148. The Imhoff tank at Repulse Bay was completed and at the end of the year was working in a very satisfactory manner.
Anti-malarial Works
149. Only repairs and minor extensions to existing anti-malarial channels were carried out during the year except for major repair of Ede Road necessitated by a landslide.
Surface Water Drainage
150. The removal of sand and silt from nullahs and catchpits was carried out as normal maintenance and all clean sand considered suitable for building purposes was taken by the Sand Monopoly for sale.
151. The nullah in Island Road, where it passes through Aberdeen, was culverted for a length of 650 feet for the dual purpose of doing away with the bad smells arising from the open nullah and of providing greater width for the main road.
152. The nullah running through the Tai Hang Tung Resettlement area was decked over and two box culverts were constructed across the reclaimed area at Hunghom. An additional box culvert at Tsun Wan was in hand at the end of the year with a view to avoiding further damage similar to that caused by the heavy rains during April.
153. The Albany nullah was culverted from Bowen Road downwards for a length of 260 feet in preparation for improvements to Garden Road.
Typhoon and Rain-storm Damage
154. Only minor damage was caused by rainstorms during the year and expenditure was incurred mainly as a result of many small landslides which caused silting in nullahs.
