145. Resumption of Ferry Piers.-In order to institute improved ferry services between the City of Victoria and the western side of the Kowloon Peninsula, extending from Yaumati to Shamshuipo, it was decided to resume the piers hitherto used by such ferries and to utilize them until new and properly-equipped piers can be erected. The piers will henceforth belong to Government which will keep them in proper repair, but the privilege of running ferry services will be let, from time to time, by public tender, the Government retaining control over all matters relating to such services (vide the Regulations made by the Governor-in-Council on the 30th May, 1918, under the Ferries Ordinance, 1917).
The following is a statement of the expenditure incurred in resuming and repairing or extending the piers so as to make them reasonably serviceable for the new ferries:-
