ment Primary School in the Western District and for a school and temple for the Ng Clan at Tung Tau. In addition a site was cleared for a new Baptist College in Waterloo Road, and there were small clear- ances to provide access to a new Lutheran Primary School on the Taipo Road, to allow for the reconstruction of the Y.M.C.A. School at Bridges Street on Hong Kong Island, and to provide sites for a Children's Home and a Children's Reception Centre, both situated near Wong Tai Sin. Sites were cleared for a recreation ground adjacent to Tai Hang Tung Estate and for a garden on Wellington Street, Hong Kong.
27. Clearances for public buildings included a new divisional police station with inspectors' quarters at Wong Tai Sin, and an extension to the Resettlement Administration Office at Ho Man Tin. This will allow the main administrative offices of the Resettlement Department to be united for the first time. The clearance for the police station was com- plicated because the area included a number of private lots, both agricultural and building. The site was just over 3 acres in size and nearly 1,487 squatters had to be removed. At Hill Road a site was required for a new bathhouse and latrine and for an extension to the present Shek Tong Tsui Market, and another latrine site was cleared next to the garden in Wellington Street. Sites for electricity substations were cleared on Tai Po Road and Waterloo Road and a site for a new telephone exchange on Gillies Avenue, Hung Hom.
28. There were 27, mostly small, clearances to free land for sale or for private development; and the total number of persons resettled was only 2,766 persons.
29. There was an unusual clearance at Ham Tin near Tsuen Wan in the New Territories, where 2,375 persons were resettled in order to provide a site for the re-establishment of Kwan Mun Hau Village. Two other clearances were unusual in that no structures were demolished, the sites being taken over with the existing buildings: these were the clear- ance of 1-28 Luen Wan Street, which will be used for railway staff quarters, and of a refugee shelter in the Tung Wah Hospital which is to be used by the hospital authorities for other purposes.
30. 4,512 persons were resettled from land not actually required for development: 4,286 of these were persons who had previously been resited either from the rooftops of tenements demolished for redevelop- ment or as a result of natural disasters. Others had to be moved to make fire lanes or to avoid the danger of flooding or landslide.
