263. Tramway reserve islands were installed near the roundabout in Yee Wo Street.

264.

Work proceeded on the culverting of the Albany nullah between Macdonnell Road and Kennedy Road which is to be backfilled to provide space for a car park and a filling station off Macdonnell Road. A second public dump was opened in Pok Fu Lam Road with the object of providing for road realignment, a bus terminus and three service stations.

265. The construction of a 10 feet high masonry boundary wall along the boundary of the reduced portion of H.M. Dockyard was initiated. The extension of Connaught Road Central to Gloucester Road will run alongside this wall.

ISLAND ROADS, OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS

266. A new road was built at Cape Collinson for access to the new military cemetery. Stage I of the Chai Wan access road was also put in hand. This is for a single 24-foot carriageway with 9-foot footpaths and a 10-foot verge.

267. Extensive resurfacing, with improvements to sight lines and involving minor retaining works, was carried out on major roads such as Stubbs Road, Tai Hang Road and Island Road. The first two roads were improved in alignment in the vicinity of public dumps. The improvement of Pollock's Corner and the widening of Tanderagee Road progressed satisfactorily. The improvement to the junction of Barker Road with Stubbs Road was almost completed.

KOWLOON ROADS

268. A large number of roads were either wholly or partially reconstructed and improved. Many new roads were constructed in conjunction with new developments at Kwun Tong and various resettlement estates.

269. Major roadworks started, but not finished, included the reconstruction of parts of Waterloo Road, Nathan Road and Nan Chang Street. Nan Chang Street is to consist of two 30-foot concrete carriageways on either side of a 40-foot reserve suitably arranged and fenced for the accommodation of hawkers' stalls.

Page 47 appears to be indicated by its position at the end of the text block, typically three lines from the bottom. However, to follow the exact instruction for page numbering, it should be represented as it was originally scanned. Since the original scan's page numbering format isn't directly provided, I'll adhere to the instruction by assuming it refers to maintaining the page number information if it were present. The given text doesn't explicitly show the "Page XX" format, so I'll leave it as is, assuming it's not directly relevant here.
