59. Dredging Foreshores.-The Dredger was employed at the following places and removed the quantities of material stated during the year:-
Kowloon City Pier, 21,608 cubic yards. Stormwater Outfalls, 5,063 Dust Boat Stations, 5,683 Mongkoktsui Breakwater, 1,586 Entrance to Bowrington Canal, 1,410 Shaukiwan Police Station, 1,174 Foundation trench for wall extending from Hunghom M.L. 1 to K.M.L. 83, 899 Total, 37,423The vessel was slipped and overhauled at a cost $734.90 and is in good working order and condition. The grabs were thoroughly repaired, the worn parts being replaced.
In addition to the foregoing, the following dredging was executed by hand labour as the dredger could not gain access to the places:-
Bowrington Canal, 5,462 cubic yards. Shaukiwan Police Station camber, 238 Total, 5,70060. Typhoon and Rainstorm Damages.-Practically half the expenditure under this vote was due to the storms of previous years, the remainder being due to the heavy rainstorms in the beginning of the months of June and July. The latter sum was expended almost entirely on re-surfacing roads, a small proportion being spent on repairing nullahs injured by the rush of water or by the passage of stones or boulders washed down by the rains.
61. Town Clock.-The sum provided under this heading merely pays for services rendered by a local firm of jewellers in winding and regulating the clock. From 1905 until now, such operations have been defrayed out of the vote "Miscellaneous Services", but, as that vote has now been abolished, an item making separate provision for the maintenance of the clock, as was the case prior to 1905, has been restored to the Estimates. Considerable repairs to the clock were carried out during the year, the cost of them being defrayed from the vote "Miscellaneous Works".
62. Maintenance of City and Hill District Waterworks.--Constant supply was in force until the 7th March, from which date the rider-mains were brought into operation and, except for a period of
