109. Typhoon Refuge, Mongkoktsui.--Operations during the year were confined to quarrying or collecting from beaches and depositing pell-mell rubble and to dredging trenches for the rubble mounds which will enclose the reclamation to be constructed at Taikoktsui, south of Kowloon Marine Lot No. 32.
The latter work was begun on March 27th and completed by December 7th, being carried out by the Government grab dredger. The total quantity of material dredged, consisting of mud, sand and coral, amounted to 26,092 cubic yards (junk measurement).
The fleet of junks for the collection and conveyance of stone, which on the 1st of January numbered 10, was rapidly added to and by May numbered 85; whilst the quantity of stone deposited per month, which was for January 7,980 cubic yards (junk measurement), had increased by May to 27,076 cubic yards. By the end of October, the two-ton boulders forming the inner and outer toes of the rubble mound constituting the breakwater and the small stone hearting between the same had been deposited and by the end of the year the stone throughout the entire length of the breakwater stood at an average height of eight feet above the bottom of the dredged trench.
The total quantity of stone deposited during the year amounted to 259,636 cubic yards (junk and barge measurement) of which 252,883 cubic yards were deposited in the breakwater and 6,753 cubic yards in the south jetty and in the mounds to enclose the reclamation south of Kowloon Marine Lot 32.
