Q 65
P.W.E, Hong Kong.
Owing to dumping from other sources, the material available in Morrison Hill is more than the quantity required to fill in the Praya East Reclamation. The material on the top portion of the hill appeared to be more satisfactory for reclamation purposes; therefore, it was decided to cut down to a level of 55 feet above O.D. instead of to the levels originally decided.

130. Construction of Nullah through Bowrington Canal from South of Praya to Leighton Hill Road.—This work was referred to under the heading **"Twin Culverts"** in Annexe L at page 166 of last year's Report.
The nullah is 1,052 feet in length and 30 feet in width, the East side thereof being formed for a distance of 635 feet by the existing wall of the Bowrington Canal which has been raised by about 3 feet 6 inches in height. Good progress was made with the construction of the remaining portion of the East wall, 185 feet being erected. 820 feet of the invert and a similar length of the West wall had been completed at the end of the year. This work necessitates the reconstruction of a portion of the bridge at Leighton Hill Road and of the bridge over the Bowrington Canal on the Praya East Roadway, but this reconstruction work has not been put in hand.
