The Slaughter Houses at Shaukiwan and Aberdeen were leased to a contractor. A new Slaughter House has been completed for Shaukiwan and is now known as the Sai Wan Ho Slaughter House. It is built in conjunction with the Sai Wan Ho market and was occupied on the first day of the year. Sham Shui Po Slaughter House has been abolished and the animals from there are taken to Ma Tau Kok. This to some extent accounts for the increase of revenue from that Slaughter House. The contractor's price for the privilege of slaughtering in Sham Shui Po was $3,240.00 in 1910. The increase in the Ma Tau Kok revenue is $4,368.95.
The total revenue from the Animal Depôts and Slaughter Houses including contract is as follows:—
1911 1910 Kennedy Town, fees collected, $69,795.70 $74,584.65 Ma Tau Kok, $13,644.95 $9,276.00 Kennedy Town Blood and Hair Contract, $7,272.00 $6,447.00 Ma Tau Kok Contract, $1,476.00 $1,104.00 Sai Wan Ho (Shau Ki'Wan) Contract, $2,232.00 $1,680.00 Aberdeen Contract, $744.00 $540.00 Sham Shui Po Contract, ... $3,240.00 Total. $95,164.65 $96,871.65 Decrease on 1910, $1,707.00The total number of animals slaughtered for food were:
