In addition to the foregoing, some small areas were laid with mastic asphalt on portions of Praya East and Morrison Hill Road. Some experimental patches of compressed asphalt were laid in Wing Lok Street and in Queen's Road at its junction with Battery Path.
A tar-spraying machine was obtained for carrying out the tarring of road surfaces more effectually and expeditiously.
An improvement was made in the line of the footway in Bonham Strand at the New Western Market, South Block. This was carried out in re-instating the footway and road after the erection of the Market, in connection with which an alteration in the building line was made.
