98. New Roads in Kowloon. The only work carried out under this Vote was some filling-in in Argyle Street and widening the bridge in road from Argyle Street to Mataukok Slaughter House.

1911 Estimates,.................. ....................................... $25,000.00

1911 Expenditure,. $755.74

99. New Roads in New Territories,-The works executed under this heading were the following:-

(i.) Road from Castle Peak Bay to Ping Shan.-The approach to the pier has been paid for under this heading, the pier itself being defrayed from a special vote. The expenditure during 1911 amounted to $1,769.25.

(ii) Extension of Ping Shan Road to Un Long (length 1.7 miles, width 8 feet).-The two bridges referred to in last year's Report were completed, thus completing this section of road. The expenditure during the year amounted to $5,553.20, which included $90.00 for supervision, etc., bringing the total cost to $20,336.50.

(iii.) Extension from Un Long to Au Tau (length 0.80 mile, width 8 feet). The small items remaining to be done at the end of 1910 were completed, expenditure during 1911 amounting to $1,838.81, which included $43.01 for supervision, etc., thus bringing the total cost of this section to $5,873.03.

(iv.) Road from San Tin to Au Ha Gap (length 8.5 miles, width generally 8 feet). This section was also completed after considerable delay owing to difficulties experienced in getting the contractor for the bridges to provide sufficient pumping power in order to keep the foundations dry. The expenditure during 1911 amounted to $30,740.44, which included $555.00 for supervision and $290.52 for land resumption, bringing the total cost to $63,442.12.

On the completion of this section, it was decided to lay a light railway on that portion of it extending from Fan Ling Railway Station to Au Ha Gap, the railway being extended onwards to Shataukok, but all work in connection with this scheme was carried out by the Railway Department. As a result, practically the whole of the road was absorbed by the railway, only a narrow footpath along one side remaining available for ordinary traffic.

(v.) Extension from Au Ha Gap to Shataukok.-As it was found impossible, owing to the difference in level between the country to the eastward and westward of the Au Ha Gap, to lay out a route for a combined road and railway, it was decided that the Railway Department should carry out whatever work was necessary to admit of the formation of a route for the light railway. The only expenditure incurred by this Department was for surveying on which a sum of $78.30 was spent.
