21. A mid-wife was in attendance at the Tai O dispensary, and medical officers paid regular visits to the islands. In the early summer dressers were sent out to vaccinate, and to inoculate against cholera: at Ping Chau the South China Boat Mission rendered valuable assistance. During the summer cholera posters were distributed in the principal centres of population.
22. A campaign against illegal and insanitary matsheds was started in conjunction with the medical authorities. A considerable number of sheds were cleared from the neighbourhood of Chung On Street in Tsun Wan, though not without some opposition. By contrast it is satisfactory to be able to record that the occupants of a large group of sheds in Cheung Chau readily co-operated in improving their sheds in accordance with the requirements of the medical authorities.
23. LANTAO.
Tai O had quite a good year, considering the Typhoon in November and general conditions at sea.
24.
25. All the market stalls did quite good business.
The output of boat-building yards decreased again, but the yield of boat and junk licences rose by $900 to over $5,100.
26. The pig and poultry trades did well, the value of ducks exported increasing considerably.
27. In spite of a slight fall in the output compared with 1938, the salt pans had a very successful year as a result of a large increase in price.
28. Silver Mine Bay, where the Ferry Company had built a pavilion, was visited by numerous bathers during the summer. There was also promise of considerable agricultural and building development.
29. LAMMA ISLAND.
Another rather poor year for chickens and eggs, but the papaya crop was fairly good, the trees having recovered from the 1937 Typhoon.
30. Many head of cattle were disposed of in Aberdeen and regular supplies of pigs were sent to Hong Kong markets.
CHEUNG CHAU.
31. A moderate year; war-time measures unavoidably affected both communications in general and fishing.
32. Business in the market was generally indifferent. But not all local industries suffered: some, such as feather and tannery businesses, were active.
33. Vegetable gardeners had a fairly good year and remunerative prices were obtained in Hong Kong markets.
34. In the village, the Fong Pin Sho was renovated with the help of a grant from the Secretary for Chinese Affairs and was re-opened early in the year.
35. Nearly all the houses in the Reservation were occupied throughout the summer and autumn and preparations were put in hand for extending the Electric Light supply to the Reservation.
