tutal of $7,700. In view of the widening of the road to meet their requirements, their total contribution was subsequently increased to $10,332, of which only $2,000 had been paid up to the close of the year. The total cost of the road has been :--

$1,605.94

Resumption of land,

Construction of road,

17,309.14

$18,915.08

Deduct contribution by Military Authorities,

10,332.00

$8,583.08.

Net expenditure by Government,

A balance of $4,492.68 remained to be paid in 1910.

The expenditure during the year amounted to $11,221.78, of which $11.26 was for resumption of land.

(ii) Road from Castle Peak Bay to Ping Shan.-This road is 4 miles long and 6 feet in width, except in some of the cuttings, where its width is increased to 8 feet. It runs through a flat valley and is generally on embankment, but, to afford a good alignment and obtain material for the embankment, it was found advantageous to carry it in cutting through some of the spurs of the adjoining range of hills. In setting out the road, the possibility of laying a light railway along it at some future period has been provided for and both gradients and curves have been determined with this in view. The maximum gradient is 1 in 100 and the road is surfaced throughout with decomposed granite. There are five bridges, four of one span (varying from 10 to 15 feet) and one of two spans (each 25 feet). The bridges are 14 feet in width, being constructed for the full width to which it is ultimately proposed to widen the road. The abutments are of lime concrete faced with rubble masonry in lime mortar and the decking is of reinforced concrete. Some stream diversions were made in carrying out the work. The road commences at a rocky promontory on the East side of Castle Peak Bay where it is proposed to construct a pier to enable launches to come alongside at all states of the tide. The work was practically completed with the exception of a causeway and some minor works within the first mile where the road skirts the bay. The expenditure during the year amounted to $14,485.15, which included $4.83 for land resumptions and $393.96 for surveying and certain expenses of supervision.
