14. Reclamation Street Poultry Market was opened during the year.

33 additional food licences were issued under section 78 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance.

Market rentals show a considerable increase (Appendix K) notably at Yaumati old market where some 20 stalls previously occupied by the poultry dealers (now transferred to Reclamation Street) were re-auctioned at good rentals; and at the Western Market where two large meat stalls were added.

# CEMETERIES, MORTUARIES, CREMATORIA.

15.(1). Sai Yu Shek New Cemetery was opened on 1st January and Cheung Sha Wan Cemetery re-opened on 1st May and closed in October. Appendix L shows approximate burial space in the main cemeteries and the net available space on 31st December.
