During the latter portion of the year, it was considered advisable for steps to be taken to render the areas occupied by Hau Pui Loong and Kowloon Tong Cemeteries available for building purposes as early as possible. In consequence of this, it was decided to set apart practically the whole of the valley in which the Small Pox Hospital (K.I.L.1264) stands for the purposes of the "Kowloon Cemeteries". The greater portion of this area, which contains 97.22 acres, will be utilized for Chinese Cemeteries and the remainder will be reserved for European Protestants (6.61 acres) and Roman Catholics (3.12 acres). It is proposed to divert all burials which would otherwise have gone to Hau Pui Loong and Kowloon Tong Cemeteries to the new "Kowloon Cemeteries" and to give up the area on the Yaumati to Kowloon City Road formerly reserved for a European Cemetery.
