to be below the accepted standard and fines amounting to $300.00 were imposed.
38. Prosecutions for Defective Building Work.—Legal proceedings were taken on account of defective work in 7 cases in each of which a conviction was secured, the fines imposed amounting to $641.00.
39. Prosecutions for other nuisances.—Legal proceedings were taken in 76 cases for non-compliance with notices issued in connection with nuisances reported by officers of the Sanitary Department. In 62 of these cases fines were inflicted amounting to $1,125, and in 5 others, though convictions were obtained, no fines were inflicted.
40. Testing Drains.—Fees amounting to $130.00 were collected on account of additional inspections of drains necessitated by carelessness or negligence on the part of the parties concerned in carrying out the work. This shows a decrease of $20.00 compared with 1913.
41. Modifications.—Written modifications of various sections of the Ordinance were granted in 102 cases under the powers conferred by Section 265B. This shows a decrease of 32 compared with 1913.
42. Applications and Appeals to the Governor-in-Council under Section 265I.—Applications for modifications of various sections of the Ordinance were made to the Governor-in-Council in 3 cases. Of these one was granted on certain conditions whilst the two others were refused. In two cases in which dissatisfaction was felt with the manner in which the Building Authority had exercised his discretionary powers, appeals were made to the Governor-in-Council. In each case the appeal was refused.
43. Cemeteries.—Owing to the absence of an apprentice surveyor and to pressure of other work, no progress has been made in connection with the surveys of Chinese cemeteries. The necessary surveys for keeping the records of new grave spaces in the Colonial Cemetery up to date were made.
Work in connection with forming new terraces, etc., to afford additional grave spaces was carried out in the following cemeteries :--
Mount Caroline (Sections A, B & C).
Kailungwan (Sections A, B, C & D and plague section). Kowloon Tong (Sections A, B & C).
Hau Pui Loong (Section A and plague section).
In addition, various paths were surfaced and other maintenance works were carried out at Mount Caroline, Kailungwan and Ma Tau Wei.
In connection with the new Chinese cemetery at Aberdeen for permanent interments (A.I.L. 78), a contoured survey of about one-third of the area was made and a laying-out plan was prepared.
