(iv) Public Latrines and Conveniences. During the year public conveniences were completed and demolished as follows:-

Completed. Demolished. Hong Kong 2 1 Kowloon 2 1 Total...

(v) Bath-houses. No new bath-house was opened during the year.

(vi) Cemeteries.—(a) The following cemetery was authorised by the Governor-in-Council (but not opened) during the year:-

Hammer Hill Urn Cemetery.

(b) No cemetery was closed during the year.

The number of burials (including cremations, etc.) during the year 1937 greatly exceeded the numbers in previous years. The following shows the numbers of burials during the ten years 1928 to 1937-

1928 15,784. 1929 17,177. 1930 16,482. 1931 18,742. 1932 20,300. 1933 18,238. 1934 18,682. 1935 20,648. 1936 23,874. 1937 31,503.

The great increase in the number of burials for 1937 as compared with 1936 may be partly attributed to the deaths caused by the epidemic of cholera which lasted from July to November (over a thousand deaths) and by the typhoon of September 2nd, but the large increase in population due to the Sino-Japanese hostilities was undoubtedly the main factor.
