Public Works Department. 16th October 1883.
I have the honour to submit herewith the Enclosed schedule of damages done to the roads, streets, bridges and waterworks on the Island and Kowloon during the three great storms of September last.
2. This assessment is based on the damages reported by the 11th, 12th, and 18th September.
The schedule of damages, which is based on the schedule of prices in force in this Department, does not represent the whole of the destruction occasioned by the three storms, but as it would take a long time to prepare a very complete schedule, more especially for the districts at the further end of the Island, I deem it preferable to submit the enclosed schedule in its imperfect state rather than incur a further delay.
I may mention that although the three storms completely annihilated and effaced portions of D'Aguilar Road, the restoration of the road, which was built from Lighthouse funds and has always been considered an adjunct to the Cape D'Aguilar Establishment, is not included in the schedule as I consider the matter has been sufficiently dealt with.
