Items (ii), (iii), (vi), (viii), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xviii), (xix), (xxii), (xxvi) and (xxviii). These extensions were required to take the sullage water and in some cases the storm-water from new houses built on the lots mentioned.
Item (iv). This work was required on account of the raising and resurfacing of Ko Shing Street.
Items (v), (ix), (x), (xiv), (xv) and (xxi). These extensions were required on account of developments or improvements in the localities mentioned.
Item (vii). This diversion was rendered necessary by the sale of R.B.L. 139, Plantation Road, as the sewer crossed the lot.
Item (xvi). Owing to the necessity of forming and surfacing the approach road to I.L. 2205, it was considered advisable to lay the sewer for this lot in order to avoid breaking up the surfacing in the near future.
Item (xvii). During heavy rainstorms, the sewer at the junction of Garden and Queen's Road Central overflowed the roadway. An overflow connecting with the storm-water drain has been constructed to prevent this.
Item (xx). Sewers and storm-water drains were laid in this newly-formed road to take the sewage and storm-water from the houses recently built on the lot.
Items (xxiii) and (xxiv). Owing to recent developments, it became necessary to provide additional facilities for dealing with the storm-water in the streets mentioned.
Item (xxv). During one of the heavy rainstorms in July, the 12″ storm-water drain became overcharged and the road surface was burst up. The 12″ drain was therefore replaced with an 18″ one.
Item (xxvii). This work was required to take the drainage from a newly-erected urinal.
Item (xxix). This calls for no comment.
* A sum of $40 contributed by the lessee of LL. 2027 towards the cost of a sewer was credited to this vote, but no expenditure on the work was incurred during 1917. The expenditure in Annexe II therefore appears as $13,362.20.
