Aberdeen Lots 23 to 27 and 41 were resumed for the purpose of forming a cemetery for Chinese in which permanent interments would be permitted. The compensation paid to the various owners was $468.95 but Government has been reimbursed in the sum of $345.20 by the Cemetery Board. House No. 117, Queen's Road Central, was resumed at a cost of $11,000 and houses Nos. 118 and 128, Des Voeux Road Central (portions of Marine Lot No. 54), were resumed at a cost of $3,500 and $11,500 respectively. The houses in question were riding floors over the ends of private streets, the removal of which was considered desirable on sanitary grounds. Shaukiwan Lot No. 376 was resumed at a cost of $100 for the purpose of constructing a nullah through the lot. A strip of Marine Lot No. 239 containing an area of 12,865 square feet was surrendered to Government free of cost for the purpose of extending Belchers Street across that lot. Though no expenditure was involved, sundry concessions were made to the lessee in consideration of the surrender of the area referred to. House No. 1 at Totiwan was re-entered on account of non-payment of Crown rent. Tai Hang Washing Tank No. 7 was voluntarily surrendered by the holder. The lease of Inland Lot No. 1530, which was an annual one, was determined by Government to enable Belchers Street to be formed past Marine Lots 263-265. The area (Inland Lot 1530) had been occupied for the storage of building materials. Marine Lot No. 54, which had been subdivided into many sections, was re-entered for non-payment of Crown rent but new Inland Lot leases were subsequently granted to the section-holders. In issuing the new leases, the two private streets which traversed the lot (Wing On and Tung Man Streets) were retained by Government as public streets. Kowloon Inland Lot No. 1132,
