142. Training Nullahs: --
(a.) King's Park Area.—A description of this work was given in last year's Report. As it was recognized that the nullah in the east valley will probably undergo alterations when the Park is laid out, work was confined to what was absolutely necessary. The length of subsoil pipes laid was 2,730 feet.
Total Estimates, $7,000.00 Expenditure to 31/12/15, $8,764.39 1915 Estimates, $13,000.00 1915 Expenditure, $2,789.74(b.) Extension of Waterloo Road Nullah.—The cutting away of an extensive portion of the hill, extending from the Disinfecting Station to near the Railway Bridge, in order to obtain material for reclamation purposes, rendered it possible to construct the Waterloo Road nullah between the points indicated, thus linking up the lengths already constructed. The side-walls of that portion of the nullah formerly trained to the south-west of the Railway Bridge were also raised to the future road levels. The old streamcourse, which ran at the base of the hill, to which allusion has already been made, was filled in, but the laying of certain stormwater drains necessitated by its abolition remained to be done.
The length of nullah completed was 671 feet and the entire works were nearing completion at the close of the year. The nullah averaged 9' 0" wide by 8' 0" deep, being constructed on a foundation of lime concrete and boulders with a cement concrete invert and rubble stone side-walls.
