Hong Kong Annual Administration Reports, 1841-1941

COLONIAL REPORTS-ANNUAL.

The most noticeable tree-felling on the island has been that on Morrison Hill, where large sections of native trees have been removed to allow for the removal of rocks and soil in connection with harbour reclamation work.

Clearing of undergrowth in connection with anti-malarial measures was maintained throughout the whole year, the total area cleared amounted to 8,340,610 sq. ft., while the total area cleared for surveys by P. W. D. was 3,990,000 sq. ft.

Nurseries, Agriculture, etc.

Five thousand Camphor trees were raised in the new nursery at Little Hongkong. These will be used for replanting on the site of the adjoining old forest, which is composed of trees of little value and which are now being felled and removed.

Three hundred pounds of seed of Pinus massoniana and 65 lb. of Camphor seed were collected during the year.

The first rice crop was very good, the second crop and peanuts were fair, and sugar-cane and pineapples very good.

Vegetables and native fruits were grown in the experimental garden at Fanling for demonstration purposes.

Six thousand nine hundred and ninety-six packages, containing 885,000 bulbs of Narcissus tazetta, were inspected and certified for export.

A hundred sheets of new Australian specimens and a small number collected locally were mounted.

Specimens of local plants were identified when brought in by visitors to the Colony or local collectors.

A large number of specimens of Chinese medicinal herbs were forwarded by the Department of Agriculture, Vancouver. These were all identified and named and all available information concerning the specimens forwarded to the Department.

(e.)-LAND GRANTS AND GENERAL VALUE of Land.

The net amount of premium received from sales of Crown land and pier rights, New Territories excepted, for the year 1922 was $2,544,225.53, an increase of $952,917.27 on the preceding year, and $2,033,067 more than the average for the previous five years (1917-1921). This result is due not so much to one or two large items like last year, though large figures have been realized in one or two instances, as to a keen competition amongst the Chinese for most of the lots sold.

The principal items were $206,000 for Inland Lot No. 2366, $110,000 for Inland Lot No. 2409, $108,600 for Inland Lot No. 2407, $91,500 for Inland Lot No. 2382, $50,000 for Kowloon Inland Lot No. 1462, $33,700 for Kowloon Inland Lot No. 1441, $33,470 for Kowloon Inland Lot No. 1483 and $30,000 for Rural Building Lot No. 200.
