41. Reconstruction of old buildings.-A notable feature of the year's work was the very considerable number of old Chinese houses of which the reconstruction was undertaken, principally as the result of the service of dangerous structure notices, under Sections 205-207 of the Buildings Ordinance, but in some cases as the result of fire or collapse. In the older portions of the City, it frequently occurs that the demolition of one house results in the revelation of such defects in the adjoining houses that they also have to be pulled down and rebuilt. The following is a statement of the houses which have been dealt with in this manner :--
Jervois StreetNos. 91, 93, 95*, 97*, 99, 101, 103*, 105*, 107*, 109*, 96*, 98*, 100* and 102*. Bonham Strand35*. Burd Street107 and 133*. Hollywood Road3*. Tung Street33.
