N 12
Living in the more thickly populated town areas where no firewood could be obtained, the offenders were so numerous that the Forest Guards had to abandon all attempts at arrest and were engaged for several days in driving offenders of both sexes out of the more valuable plantations into areas where the damage would not have a very serious or lasting effect.
Three building contractors who were responsible for damage to roadside trees or plantations had sums amounting to $100 deducted from their securities; this amount was credited to Timber Sales.
An inquiry, under Ordinance No.6 of 1917 was held by the District Officer, South, and the Superintendent, at Sheung Li Uk village owing to the illicit cutting of Pine trees in the closely adjoining plantations; a fine of $30 was later inflicted on the village.
Miscellaneous Planting.-34 young Hibiscus Lambertianus were planted in Pei Ho Street, Shum Shui Po.
825 Ficus repens were planted to cover the bare cuttings on either side of the new motor road to the Peak, above the cemeteries.
The following were planted on Crown Land above Barker Road, 56 Rhododendron indicum, 26 Allamanda Schottii, 26 Plumbago capensis, 49 Hydrangea hortensia and a small number of Ixora chinensis.
On Crown Land near the Rest House, Taipo, the following were planted 20 Hibiscus Lambertianus, 50 Callistemon rigidus and 1 Bauhinia Blakeana.
Flowering trees or shrubs on the low hills near Fan Ling Golf Course, planted and maintained by this Department, were in many cases thinned out and others which were hidden by the fast growing Pine plantations were taken up and planted elsewhere.
Roadside plots and rockeries were kept in good order generally and trees or shrubs which had failed were replaced.
A vacant plot of land adjoining Peak Road, between Mountain Lodge and the Peak Tram Station was cleared of undergrowth and planted with an assortment of flowering trees and shrubs.
The following trees were planted on Cheung Chau, 59 Eucalyptus tereticornis, 60 Tristania conferta and 20 Melia Azedarach; the large numbers of roadside and other trees planted in previous years were regularly inspected and kept in good order generally by the Forester stationed on the island.
At the Police Headquarters a flower bed was formed at each end of the compound and planted with an assortment of flowering shrubs and Blue Grass.
Four Bauhinia Blakeana and 8 Lagerstroemia indica were planted on small grass plots and banks on either side of Bowen Road.
