127. Quarters for Subordinate Officers adjoining King's Park.--Reference is made in paragraph 16 of this Report to the acquisition of Kowloon Inland Lot 1132, a portion of which is being utilized in conjunction with some adjoining Crown land for the erection of these quarters.
A contract for the preparation of the site, which included the removal of a considerable portion of the hill occupying the site, was let to Messrs. Kang On & Co. in June and was completed during August. A contract for the erection of the quarters was let to Messrs. Sang Lee & Co. at the beginning of September and, as it was found necessary to erect a retaining wall to support the remainder of the hill, this work was also entrusted to Messrs. Sang Lee & Co. The contract includes the erection of a terrace of eight 2-storied houses, together with fence walls, etc.
By the end of the year, the walls of the buildings were approximately up to ground floor level, the retaining wall being constructed to about the same height. A large quantity of timber had been brought on the site and all ground floor frames were ready for fixing.

128. Hunghom Police Station--Additions.—Plans were prepared and approved for adding another storey to the Servants' Quarters and for carrying out considerable extensions to the main building. As it was not possible to vacate the building, the work had to be undertaken piecemeal, only the additional storey on the Servants' Quarters being proceeded with during the year. The additional storey is for the accommodation of Indian and Chinese Constables. Considerable progress was made with this.
