KANG ON and CHANG A TONG, Nos. 1835 and 3, respectively, for the construction of the storm-water drain and the retaining wall and other works at the junction of Pound Lane and Taipingshan Street, have made fairly satisfactory progress.

drain.
This, however, will shortly be completed and a contract entered into for the necessary work over about one half of the resumed area.
