In conjunction with the Roads Office, a considerable number of new gullies were constructed and connected to the storm-water drainage system.
188. Further Reclamation at Shamshuipo.—This was referred to in paragraph 165 of last year's Report.
In order to expedite the work of depositing earth filling, the Contractors were granted permission to obtain filling material from a new position at Tai Kok Tsui and to lay transport lines along the Lai Chi Kok Road to convey it to the reclamation. This new transport route was completed in March and work commenced in the new cutting. Steady progress was made with filling from the foot hills at Lai Chi Kok; towards the end of the year, however, a large crop of boulders was encountered and the cutting became very difficult. As mentioned in last year's Report, much rock was met in the cut above Tai Po Road, consequently the locomotives were withdrawn in April and the transport of materials therefrom was continued by Decauville trucks.
The earth filling deposited in the Reclamation amounted to 37,000 cubic yards, about 12,000 cubic yards of pell-mell rubble being deposited in the rubble mound foundation for sea wall and for foundations to nullah. The deposition of rubble for this latter work was completed and the cement concrete deposited in situ for foundation to nullah wall on the West side; the cement concrete foundation blocks for the sea-wall were cast and Inland Lots Nos. 366 and 367 were reclaimed to approved levels by the end of the year.
