GENERAL.
Tai O enjoyed a fairly good year, in spite of damage to property by the August typhoon, estimated at about $40,000. Fish were less plentiful, but the total catch (35,800 piculs) fetched higher rates than those prevailing last year. The salt pans did well, producing altogether 22,000 piculs, and the trade seems likely to prosper. There is a slight increase on last year's output. The rice and sweet potato crops were only fair. All the stalls in the market were let.
The 10 foot path from Tai O to Shek Pik was repaired at a cost contributed half by Government and half by the inhabitants of the two places.
