The construction of the Kowloon Catchwater extension continued slowly during the year.
Shing Mun Valley Scheme.-The construction of the Access Road from Tsun Wan to Pineapple Pass progressed very slowly.
Contracts were let to Messrs. Sir W. G. Armstrong & Co. in November for the construction of the N. & S. Tunnels and the South Conduit and to Messrs. Trollope & Colls (Far East) Ltd. in December for the construction of the Raw Water Reception Reservoir below Shek Lai Pui.
Surveys in connection with the remainder of the 1st section of the Scheme were carried out and the indent for the trunk mains was practically ready. Enquires re filtering plant were forwarded and tenders were received from several British firms by the end of the year. Borings across the harbour were taken between Nathan Road and Jackson Road.
RECLAMATIONS.
Hongkong.-North Point private schemes made fair progress.
Kowloon. The Tai Tack Reclamation (a private scheme at Kowloon City) made poor progress. Kowloon Bay West Reclamation made good progress.
New Territories.-The Standard Oil Co. and the Kailan Mining Administration (private) Reclamations at Laichikok, made good progress.
PIERS.
Hongkong.-Queen's Pier, the roofing was finished but the masonry entrance made poor progress owing to labour troubles.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Good progress was made with the levelling of the Kowloon Tong Development Scheme areas approximately 13 acres being handed over to the Company during the year.
The total amount expended on Public Works Extraordinary was $8,112,785.49 and on annually recurrent works $1,793,968.69.
