CATTLE LAIRAGES ON TSING YI ISLAND

Site formation for the cattle quarantine station on Tsing Yi

Island is 90 per cent completed.

The Director of Public Works the Hon. J.J. Robson, said in the

Legislative Council today that cattle lairages would be provided as

part of the station.

He was replying to the Hon. Wilson Wang who had asked about

the progress being made for the provision of cattle lairages on Tsing Yi

Island.

Work had also started on the construction of a road linking the

station to the new Tsing Yi Bridge.

Mr. Robson said: "It is hoped that the road and the bridge

will be completed around the same time."

The sketch plans of the station also allow for marine access

by way of a sea wall and a T-shaped jetty. But the plans had yet to

be finalised pending a decision on the provision of quarters for the

cattle traders staff, the Director said.
