DRAINAGE.
Hong Kong.—Considerable progress was made with the re-construction of Wong Nei Chong nullah, sections 1 and 2 being completed, and a start being made on section 3 (from Bowrington Canal to Chinese Race Stand) which was about half finished by the end of the year.
New sewers and storm water drains were laid to a length of 2,500 feet; and stream courses were trained to a length of 2,450 feet.
Good progress was made with the re-drainage of the area between the Praya and Queen's Road East, in connexion with the Praya East Reclamation scheme.
Kowloon. The section of the large stormwater culvert in Tong Mi Road necessary for present requirements was completed.
A start was made after the rains with the large nullah in the New Cemeteries Area, Homuntin, and good progress made.
New sewers and storm water drains were constructed to the length of 9,030 feet.
Trenches were cut and swamps filled-in, in connexion with the anti-malaria campaign.
New Kowloon.—New sewers and storm water drains were constructed over the area generally to the length of 3,930 feet, and in the Kowloon Tong Estate to the length of 13,346 feet.
Anti-malarial work was continued, and nullah training carried out on the hillsides north of N.K.I.L's 420 and 362, Cheung Sha Wan.
New Territories.—Various works were carried out, of an anti-malaria nature, at Taipo and Taipo Market. Some small extensions were made to sewers, and additional gully connexions given.
WATER WORKS
Hong Kong.—The Western half of the Service Reservoir at the Eastern Filter Beds was completed and put into use while the covering of the Eastern half was nearly completed. Considerable work was done also in approach roads, sandwashing sites, banks etc.
The change from slow sand beds to fast gravity filter beds at Bowen Road was completed, and the new Paterson Rapid Gravity Filters were put into use in June and proved very satisfactory.
