Nos. 189, 191, 193 and 195 Hollywood Road and No. 34 Upper Lascar
Row were declared liable to become dangerous.
The Principal Government Building Surveyor said that these three
and four-storey pre-war buildings have been under observation for several years,
and adjoining buildings were declared dangerous and demolished some time ago.
Recent movement and deterioration has been detected in the brick
load-bearing walls of some of the buildings and a collapse could occur.
The remaining buildings would not withstand removal of those adjoining.
Accordingly, notices of intention to apply for Closure Orders in
Victoria District Court at 9.30 a.m. on April 10 were posted today.

WORK TO IMPROVE VEHICULAR FERRY PIER
Improvement work will soon be carried out in the Jordan Road vehicular
ferry pier to provide better facilities for passengers.
More spacious waiting areas will be provided in the ferry berth, and
a second ferry berth will be built outside the northern arm of the pier.
This second berth will replace the temporary one now in use. A small
area of land will be reclaimed for this purpose,
A notification in today's Gazette fully describes the boundaries of
the area of foreshore and seabed involved in the improvement scheme.
The notification can also be seen on a notice board posted near the site.
People having objections to the proposed work or claims to private rights
should submit them to the Director of Public Works within two months of the date
of notification.
