28.-The roads generally were maintained in a satisfactory manner.

The formation of the temporary road, referred to in last year's Report, linking up the southern and northern portions of Nathan Road was completed, the latter portion of Nathan Road, extending as far as Argyle Street, being improved by re-forming the carriageway and laying a central strip of macadam, 20 feet wide, which was tarred and sanded. The road now forms the main route for motor traffic to Tai Po and Tsün Wan.

The following are particulars of the improved surfacing in- troduced on a number of the roads in addition to those mentioned in previous Reports:-
