Item (i). With the reclamation of Shaukiwan Marine Lots 2-10 and an adjoining area for the Market, it became necessary to train a length of the stream which discharges at this point. The lessees of the lots mentioned constructed one side-wall of the nullah in carrying out their reclamation and the work now referred to consisted of the construction of the remaining side-wall past the Market and underneath the bridge.
Item (ii). This work was necessary on account of the old stormwater culvert not being deep enough to carry off the stormwater from the rear of Inland Lot 1596, and also not being large enough to carry off the stormwater from the locality it was required to serve.
It comprised the construction of an egg-shaped culvert, 2' x 3', the lower part, up to the springing line of the arch, being of cement concrete and the arch itself of brickwork.
Item (iii). This extension was required to provide for the drainage of houses on May Road and is so arranged as to take the sullage water from "Clovelly" (Inland Lot 1206) and from the buildings of the Ladies' Recreation Club, which has hitherto found its way into the nullahs.
It comprises the laying of a 6" pipe sewer through the Ladies' Recreation Club grounds and thence to May Road.
Items (iv), (v), (xi) and (xii). These items refer to small extensions or diversions of sewers, necessitated by erection of new buildings or by the existence of defects in the old sewers.
Items (vi) and (xiii). These items call for no comment.
Item (vii). This work was partly described in last year's report. It comprises, in addition to the work outlined therein, the raising of the invert of a portion of an existing stormwater culvert in Third Street; the construction of a stormwater culvert in Gascoigne Road South, partly egg-shaped, 3' 0" x 4' 6", and partly circular, 2' 6" in diameter, and the laying of pipe drains varying in diameter from 9" to 18" in the adjoining streets.
The egg-shaped culvert in Gascoigne Road South is constructed of cement concrete up to the springing line of the arch, the arch itself being of brickwork, and the circular culvert is composed entirely of cement concrete.
Item (viii). This work was rendered necessary by the reclamation in front of Yaumati Police Station as the outfalls of the stormwater drain and sewer discharged on the north side of Reclamation Street opposite Public Square Street and Market Street respectively. The sewer has now been diverted to an existing outfall opposite Hi Lung Lane, and the stormwater drain has been extended in an open nullah along Public Square Street to the new line of the sea-wall.
The work also included stormwater culverts in Reclamation and Public Square Streets, partly egg-shaped, 2' 0" x 3' 0", and partly circular, 2' 0" in diameter, pipe drains varying in diameter from 12" to 25" in adjoining streets, and pipe sewers varying in diameter from 9" to 15" in Reclamation Street and streets adjoining.
