200. Mong Kok Tsui and Shamshuipo Ferry Piers.-Working drawings of wrought iron piers were prepared and forwarded to the Crown Agents for the Colonies, who invited tenders for the supply of the Structural ironwork of the piers. Tenderers submitted prices for the supply of structural steel and copper steel alloys. No tender was received for wrought iron materials, and the proposal to build the piers in wrought iron was abandoned.
A contract was let on 6th June for the construction of the above piers in reinforced concrete. The contract provides for two piers each 150 feet in length and 50 feet in width with approaches. The approaches are formed by a reclamation extending 100' seaward of the sea wall by about 60' in width, protected by pitched slopes on a rubble foundation. Electric hoists and ramps fixed on the pier will provide facilities for the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers.
The whole of the piles, 108 in number, were manufactured at a blockyard at Taikoktsui. At the end of the year, 50 piles had been driven, also the rubble foundations and plinth course were completed.
In November, a contract for the supply of the electric hoists was placed with Messrs. John M. Henderson of Aberdeen.

Expenditure, $35,986.77
