THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1905.
CEMETERIES.
Last year was not a severe plague year, so that there were fewer terraces required to be formed. All plague bodies were buried at Cheung Sha Wan Ce- metery, and at the end of the year, there were terraces formed in readiness for the plague season to take about 500 bodies.
A small space in the Kennedy Town Cemetery is also reserved for plague bodies, at times when it is impossible to convey the bodies to the Cheung Sha Wan Cemetery during typhoons.
New terraces have been formed in Mount Davis Cemetery in Sec.ions A and C, and terraces that were incompleted in Mount Caroline Cemetery at the end of 1903 have been completed. Terraces for a single row of bodies have since. been made in preference to double rows as being more economical on the steep hill sides.
