Gravo Disputes. Disputes about grave sites are still frequent. espacially at the festivals of the 3rd and 9th moons, when they become acute. In many monetary compensation is the key to a solution, bat" fnog sini" also frequently plays a geraine part, and it is then more difficult to reach a satisfactory decision. There has been a certain tondotoy of late to buy grave sites outright, the extra cost being balanced by the additional sense of security.

Forestry dispates which were at one time vory frequent have practically cossed, and it is to be hoped that whon our system is bottor un derstood disputes about grave sites may also become things of the past.

Revenue.

The total collected amounted to $101,032.43, but in addition to this sum the following amounts collected from the District but paid in Hongkong should be added:-

The total revenus therefore derived from the Northern District in cash is 8131,631.73, and, morearer, something should be credited to the District in respect of the opiam monopoly..

It is interesting to note that ten years ago in 1900 the revenue derived from the whole of the New Territories including Kowloon City and the islands amonated only to $17.530.75.

The total expenditure on the District Office, Northern District, was $33,331.45.
