(c.) Repulse Bay to Taitam Tuk,—1st Section,—New Road. This section of road was practically completed at the close of the year, only some surfacing and minor items remaining to be done. A considerable balance remained to be paid in 1920. A description of the work was given in last year's Report, the only alteration being that Stanley Gap was cut down to 397 feet above Ordnance Datum instead of 405 feet as originally intended.

Repulse Bay to Taitam Tuk,—2nd Section,—Improving and widening existing road.—This section of road was completed in August, but a balance remained to be paid in 1920 on account of surfacing the road with tar-painting.

Taitam Gap to Shaukiwan,—Improving existing road.—This road was begun in November, 1918, and was completed by the close of 1919. In many places, the road is entirely new, the alignment or gradients of the old road rendering it impossible to incorporate such portions in the amended scheme. The road has now a width of 20 feet and is protected where necessary with stone parapet walls or with earth mounds. From Taitam Gap, which is 493 feet above Ordnance Datum, it rises with a gradient of 1 in 15 until an elevation of 660 feet above Datum is attained, whence it descends to Sai Wan Gap with gradients varying from 1 in 15 to 1 in 12. From Sai Wan Gap to Shaukiwan, it has a falling gradient varying between 1 in 10 and 1 in 10.
In connection with this work, the 6-inch water main from the filter beds near Sai Wan Gap to Shaukiwan had to be taken up and relaid and also the 2” main which traversed a great length of the old road above Sai Wan Gap.
