# A description of the various works carried out is given below under the appropriate district or section headings.
## Kwun Tong and Adjacent Areas
5.16. At Sau Mau Ping two site formation contracts were completed although one had to be re-entered and completed by other means; the remaining contract progressed at a slow rate because of the high proportion of rock encountered and the contractor's financial difficulties. Site formation works for forming 3.4 acres of public open space at Ngau Tau Kok Cottage Area commenced early in the year and made good progress. During the year a total of 7.3 acres of level sites was formed in these areas.
5.17. Reclamation continued at a somewhat reduced rate at Kowloon Bay, where some 951,000 cubic yards of material from Government projects and private building sites were deposited to form 30 acres of land. A substantial part of the reclamation was being used by the Resettlement Department as a temporary resite area.
5.18. At Sam Ka Tsuen the formation of a total of 40 acres of industrial sites and the construction of the associated roads and drains were completed.
## Kowloon
5.19. At the Ho Man Tin Development Area site formation for Stages VI and VIII was substantially complete and construction of roads was in hand. 30 acres of formed land were ready for residential, school and community use. At Lung Cheung Road Development Area No. 1, two site formation contracts to provide 33 acres of land for community and institutional use were in hand but it was necessary to re-enter one of these because of the contractor's financial failure.
5.20. Road works and the site formation adjacent to Hillsea Barracks were completed, resulting in 1,900 ft. of new road for the public road system and six acres of formed land becoming available for the Army as part of the Whitfield Barracks Agreement.
5.21. The reclamation at Cheung Sha Wan was virtually complete except for a gap in the seawall left pending completion of the culvert across the reclamation from Hing Wah Street; reasonable progress on the 2,000 ft. culvert was maintained and it was 70% complete at the end of the year.
