151. Road giving access to Inland Lots 1946 and 1947 on spur east of Happy Valley.-Under the Conditions of Sale, a road had to be made to give access to Inland Lots 1946 and 1947, which are extensive lots occupying the ridge of the spur on the east side of Happy Valley. The necessary survey was made, plans were prepared and a contract was let in October. Good general progress had been made with the work by the end of the year.
1913 Estimates, $16,500.00
1913 Expenditure, $1,449.94
Total Estimates, Expenditure to 31/12/13, $16,500.00 $1,449.94
152. Levelling portion of West End Park to form a Playground. As an area of land at the junction of Lyttelton and Park Roads, which had been used as a playground for some years past by the schools in the neighbourhood, was appropriated as a site for Subordinate Officers' Quarters, it was decided to level a portion of the West End Park situated somewhat further to the west and a supplementary vote was taken to enable the work to be proceeded with.
A contract for the work was let in April. Owing to a landslip, which occurred at the south-east corner as the result of a rainstorm, it was necessary to construct a retaining wall to support Lyttelton Road. The building of this wall proved to be a troublesome matter on account of the large boulders encountered and the sodden nature of the ground. The cost of constructing the wall has been charged against the vote for Typhoon and Rainstorm Damages.
The entire work was nearing completion at the close of the year.
