with an experimental 1 inch thickness of vibrated stabilized laterite; two coats of sprayed bitumen and fine sand provided a sealing coat to the stabilized laterite and formed a resilient playing surface. Approximately 8,700 square yards of roads and paths and 16,000 square yards of playing areas were complete by the end of the year.
275. Maintenance work was carried out at the Kai Tak Airport as necessary and included patching of the taxi track, 13/31 and 07/25 runways with bituminous materials, and the resurfacing of a further section of 2,600 square yards of the hardstanding. All markings were repainted.
276. To alleviate traffic congestion at the Terminal and to provide an enclosure where friends can greet passengers, the concourse area near the Terminal Building was increased by about 3,200 square yards. This provided a 5 foot footpath in front of the building, a traffic island, a taxi rank, additional parking space and a fenced enclosure.
Quarries
277. Quarrying, crushing and screening of granite continued throughout the year at Hok Un Quarry (Kowloon) and at Tsat Tze Mui Quarry (Island). Both plants were operated by direct labour and supplied the bulk of the Public Works Department's needs for concrete aggregate, roadstone and bitumen macadam.
278. The plant used and the methods of operation were similar to those described in previous reports. Early in the year, however, one of two new Pegson Telsmith 36 inch cone crushers was installed in Tsat Tze Mui Quarry as a secondary crusher in place of the Broadbent 16 inch × 5 inch granulater and the output of small size crushed stone was considerably increased.
279. Installation of the second 36 inch cone crusher and a new 10 feet × 4 feet triple deck Pegson Telsmith vibrating screen in Hok Un Quarry was started.
