(b.) Morrison Hill Area Development.-Two hundred and twenty-eight lineal feet of retaining wall averaging twenty feet in height was constructed on the North side of Gap Road Eastwards from the Store Yard of the Public Works Department. One hundred and forty-three lineal feet of rubble embankment was formed for the purpose of widening Gap Road at its junction with Stubbs Road. Gap Road was regraded between Stubbs Road and at a point Westwards about 250 feet distant, necessitating its level being lowered to a maximum depth of 4 feet 6 inches and the construction of a toe-wall 138 feet in length to support the slope on the South side of the road. This work was completed at the end of the year.
