117. Market at Shamshuipo.-The market was completed and handed over to the Sanitary Department in June. It comprises two separate market structures, each 115' 0" x 50' 0" open all round, a room for a caretaker, 12′ 0′′ x 12' 0", with cookhouse and store attached and a kitchen 20' 0" x 7' 9" for the use of stall-holders. A well with storage tank and pump is also provided.
The two market structures consist merely of a flat ferro-concrete roof supported on brick pillars built and rendered in cement mortar. The floors are of lime and cement concrete, 4" thick, surfaced with fine cement concrete, 2" thick. The other buildings are of red Canton brick built in lime mortar and pointed in cement mortar with flat roofs of ferro-concrete. Twenty incandescent electric lamps were installed for lighting the market buildings.
By the end of the year, all liabilities in connection with the work had been discharged.
