Damage to Tram-ways.
283
these piers was much injured as were also the protecting walls of various other Marine Lots on the West side of the Kowloon Peninsula.
20. Neither the low level Electric Tramway Company nor the Peak Tramway Company suffered materially though the former had 6 cars derailed by the force of the wind and by obstructions on the line and ceased working entirely after the storm for the remainder of the day. On the 19th, a short length of the line was reopened. This length was extended on the 20th, and again on the 22nd, but a week elapsed before tram-cars ran on the whole line as before the typhoon.
Damage to Street, Lighting, and Telephones.
21. Much damage was done to the Gas, Electric Light and Telephone Services in Victoria, the Peak and Kowloon. Many lamp-posts were blown down and Electric Light and Telephone Poles bent and broken while for some time wires lay in tangled confusion along and across roads. The Companies who provide these services have not yet completed all repairs which were greatly put back by subsequent storms and cannot at present state their total cost.
22. Damage to other private property.
I find it impossible to give any reliable
mage to Tram-
