Report on Public Works Expenditure

proceeded with their share of the work I was unable to proceed with the Government portion. The expenditure during the year on this account only amounted to £31.5.0; the greater portion has however twice been completed. Estimate £192.14.2.

Surface drains, estimated at £58.17.6, were also sanctioned for the Lower Bazaar, and upon this service an expenditure of £31.5.0 was made.

In connexion with the filling for the reclamation of land from the sea, to form the Strand Road, covered drains were required; these were authorized under Report and Estimate No. 2 of 1853, amounting to £579.7.2, but for this service delayed from the same cause as that referred to above, I made no payments on account up to the termination of the year.

The road extending from Aberdeen Street to the Engineer's Road at the Naval Stores, I was directed to widen and improve, to render it available for carriages; it was sanctioned under Report and Estimate No. 21 of 1853, estimated £319.6.10, and commenced in the month of September. One half of the road is finished, and an expenditure account made, amounting to £12.10.0. The road will be finished and open to the public in the beginning of May, previous to which period it is inadvisable to do so; it requires much time to consolidate the material, and prove the drains and retaining walls secure.

Repairs to roads were made from Aberdeen Street to Aberdeen Road, amounting to 1 mile and 383 yards. Albany Godowns to Quarry Bay amounting to £11.4.2, and a further repair and improvement of the road, estimated at £58.4.2, was authorized but not completed at the end of the year.
