Any large work for surface drainage of town or reclamation of marshes:-
Kampala.-The work of draining the swamp has been continued and has made fair progress. It has now been placed under proper control, is supervised regularly, and the work done reported on monthly. Masindi. A good deal of work still requires to be done to make the drainage of the swamp here satisfactory and effective, but, con- sidering the small sum available for it, the work shows good progress.
Mbale. This has been continued and increased, the main channel on the north-east side of the town having been cut through to the Namatala River. Some 2,000 yards of new drains have been cut during the year.
Namasagali. The drainage of a large swamp here was commenced during the year, and the main channel has now been cut through to the Nile. Rs. 1,200 provided out of railway funds was expended on this work during the year.
Entebbe. The work here has been continued and kept up.
There
is an area left which I do not think it is possible to drain, but which might be gradually filled in and reclaimed.
