The same condition regarding the ground at the base of the tower, in the drill yard, prevails at Wanchai Sub Station added to which is the fact that the yard is too small for any important drills to be carried out.

WATER SUPPLY

The water supply in Central Hong Kong is very good, and an improved system of larger mains and greater pressure is being carried out in the Western area and which later will be continued to the Eastern area where the service at present is unfortunately still very poor compared with its size, its risks and its ever increasing development.

With regard to Kowloon the pressure in mains has been considerably increased thereby affording the Brigade better facilities for dealing with fires. The services in the Hung Hom and Mong Kok districts however are as yet much below what is required but the work of laying very sufficient mains in both areas is in hand. It is anticipated that by the end of 1924 appreciable developments will have been made.

H. T. BROOKS,
Superintendent, Fire Brigade.
