wide Kwun Tong Road, filling material being obtained from site formation at Ngok Yue Shan.

183. In connexion with an investigation into the safety of wells sunk in the area previously used as a refuse dump, a small-bore well was sunk to a depth of 100 feet on a site reserved for a resettlement flatted factory. Throughout the sinking of the well the Government Chemist carried out tests to determine the presence of dangerous gases.

184. Construction of a new 200 yards small arms range at Smugglers Ridge provided a replacement for the Police 25 yards range absorbed by the Military Hospital.

Kowloon

185. Work continued on the formation of the new military hospital site at King's Park to replace the existing hospital in Bowen Road; the project requires the construction of over 1,500 feet of walling and the excavation of more than 600,000 cubic yards of earth. Some delay to the work resulted from a decision to make major changes in the layout and levels of the site in order to provide a much greater area for playing fields in exchange for the 10 acres of military sports grounds in Boundary Street.

186. The reinforced concrete portal over the Kowloon-Canton Railway to support the extension of Nairn Road to Gascoigne Road reached an advanced stage of completion.

## SURVEYS

187. These included:

(1) the provision of horizontal and vertical control for all Development Office projects;

(2) detailed and contour surveys of sites for planning purposes;

(3) the location on the ground of alignments and points for preliminary site investigations;

(4) measurement surveys to provide data for the calculation of quantities for interim and final payments;

(5) the establishment on sites of horizontal and vertical construction lines and points indicative of formation levels and slopes.

## WORK UNDERTAKEN BY CONSULTANTS

188. Messrs. Scott and Wilson, Kirkpatrick and Partners received their brief for Kwai Chung (Gin Drinker's Bay) Reclamation Scheme in November and in January two contracts were awarded, one for land and the other for marine investigations.
