Patrol Path from Lin Ma Hang to Sha Tau Kok.— This path which is being constructed for Police Patrol purposes is a continuation of the Path from Ta Ku Ling to Lin Ma Hang, reference to which was made in paragraph 197 of last year's Report, on to Sha Tau Kok Village. Its width is six feet and the length approximately three and a half miles.
The work was let on 22nd June, 1929 in two parts "A" and "B" of Contract No. 43 of 1929. Part "A" which covered that section between "Lin Ma Hang Village and No. 11 Boundary Stone" was let to Mr. Ah Cheong for a sum of $35,820.00; whilst Part "B" referred to that Section for "No. 11 Boundary Stone to Sha Tau Kok" and was let to Mr. Pang Loong for $40,186.50.
Such poor progress was made with Part "A", owing to the Contractor, Mr. Ah Cheong, carrying out the work in a dilatory manner, that by the end of the year it was considered advisable to close his Contract and award it to Mr. Pang Loong, the Contractor for Section "B".
The progress on the latter was good and by the end of the year all earthworks were practically completed.
