Item (ii). As there is a good deal of rock in May Road, it was considered advisable to extend the 6" main before surfacing and lighting the road.
Item (iii) As stated in last year's report, under "Maintenance of City and Hill District Waterworks", difficulty has been experienced in supplying the Western District of the City when the contents of Pokfulam Reservoir have had to be conserved for the supply of the High Level and Hill Districts. To overcome this, it was decided to lay a supplementary main, 12" in diameter, along Caine and Bonham Roads from Glenealy to Bonham Road Pumping Station. The pipes for this purpose arrived from England in the early part of December, and the work of laying them was immediately begun. It was still in progress at the end of the year.
Item (iv). An extension of the water mains was rendered necessary on account of the erection of a row of houses on Inland Lot 1,300, which had hitherto been unbuilt on.
Item (v). Owing to the rapid growth of the population of Shankiwann West, consequent on the construction and opening of the Taikoo Shipyard, the existing 3" main was found to be inadequate. It was therefore replaced with pipes of the sizes stated between the Waterworks Road and Sai Wan Ho Market.
1909. Estimates, $25,000.00. 1909. Expenditure, $24,984.39.
A sum of $1,651.38 was credited to this vote on account of the return into store of the pipes and fittings from the mains connecting with the service reservoir above Inland Lot 1,568 which has now been abandoned.
99. Resuming and Filling-in Fish Pond at Tai Po.-This work was completed at a cost of $10,443.60 (including cost of resumption $1,600) of which $1,443.60 was spent during the year. It consisted of filling in an old fish-pond, which was in an insanitary condition, to the Eastward of the village of Tai Wo Shi, by which means an area of 5.2 acres has been rendered available for the extension of the village. A portion of the reclaimed land was subsequently raised to provide an area on which buildings could be erected at a suitable level for drainage. The cost of the raising was defrayed from the vote "Miscellaneous Works".

100. Compensation for Resumption of Lot No. 3,212, Survey District IV. This lot was resumed in connection with a contemplated improvement scheme at Cheung Sha Wan. The item appeared in last year's report but, owing to the owners being absent from the Colony, the compensation could not be paid to them until 1909, when they returned.
