1909. Estimates, $35,000.00.
1909. Expenditure, $31,821.54.
Items (i) & (ii). These are a continuation of the works referred to in last year's report.
Item (iii). This calls for no comment.
Item (iv). Consequent on the raising of the level of the old Shaukiwan Road on the East side of Causeway Bay, it was found advisable to raise the footpaths opposite the lots mentioned. The locality has been much improved by the work carried out.
Item (v). This is a continuation of the work referred to in last year's report, which has now been completed, no further slips having occurred.
Item (vi). Advantage was taken of the opportunity afforded by the deposit of material from the Albany Filter Beds to form a small pathway and steps from May Road to Bowen Road.
Item (vii). This work consisted of cutting away a portion of the hill opposite the lot mentioned to form Belchers Street to its full width. As the work involved blasting, it was considered advisable to carry it out before the lot was built upon.
Item (viii). The line of kerb on the West side of Pedder Street was formerly very irregular, partly owing to a large portico which projected from Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s old offices, causing the footpath to be of exceptional width where it was situated, and partly to the obstruction of the roadway by the Clock Tower which caused the footpath to be greatly narrowed opposite it. The portico having disappeared, the opportunity was taken to make the footpath of uniform width as far as possible though it is still narrowed at the South end on account of the presence of the Clock Tower.
Item (ix). This is a continuation of the work mentioned in last year's report, which has now been completed.
Item (x). A considerable area of the older part of Yaumati is too low to admit of proper drainage and, wherever rebuilding is taking place, the floors of the new buildings are arranged at a suitable height to admit of raising the streets to the required levels.
