Item (iv.) This work was undertaken to prevent the pollution of the Shaukiwan Water Boat Supply by the drainage from the Waterworks Bungalow. The work consisted of the laying of 9", 6" & 4" pipes.
Item (v.) This work was necessitated by the tipping of earth along the foreshore, which tended to block up the outlets of the storm water drain and sewer opposite the Kennedy Town Hospital. The outlets were accordingly diverted to the westward of their former positions. A 15" pipe was laid for the storm water and a 9" pipe for the sewer.
Item (vi.) This work formed part of a scheme for the diversion of Bonham Road to enable the Church Missionary Society to obtain an extension of L.L. 754 for the purpose of erecting a hostel in connection with the University. In accordance with the arrangements made, the cost of this and all other work involved was borne by the Society.
Item (vii.) This work was carried out in order to improve the sanitary condition of the Police Station, the drainage having hitherto discharged down the hillside. The work consisted of the laying of a 4" pipe and construction of the necessary manholes.
Item (viii.) The erection of two blocks of buildings in the valley above the Cattle Depôt, Kennedy Town, for the production of lard, necessitated an extension of a 6" pipe sewer.
Item (ix.) It became necessary to lay a sewer along the new path adjoining the Peak Tramway below Kennedy Road to take the drainage from houses to be erected on I.L.'s 1875 & 1881. A 6" pipe was laid for this purpose.
Item (x.) Owing to water leaking into the Central Police Station Quarters from the old stone drain in the Compound of Victoria Gaol, it was found necessary to relay it with 12" pipes.
Item (xi.) This work was required to take the drainage from new houses erected at the south end of Ormsby Street, Tai Hang Village.
Item (xii.) This work was necessary to prevent the formation of pools on R.B.L.'s 2 & 3, Plantation Road, which formed breeding places for mosquitoes.
Item (xiii.) Owing to a complaint received from adjoining owners, a 9" pipe was laid to take the storm water from the lane between the old Land Office and Watkins' Dispensary and adjoining yards.
Item (xiv.) Owing to a complaint that the existing gratings in Douglas Lane at its junction with Des Voeux Road Central were not of sufficient size to take the sullage water and debris that flowed from the lane, the work of reconstructing the gullies and making other minor improvements was undertaken by the Government at the expense of the owners of the property in the lane.
