115. Compensation to Squatters in Hunghom West Village.- As the greater part of the village, which consisted mostly of mat-shed structures, was burned down, and as the area it had occupied was required in connection with railway purposes, it was decided to compensate the squatters for their land instead of permitting them to re-erect their dwellings. Only two houses, which had escaped being burned down on account of being apart from the others, were permitted to remain. A supplementary vote (F.M.11) was taken under the incorrect heading "Compensation to Squatters in Hok Un Village".
