Item (i.) This work was rendered necessary by the reclamation of Kowloon Marine Lot 87, which blocked up the existing outfalls of the sewers. It comprised the laying of stoneware pipes varying in diameter from 21" to 6", a great part of which had to be laid on piles and cement concrete owing to the bad nature of the ground. The total length laid was 920 lineal yards.
Item (ii) This is for the construction of new type gullies in newly formed roads or in roads in which drains have now been laid in the Mongkoktsui, Kowloon Point and Robinson Road Districts.
Items (iii.)-(vi.) These are for the continuation of works in progress at the end of the year 1905, the details of which are given in the Report for that year.
Item (vii.) A length of sewer had to be laid along Salisbury Road to pick up the drainage from the new Post Office. Very hard rock was met with in the excavation for the pipes, which were 9" diameter,
Item (viii.) This work comprised the extension of the 6" pipe sewer along Barker Road from Rural Building Lot 91 to Rural Building Lot 97 to pick up the drainage from new houses on lots adjoining the road.
Item (ix.) An extension of the 9" pipe sewer was made in Connaught Road West, between Marine Lots 185 and 289 to take the drainage from some new buildings erected on the latter lot. The pipes were laid on a cement concrete foundation owing to the ground having been recently reclaimed from the sea.
Item (x.) This work consisted of the laying of 15" pipes to intercept the storm-water discharging from the hill in the rear of Inland Lot 1,569.
Item (xi.) An alteration of the sewer at North Point was necessitated by the reclamation of Marine Lot 285.
