7. Certificates have been granted during the year under section 84 of Ordinance 13 of 1901, for 407 houses, certifying that they have been built in accordance with the entire provision of that Ordinance. This is 491 less than were certified in 1902. (See Table C.)
CEMETERIES.
8. The whole of the bodies dead of plague during the year, have been buried in Cheung Sha Wan Cemetery.
There is room for about 40 bodies in Kennedy Town Cemetery, but I think it advisable to reserve that space for
any emergency that may arise.
25 new terraces have been formed in Mount Davis Cemetery, viz., 12 in Section A, 6 in B, and 7 in C.
9 new terraces have been formed in Mount Caroline Cemetery, viz., 8 in Section A, and 1 in Section B.
