Irregular ground (and indeed there is none otherwise in the Colony at the crest of Wong Nei Chong), except should be previously formed, brought to the proposed levels, and finished with such sewers and surface drains as may be demanded subsequently to the sale.

Requisition W. 5 of 1855 provided for a change in the direction of steps from Paine Road to Arbuthnot Road, £4.5.0 authorized.

Requisition No. 13 of 1855 was to remove a landslip at the Gap after the unprecedented falls of rain in the Autumn. The cutting of the Gap is 98 feet deep, and though it has stood at its present slope for 13 years, a fall of 400 cubic yards blocked up the Road; the removal of this and other services was authorized, making it more secure at a cost of £16.10.2, but this proving insufficient, a further amount was allowed, bringing the total expenditure up to £31.18.17, and I am in hopes that no further slips may occur.

Requisition W. 16 of 1855 provides for the repair of the Queen's Road in portions East and West, convict labour being at the time unavailable, expenditure £28.13.7.

Requisition No. 17 of 1855 was also authorized for a similar service to the above on some of the streets in worst repair in other parts of the City.
