From - Secretary, Sanitary Board
Date - 14th. June, 1902
I shall be glad to learn whether Opium Divan Licenses have yet been issued for the following houses:
26 Cheung Sha Wan
29 Cheung Sha Wan
49 Kaulung Tong
If licenses have not been issued, I shall be glad if they can be withheld as the ground surfaces of these premises are not concrete and I find that the present sanitary law does not require concreting of old houses in the above villages. I think, however, that an Opium Divan should have a concrete floor and this can be secured by using any house built subsequent to 1894 for the purpose.

In 1918 Government revenue from the Opium Monopoly was 46% of the total revenue.
