69. As no funds were provided for the second and final stage—the electrical workshops and offices—no progress was made beyond the preparation of sketch plans.
Cadastral Survey of New Territories.
70. This was described in last year's report, and the first camp for survey parties, consisting of living accommodation for assistant surveyors and survey coolies, drawing office, office for surveyor-in-charge, a store and two garages, was completed at Tsun Wan in July. A similar camp was completed at Shatin in October. Plans for another camp on part of the site of the Castle Peak Hospital were completed by the end of the year.
P.W.D. Offices, Kowloon.
71. As a result of recent expansion of the Public Works Department, the accommodation planned in the New Government Offices was inadequate. It was, therefore, decided to build branch offices in Kowloon for those sub-departments which administer work in Kowloon and the New Territories. A site was chosen at the corner of Ma Tau Wei Road and Farm Road.
72. The first stage of the scheme consists of a five-storey administration block to accommodate the Roads Office, Drainage Office, Buildings Ordinance Office, Crown Lands & Surveys Office, with Roads Office covered parking area and stores planned on the lower ground floor level. This building is designed to take an additional three floors at a later date, if required. Depots are also included with open yards and single-storey workshop blocks for the Drainage and Roads Offices. Tenders were called for the site formation work and the working drawings were nearing completion.
73. The second stage of the development will include the erection of electrical and mechanical workshops, similar to those recently constructed at Caroline Hill, with a three-storey stores block and a vehicle yard adjoining.
