The vessel was hired to the Naval Authorities for a period of 122 days during which the dredging inside the Coaling Camber and at the entrance to the Dock was executed. The sum of $3,660.00 was received from the Naval Authorities for the hire of the vessel.
61. Typhoon und Rainstorm Damages.—The making good of the damage to the Praya at Aberdeen, mentioned in last year's Report, was completed in the early part of the year.
The heavy rains of July and September brought about numerous landslides, the largest being on the Victoria Road below R.B.L. 136. It completely blocked the road to traffic and carried away the parapet walls. As several large boulders on Crown land at the rear of Star Street were rendered dangerous by the washing away by the heavy rains of the surrounding earth, the slope was cut back and the boulders were removed. The road surfaces not treated with tar were badly scoured by the heavy rains and required considerable repairs and some of the storm-water channels on the hillsides also suffered considerable damage.
62. Stores Depreciation.--The adjustment of store values and the re-conditioning of old stores have been met from this head. Obsolete and unserviceable stores have, under authority, been sold or otherwise disposed of, receipts from such sales being credited to the Revenue Vote "Miscellaneous Receipts,-Condemned Stores, &c.". The book value of the stores so disposed of, amounting to $13,517.80, has been credited to "Unallocated Stores Account (Suspense)". A sum of $4,080.85, being rebate on freight charges in connection with stores purchased in England through the Crown Agents, was credited to "Stores Depreciation Account" as was also a sum of $868.78 on account of stores which were issued prior to 1914 but were returned during that year.
