28. Improvements, etc., of Public Streets.--Gresson Street, which was referred to in last year's report, was completed and opened to traffic.
The policy of requiring houses, when undergoing reconstruction, to be built at a higher level where necessary in order to provide for the future raising of certain low-lying areas in Hongkong and Kowloon has been continued. Power to carry out such schemes has been secured by the passing of the "Highways Ordinance". In some cases, arrangements are made with owners whereby the ground floors of their houses are retained at their former levels upon their giving an undertaking to raise such floors when the raising of the street is carried out.
29. Footways.--Attention has been given to the footways under balconies and verandahs, notices having been served upon owners to repair such footways. In several cases the necessary work has been carried out by this Department at the cost of the owners. The areas dealt with were, however, small and are not worthy of specific mention.
