105. Works Contingent on Land Sales:--As in the case of Works Executed on Private Account, owing to the rapid building development, work under this head was considerably in excess of that anticipated. The following were among the major works carried out:

Hong Kong:-The un-trained section of the stream-course at Ming Yuen had given rise to serious complaints regarding flooding and, with the development of Inland Lot 1705 on its east bank, the opportunity was taken to construct a concrete stepped nullah 8 feet wide by 6 feet deep. This work was put in hand towards the end of the last financial year and completed during the year under review, a length of 310 feet in all being constructed. At Shing On Street the nullah 10 feet wide by 8 feet deep was extended by 25 feet to meet new development. Building development at Jardine's Lookout necessitated the laying of some 2,500 feet of 6" sewer in Tai Hang Road. This work was put in hand but owing to the shortage of pipes only 900 feet were laid during the year. 378 feet of 6" sewer were laid in Electric Street to serve newly constructed property on Inland Lot 2837 below Kennedy Road. Considerable delay was experienced owing to the necessity for the resumption of the private section of the street. A system of stormwater drains centred on North Point Road and having an outfall through the property of North Point Wharves Ltd. was laid to serve the area covered by Marine Lots 430 and 431, 747 feet of 15", 88 feet of 18", 178 feet of 24" and 248 feet of 33" culvert being constructed.

In addition the following sewers and stormwater drains were laid:-335 feet of 6" sewer in South Bay Road to serve Rural Building Lots 404, 428, 431 and 436. 410 feet of 6" and 30 feet of 4" cast iron sewer in Middle Gap Road to serve Rural Building Lots 537 and 562. 235 feet of 6" sewer in Tai Hang Road serve Inland Lots 6358-6361. 327 feet of 6" sewer in Wongneichong Gap Road to serve Inland Lot 6071. 445 feet of 6" sewer in Po San Road to serve Inland Lot 6070, 70 feet of 6" sewer in Electric Road. 215 feet of 9" stormwater drain in Des Voeux Road and Sai Yuen Lane. 250 feet of 6" sewer in King's Road north of Inland Lot 2366. 90 feet of 9" stormwater drain in Robinson Road. 150 feet of 6" sewer in the scavenging lane at the rear of Shaukiwan Inland Lots 425-429. 244 feet of 6" cast iron sewer in Black's Link. 120 feet of 15" and 53 feet of 27" stormwater drain in Garden Road between MacDonnell Road and the Waterworks Pumping Station.
