Item (xi). This work became necessary on account of the erection of buildings on the lots mentioned.
Item (xii). This trace was made with a view to ascertaining the feasibility of constructing a path or road which would render available further building sites and at the same time afford access from a proposed new station on the Peak Tramway to the large group of houses in the neighbourhood of Queen's Gardens.
Item (xiii). The hillside traversed by Findlay Road being very steep in places, it was considered advisable to erect some additional railings along the outer edge of the road.
Item (xiv). Bluff Path was formerly a private path but it was taken over by Government some years ago. It was considered advisable to provide railings in places for the protection of the public.
Item (xv). This work was undertaken to afford more direct communication with the Aberdeen Police Station from the Wanchai Gap Road.
105. Training Nullahs:--
(a.) South-west of M.L. 239 and I.L. 1355.-This work was undertaken in accordance with the terms arranged with regard to certain exchanges and re-adjustments of Marine Lot 239 and Inland Lot 1355, Kennedy Town, the owner of these lots agreeing to contribute towards the cost. Owing to an extensive landslip on Lot 1355, work was restricted to the streamcourse on the west side of the lots, a Contract for this being let to Messrs. Wo Fat & Co. in July. The work was nearing completion by the close of the year. The length trained is 448 feet, the nullah being constructed with rubble stone side walls 5′ 0″ high and a cement concrete invert 3′ 6″ wide, in which granite steps are provided at intervals with a view to reducing the velocity of the water flowing in it. A pathway, 4′ wide, has been formed alongside the nullah.
