The accommodation provided consists of a general office and two private offices, stores, quarters for one caretaker, lavatory accommodation and changing rooms for sanitary coolies, and a large compound.
44. Public Latrines. Two further public latrines were started during the year under review. Both sites were in Cheung Sha Wan (near the junction of Tai Po Road and Castle Peak Road) and building work was commenced in March 1951. The start was delayed due to the presence of squatters on the sites.

ROYAL HONG KONG DEFENCE FORCE.
47. To enable the site for the Central Government Offices to be cleared by September 1951, it was necessary to provide alternative accommodation for the Headquarters of the Royal Hong Kong Defence Force. The site of the old Civil Service Cricket Club at Happy Valley was eventually chosen and the old Clubhouse was rehabilitated for use as a Quartermaster's store and male and female changing rooms, work being commenced in January 1951. The contract for the remainder of the scheme was let in February 1951.

The accommodation provided in the new buildings consists of one large and one small lecture room, canteen-bar, medical inspection room, offices for Force headquarters, armoury, armourers' workshop, military rifle range, covered parking area for all regimental vehicles and a three-bedroomed house for a Warrant Officer. A large flood-lit parade ground has also been provided. The entire scheme is due for completion in August 1951.
