Item (xiii). It was considered advisable to provide a special sewer, altogether separate from the Yaumati sewerage system, for carrying off the drainage from the Kowloon Mortuary. The work comprised the laying of a 6" sewer, on a concrete foundation (partly piled) in Waterloo Road, from the sea wall to the Mortuary.
Item (xv). This work was described in the Reports for 1907 and 1908. In last year's report, the expenditure from Government funds was erroneously stated as $15,187. This was the total expenditure for the year and the contribution of $4,000 by the Land Reclamation Co. should have been deducted from it, making the net expenditure from Government funds $11,187.
Item (xx). This work was rendered necessary by the filling in of the fish pond into which the sewerage from the village of Tai Wo Shi formerly found its way. It comprised the construction of an intercepting channel to convey the sullage water to the sea.

1909. Estimates, $2,500.00. 1909. Expenditure, $505.00.88. Permanent Marks for Traverse Survey Points in New Territories. Owing to the lack of a proper survey of the Colony and the absence of uniformity in the scales of such piecemeal plans as had been produced in past years, it was decided that an Ordnance Survey should be undertaken.
Bases were measured at Ngau Shi Wan and Tai Po with a 100-foot steel tape and the Tai Po base was remeasured with a certified standard "Konstat" wire, but as the wire was not received until December, it was not possible to check the Ngau Shi Wan base before the end of the year.
From the Ngau Shi Wan base, the triangulation was carried through to Tai Po, 24 stations in the main triangulation being observed to and from and the positions of 18 determined. Similarly, in the minor triangulation, 14 stations were observed to and from, and the positions of 8 were determined.
