133. Reclamation opposite K.M.L.'s 29-31, Yaumati.--Satisfactory progress was made with this work, 91,000 cubic yards of material being deposited, leaving only about 3,000 cubic yards to be deposited in order to complete it. The sea-wall enclosing the reclamation was completed with the exception of the quoins for the entrance to the slipway which is being constructed in connection with the depôt for the repair and coaling of Government launches. The south wall of the nullah in Public Square Street, between Reclamation Street and the sea-wall, was raised to the level of the Reclamation. Two gullies were also constructed in the low-lying portion of Reclamation Street, between Market and Public Square Streets.
The slipway for Government launches, which is being constructed by the Contractor for the reclamation as an extra on his contract, was proceeded with. All the concrete blocks required for the work, 62 in number, were made and 17 of them were set. The hand-packed stone foundation for the slipway floor was nearly completed and the pitching of it was laid over a considerable length.
1913 Estimates, $38,000.00 Total Estimates, Expenditure to 31/12/13, $87,000.00
1913 Expenditure, - 37,494.14 - 61,069.99
134. Typhoon Refuge, Mongkoktsui.-Good progress was made with the breakwater and with the reclamation to the south of Kowloon Marine Lot No. 32, adjoining the northern entrance to the refuge. The rubble mound forming the foundation of the pier, which will project from the western frontage of Kowloon Marine Lot No. 49 to enclose the refuge to the south, was completed in 1912 but the superstructure was not proceeded with, as it was considered advisable to allow as much time as possible for the settlement of the rubble mound.
