106. Causeway Bay Road Widening:-The work of reconstructing the section of Tai Hang Nullah under Causeway Bay Road and of constructing a system of stormwater drains, put in hand last year, was completed. In addition the nullah walls between Causeway Bay and Tung Lo Wan Road were raised to form a through grade between these roads.

107. Fo Pang Valley:-In order to enable the development of a site for a school to proceed, the streamcourse in this Valley was trained by the construction of a concrete culvert, 1,345 feet of 60" diameter and 258 feet of 48" culvert forming the main stormwater drain. At the top end of the Valley where the stream crosses the Railway cutting, the original brick aqueduct carried on 18" x 6" steel beams was replaced by a 48" diameter reinforced concrete box culvert spanning 30 feet. This enabled the steel beams to be cut out and the headroom over the track to be increased by 18". In addition branches consisting of 29 feet of 18" and 63 feet of 15" concrete culverts were constructed to replace existing channels.

108. Anti Malarial Works:-At Repulse Bay the nullah between Rural Building Lots 366 and 367 was extended from Beach Road to the sea, while at Telegraph Bay the nullah training undertaken just after the war was completed by the construction of some 500 feet of branch channels together with catchpits and grilles. Complaints from the Malariologist regarding mosquito breeding at Kowloon Tsai led to the construction of some 5,000 feet of channelling in sizes varying from 9" to 36". The filling of rock pools at Stanley was carried out by the Malariologist with the aid of Prison Labour.

109. Restoration of Sewers and Stormwater Drains:-
