常常

The Building Authority today declared Nos. 220 and 222

Queen's Road West to be in a dangerous condition, and No. 224 Queen's

Road West liable to become dangerous, and ordered demolition.

In a statement issued this morning, the Principal Government

Building Surveyor said that in the course of routine inspections of

these three three-storey pre-war buildings, fractures were found in the

brick work of the load bearing party wall between Nos. 220 and 222.

There are also signs of disturbance in the brickwalls of the

rear kitchen blocks of both these buildings, he said.

Much of the structural timber of the floors and roofs is

extensively decayed, he added.

I

It is considered that No. 224, which stands at the corner of

Eastern Street and Queen's Road West, is liable to become dangerous during

or after the demolition of Nos. 220 & 222.
