Most of the foregoing items were rendered necessary by the erection of buildings on the various lots mentioned. The only items calling for special mention are the following:-
Item (i). In order to improve communications, the northern half of Waterloo Road extending from Nathan Road to the Railway bridge was kerbed and channelled and the carriageway formed. Between Nathan Road and Shanghai Street, the full width of the road was similarly dealt with.
Item (xi). This road was raised to keep up with the general improvements of the district.
Item (xii). The wooden decking and handrails of the bridge over the railway having perished, they were removed and reinforced concrete was substituted to save the continual expense of reinstating the decayed portions of the wooden structure.
Item (xiv). The introduction of a Ferry service between Mongkoktsui and Hongkong rendered it necessary to complete the southern portion of Nelson Street between Canton Road and the Praya.
Item (xx). This was the balance due on the construction of the road to New Kowloon Farm Lots 7 & 8 which was completed in 1916.
127. Telephone Service from General Post Office to Salisbury Road Branch Office.—A new telephone line was constructed from the General Post Office to the Salisbury Road Post Office, Kowloon, in order to relieve the pressure on the Central Police Station route.
