24. The large bridge over the stream at the top of the reserve, which was destroyed by storm damage in 1931, was rebuilt.
25. Protection of Plantations.-Total lengths of old fire barriers and forestry paths cleared were 45 miles and 41 miles respectively. The forestry path in Mount Collinson was extended and one new fire barrier made; 33 new fire barriers were made round the same number of old graves on Red Hill, Stanley.
26. Undergrowth Clearing.-Anti-malarial clearing was carried on, in all parts of the Colony, the total area cleared for this purpose was 2,702,210 square feet. For other purposes, such as work in connection with the formation of reservoirs, roads, other public improvements and building sites, the areas cleared totalled 3,434,520 square feet.
27. Forest Guards Services.-The worst cases of damage to Pine plantations were in the Aberdeen and Diamond Hill districts.
28. Forest Guards arrested and charged 140 persons with forestry offences; 113 were convicted and fined or sentenced to terms of imprisonment. The Police arrested and charged 201 persons, and 190 were convicted. Eleven persons who were convicted of two or more forestry offences were banished.
29. Trees Felled. The thinning of the Fan Ling Pine plantations was commenced. The removal of large areas of Pine and wild trees was carried out at Tytam Valley in connection with the construction of water catchments and reservoirs.
30. Large shade trees were removed in many parts of the Colony on account of the necessity for road widening and the development of building sites; the areas from which such trees were removed were as follows: Wong Nei Chong, Wanchai, Wyndham Street, Pokfulum Road, Robinson Road, and Aberdeen.
31. Miscellaneous Planting.-Statue Square was replanted with young trees of Bauhinia variegata; the old trees, which made such a fine show during the early months of the year, were almost entirely wiped out by gales during the past three years. On account of the continuous damage caused by motor cars carelessly parked, each of the young trees has been protected by a very strong all-metal tree guard; this has so far protected them from serious damage.
32. An experimental planting of Acacia pennata as a hedge plant was commenced in West End Park.
33. Shade trees (Aleurites triloba) were planted in the newly formed open area at Aberdeen Market.
