With regard to the centery being placed part of, the Peninsula, as we gro reminded in the last paragraph of the letter I have read, here in Hengkong island the main cemetery For Chinese is far distant the City of Victoria, being situated round in Aberdeen; at Canton the White Cloud burial ground is out- side the walls of the city, a dis- tance of some miles, and Chinese who die at Macao, unless they are: Christians, are buried outside the barrier, namely the Chinese-ter- ritory. I think, Sir it would be a great mistake if the Government, because it has once been considered that this site will be suitable for burial purposes, should adhere to that decision in the altered candi tion of building development which have arisen during the last few months, and also in the face of this letter which I have read out to the Council.
