slope wall to the edge of the reclamation facing onto the small harbour which is being provided behind the original 500 feet length of breakwater. Work proceeded satisfactorily.
Seawall at Tsuen Wan Reclamation.
211. Dredging work was completed by the dredging unit of the department and a contract was prepared for the construction of approximately 550 feet of seawall to contain the private reclamation and to provide temporary landing facilities for the proposed Hong Kong & Yaumati Ferry service from Jubilee Street to Tsuen Wan.
Hung Hom Reclamation.
212. The reclamation progressed rapidly and towards the end of the year it was found necessary to close the dump to public dumping, pending the construction of the seawall needed to retain the filling, although overburden from Government works at Tai Wan Hill, Ma Tau Wei Hill and Hok Un Quarry continued to be tipped into the reclamation.
213. Plans were prepared and dredging by Departmental plant was commenced for the erection of approximately 1,500 feet of the necessary seawall at the northern end of the reclamation.
Central Reclamation Stage III.
214. Plans were prepared for reclaiming an area approximately 262,500 square feet lying between Morrison Street and Rumsey Street and extending 250 feet seawards from the existing praya wall. It was not possible to commence actual reclamation work during the year as the necessary dredging plant was not available. However, as part of the preliminary work of this scheme, the alteration of Victoria Public Pier No. 12 to accommodate the Macao Ferries and the demolitions of V.P.Ps. No. 11 & No. 18 were undertaken and completed.
Other Design Works.
215. Designs and drawings were prepared for new piers at Tap Mun and Kat-O while preliminary investigation and designs were carried out for new piers at Kei Ling Ha Hoi, Chimawan Prison and the Government Stores Department, North Point.
