97. Central Police Station,--Extension.--This work consists of the erection of a large block of buildings, containing offices, stores, recreation rooms and quarters on a site fronting on Hollywood Road. As mentioned in last year's Report, the site was obtained by resuming Inland Lot 3 at an outlay of $244,362.60.
A Contract for the demolition of the old buildings occupying the site, for the formation of the site to suit the new buildings and for the construction of the foundations was entered into with Messrs. Sang Lee & Co. on the 11th August. An immediate start was made and, by the end of the year, the demolition of the old buildings and practically the whole of the excavation had been completed, whilst considerably more than half the concrete for the foundations had been laid and the brickwork had been commenced.
