FIRE BRIGADE.
49. Kowloon Fire Station. This scheme was referred to in last year's Annual Report but, after the preparation of sketch designs and an estimate, the site on the corner of Argyle Street and Waterloo Road was considered to be unsuitable for the erection of a Fire Station. A new site has now been approved on the corner of Prince Edward Road and Tong Mi Road and a revised scheme has been prepared. The scheme has been approved by Government.
50. Tsun Wan Fire Station. A sketch scheme for a sub-Fire Station at Tsun Wan was prepared and has obtained Government approval.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.
51. Sheung Shui Revenue Station and Quarters. Building work commenced in March 1951. The site for the building is on the Fanling cross-roads and conveniently placed for vehicular traffic coming from the Border. The accommodation provided comprises offices, a godown and quarters for thirty Revenue Officers and a flat for one Revenue Inspector.
52. Rice Godowns, Kowloon. Two rice godowns of a total floor area of 72,000 square feet were erected on site adjacent to Chatham Road. Work on these buildings was completed in August 1950. Owing to staff shortages in the Architectural Office, the work was carried out by private architects.
POST OFFICE.
53. Alterations to Post Office Building. In order to improve the working conditions in the Post Office Building, extensive alterations were carried out during the year. These involve the erection of new partitions, redecoration, the provision of additional lighting and the enclosure of verandahs. An order was also placed for one goods lift and two mechanical hoists which will be installed during the year 1951-52.
ROYAL OBSERVATORY.
54. Radio-Sonde Station. Work on the Radio-Sonde Station at King's Park was commenced in December 1950, and is due to be completed in April 1951. The accommodation comprises offices, laboratories, stores, caretaker's quarters and a balloon filling shed. As the site is necessarily on the top of a hill unencumbered by other buildings to avoid the high cost of an approach road up the hillside, a cable railway has been provided for hoisting gas cylinders from a loading bay about 100 feet below the level of the Station.
