149. Temporary Quarters for Scavenging Coolies.-In consequence of the scavenging of the City being taken over by Government instead of being let to contract as hitherto, it was found necessary to make provision for housing the coolies, numbering 200, and it was decided to erect temporary quarters until a permanent building could be provided. The site selected for the purpose is a strip of Crown land on the north side of Bridges Street. A contract for the work was let to the Po Yick Co. at the end of July. It consisted of two large matsheds, the larger containing four apartments, each 32′ 0″ × 30′ 0″, and the smaller two apartments, each 22′ 6″ × 30′ 0″, both matsheds having verandahs 5′ 0″ wide along their entire length. Between the matsheds is a brick building, partly one and partly two-storied, containing latrines, bath-room and kitchen. The quarters are entered by concrete steps from Bridges Street.
The work was completed and the quarters were occupied by the middle of November.
