Extensive exhumations were carried out in Mt. Caroline Cemetery at a cost of $3,261.09 and a large area will be rendered available for burials so soon as the formation of terraces is completed.
The permanent quarters for Sextons at Mt. Caroline and Kai Lung Wan Cemeteries and the improvements to the approach road to the former were completed. Further reference to these works will be found in paras. 114 and 115 of this Report.
The following additional cemeteries were set apart during the year:-
The Hau Pui Loong Chinese Cemetery. The Tai Shek Ku Indian Cemetery.
In addition to these, a large area of land at Aberdeen was granted as a cemetery for permanent interments (no exhumation) as the result of an appeal made by a committee of Chinese residents in the Colony. The cemetery (A.I.L. 78) has an area of approximately 15 acres.
A survey has been undertaken to enable a scheme to be prepared for the laying out of the cemetery in a suitable manner and, when this has been approved, a portion of the area will be laid out.
