(4). New Saiyingpun School. The same remarks apply. (5). New Queen's College. The present site of the College is becoming impossible for an educational
establishment owing to the growing congestion of the
neighbourhood. An excellent new site is being prepared.
The work should be completed as soon as possible. I
consider that this also should be regarded as a loan work.
There will be considerable receipts from the sale of the
old site not its full value as much of it will have to be
sacrificed for new streets and these should be devoted
-
-
to paying off Treasury Bills as suggested above.
(6). I should include this under the general head of
quarters, discussed under (1) above.
(7). Reinstatement of Kennedy Town Police Station. Not
urgent. A small work such as should naturally be provided
from revenue.
(8). Reconstruction of Saiyingpun Market. Necessary in
the near future. It will bring in some return from
increased stall fees. Should, I think, be regarded as a
'revenue' work.
(9). New Infectious Diseases Hospital. The Principal
Civil Medical Officer presses for this. Personally I am
not satisfied as to the necessity but it would certainly
be a convenience. It is not in my opinion a matter of
urgency and I consider that the cost should be kept as low
as possible and provided from revenue as funds permit.
(10). New Government Offices alterations. Essential
to accommodate the growing requirements of the Post Office
and Treasury and for a new Wireless Office.
(11). Rebuilding of No.8 Police Station. An essential
work owing to the growth of the district. Already well advanced.
