Items (xvi) & (xxiii). These items require no comment.
Item (xvii.) The area mentioned in this item had no storm water drains to take off the surface water from the streets that are partially formed and built on, the result being that, after heavy rainfalls, large pools of water were formed. Pipes, 15" & 12" diameter, were laid in Canton Road, and in Reclamation, Shanghai and Portland Streets.

Item (xix.) The training of this length of nullah was required owing to the erosion of the side of the road running parallel to the railway.
Item (xx.) The diversion of the 18" pipe sewer was required on account of the building of a Fat-Boiling Factory on K.I.L. 1266.
