109. Ap Lei Chau.—Reclamation Scheme.—This work was referred to in paragraph 110 of last year's Report. Unfortunately, the cutting proved to be so hard that, in order to obtain filling material, the original intended line of cutting had to be somewhat deviated from, necessitating a slight modification of the original laying out plan for the building lots.

Nevertheless, satisfactory progress was made with the work of reclamation, and, by the end of the year, the sea walls were completed and 68,500 cubic yards of filling material had been deposited. There yet remained the depositing of approximately 2,000 cubic yards of filling to complete the work of reclamation.
