Page 121. The structure of temporary construction was completed in September, and the equipment was installed by C.E.M.E.
122. Changing Pavilion, Happy Valley. A changing pavilion with facilities for men and women comprising changing rooms, shower baths, lavatories and clothes storage racks was commenced at the end of January. The siting of this pavilion presented a problem as it was necessary that it should not cut off any view of the race track from the Jockey Club stands, but a satisfactory solution was reached.
123. Bone Cremator, Wo Hop Shek Cemetery. This building was required to enable the Urban Services Department to deal with unclaimed bones after exhumation.
Work was commenced in February, on a site within the existing cemetery.
124. Look-out, Victoria Peak. The end of Lugard Road, adjacent to the Peak Tramway Terminus, has always been a favourite spot for both tourists and residents as it is from here that one of the finest views of the City of Victoria and the harbour can be obtained. It was decided to provide facilities for these sightseers by erecting a covered shelter with a viewing balcony cantilevered over the hillside.
125. The structure was completed by the end of the year.
126. Victoria Park. The Architectural Office completed a considerable amount of work, in conjunction with other sub-departments, at Victoria Park.
127. This work comprised fencing, football back stops, and the equipping of the children's playgrounds. Preliminary sketch plans were prepared for an Olympic size swimming pool with public changing accommodation and a covered stand for two thousand spectators.
