The work of widening the bridges on this road was proceeded with immediately after this and should reduce the risk of such fatalities. Of the robberies, in only one case could an offender be brought to book, when one of a gang who raided a shop in British Shataukok was arrested and subsequently sentenced to 10 years at Sessions.
A nest of Triad Societies in Taipo was discovered and six persons convicted and variously sentenced. This appears to have stamped out these Societies in the District.
Accidents. The number of fatal accidents reported, viz., 13, is largely due to the increase in motor traffic, six fatal motor accidents having been reported.
The remainder were for the most part accidental drownings.
Local Public Works.-Table E gives the works constructed from this vote. The large surplus is due to the fact that it was difficult to find contractors to take on certain works which it is hoped will be in hand next year.
Rainfall.-Table F gives the rainfall for the year at Taipo, and the average for the preceding 5 years.
