the ground at the base of the tower, in the drill yard, prevails at YVanchai Sub Station added to which is the fact that the yard is too small for any important drills to be carried out. Wateh Supply The water supply in Central Hong Kong is very good, and an improved system of larger mains and greater pressure is being carried out in the Western area and which later will be continued to the Eastern area where the service at present is unfortunately still very poor compared with its size, its risks and its ever increas- ing development. With regard to Kowloon the pressure in mains has been con- siderably increased thereby affording the Brigade better facilities for dealing with fires. The services in the Hung Horn and Mong Kok districts however are as yet much below what is required but the work of laying very sufficient mains in both areas is in hand. It is anticipated that by the end of 1924 appreciable developments will have been made. H. T...”

Seeds of the last mentioned were presented to this Department by Captain Hodgins of the S.S. "Hoi Hong" in 1906 ; a specimen of this tree was first discovered at Cape D'Aguilar in 1904 by Mr. S. T. Dunn, then Superintendent of the Department. The kerb stones along the border at the top of the New Gar- den were raised and put in order and the herbaceous plants rear- ranged and replanted ; similar stones near the Amaryllis bed under the big Banian in the Old Garden were treated in the same way. Amaryllis plants in beds were heavily dressed with manure in February before they came to flower. Cannas...”
