Fisheries. The fishing fleet working from Tai Po seems to be increasing steadily. Two new boat-building sheds were opened during the year and found sufficient business for night as well as day work. Numerous complaints were received from the stake-net fishermen of loss of fish owing to the new system of "Kitson" light fishing. The whole question was carefully considered by Government which decided not to interfere with the new method except in the interests of navigation.
Local Public Works-Table E gives the works constructed or assisted from this Vote, which is of the greatest value to the district. Not only are communications improved but public spirit is stimulated since a grant is rarely recommended unless the general public value of the work is shown in the practical form of public subscriptions.
Rainfall.-Table F gives the rainfall for the year at Tai Po and the average for the preceding 5 years.
