124, Roads:--
(a.) Improving and widening road through Quarry Bay Village.--This work was referred to in paragraph 120 (a.) of last year's Report.
The progress made was very unsatisfactory, due to the dilatory manner in which the Contractor carried out his work. The Contract was closed in July.
The excavation within the area of the Quarry was completed and the material deposited in the Reclamation; but this was not the case below Taikoo Terrace. The main culverts were extended as far as possible to carry the road on its new alignment.

Extending 20-foot Road from Magazine Gap to Victoria Gap, Stubbs Road.—This work was referred to in paragraph 120 (c.) of last year's Report.
The progress made during the year was not satisfactory, typhoon and rainstorm damages, as well as a shortage of filling material, greatly retarded the work. The Mt. Kellett Road Bridge was completed, and the banks above Pokfulam Reservoir were made good.
At the close of the year, this work was nearly completed. There remained only the retention money to be paid to the Contractor on the final making up of the bank of the motor road to the South of the proposed garage site, below Plunkett's Road.
