Ha Tsia Gap and thence to Ta Ku Ling Section A $33,000.
It is proposed to construct the Section A of this road in accordance with the recommendation made in paragraph 4 of my despatch No.296 of 21st August, 1914.
A sum of $10,000 has been provided for commencing
the work of cutting back the bad corners of the road from the Kowloon reservoir to Tai Wai (on the road to Tai Po) so as to render it safe for motor cars.
Provision has also been made for improving the
existing road from Sha Kong Hui to Ping Shan at a cost of $4,200. The road will connect the village of Sha Kong Kui situat- ed at Deep Bay, with the main road from Castle Peak to Fan Ling, and is necessary for the proper policing of the district.
Item 79 is a contribution of 1,000 by the Govern- ment, being one-third of the cost of a bridge which is being erected by the villagers over the Shatin River. The bridge will afford welcome facilities to the Police in the district.
Drainage. Owing to the prevalence of malarial fever at Tai Po, a sum of $2,000 has been provided for making a begin- ning with the training of nullahs there.
