Most of the foregoing items were rendered necessary by the erection of buildings on the various lots mentioned. The only items calling for special mention are the following:-
• Item (ii). The construction of this road was carried out in accordance with the special conditions attached to the sale of New Kowloon Farm Lots 7 & 8. Including a length of 1,200 feet of old road, which was widened, the total length of the road is 3,050 feet.
• Item (iv). As the road to Kowloon City was periodically damaged by heavy rainfalls, owing to flood water carrying with it detritus from the quarries, it became necessary to construct the walling and to lay the channelling mentioned.
• Item (vi). The completion of the Waterloo Road nullah between the points mentioned enabled the old, untrained streamcourse, which ran along Pitt Street, to be filled in and the carriageway to be widened and surfaced.
• Item (xii). This work was rendered necessary by the removal of the dust bin to a new position.
