One new line was installed from the General Post Office Exchange to the Salisbury Road Post Office, Kowloon, through the Water Police Station Exchange.
Emergency commutators for plugging through alternative telegraph lines between the General Post Office, Royal Observatory and Cape D'Aguilar were installed at these places.
Owing to storm damages, the lines near the Cricket Ground and City Hall were renewed by the substitution of an aerial cable.
The new telephone cable across the Harbour which sustained damage shortly after being laid was linked up to the telephonic system. This is more particularly referred to in paragraph 146.
In addition to the construction of new telephone lines, and the maintenance of existing lines, a large amount of work was done in the way of installing electric light and bell services in various Government buildings and maintaining such services in others.
