Original Report.

Report on Shing Kun Scheme

-

Second Section.

In April 1924, I submitted a general report on a scheme for the complete development of the Shing un Valley and Southern slopes of Taimoshan Mountain, dividing the scheme into five sections. I recommended that these sections be undertaken as additional water was required in Hong Kong or Kowloon, as with a pipe line across the harbour, the

water would be available both to the mainland and the island.

In June 1924, the 1st Section of the Scheme was

approved by the Secretary of State with the proviso that before any further Sections were commenced the Scheme should be submitted to him and be passed by his technical advisers.

The 1st Section of the Scheme as set forth in the

report comprised the following works:-
