The foundations of the Twin Storm-water Culverts for a distance of 110 lin. feet from the existing Praya wall towards the new seawall were completed during the year, also, a length of 200 feet of storm-water Culvert as an extension to the Culvert in Wanchai Road.
A total quantity of about 44,000 cubic feet of granite ashlar facing for the sea-wall and some 27,500 cubic feet of granite sets have been prepared at the quarry at Cheungshawan; and 2,100 cubic yards in cement concrete blocks for the foundations of the quay and seawall have been moulded at the blockyard at Wanchai.
Owing to the approach of the excavations at Morrison Hill, it was found necessary to remove houses Nos. 5 and 6. This work was commenced at the end of the year by Messrs. Sang Lee & Co., who purchased the material to be obtained by pulling down these houses.
