1916 Estimates, $4,200.00 1916 Expenditure, Nil.(e.) Branch Road from Shanghai Street to Shamshuipo. This work was undertaken to link up the village of Shamshuipo, where extensive developments are taking place, with the Kowloon road system. A Contract for it was let in May, the road being completed and opened for traffic before the close of the year.
The road, which is 20 feet wide and 2,400 feet in length, is constructed along the line of a future main road, which has been laid out with a width of 100 feet. It is partly on embankment, about 11 feet high, where it crosses a tidal flat, and partly in cutting, the quantity of material used in its formation amounting to 15,000 cubic yards. A masonry culvert, 8 feet × 5 feet, provides for the escape of stormwater from the low-lying area, the drainage of which has been intercepted by the embankment.
A number of resumptions were necessary to enable the work to be carried out and, in several cases, new lots were granted in exchange for the old, compensation being paid for the removal and re-erection of the buildings. The total amount expended in connection with such resumptions and exchanges amounted to $4,494.58. One lot, the owner of which could not be found, still remains to be dealt with. The new lots granted were levelled off in connection with the formation of the road.
Certain liabilities remained outstanding at the close of the year.
