capacity for the distillation of sea water. These schemes are in addition to the basic provision of a steam-driven turbo-alternator set to make the plant self-sufficient for electrical power. The Kowloon incinerator plant is expected to be operational in 1966.
Emergency Water Scheme
7.17. A light beacon was installed at short notice on a cliff at Stanley Fort as a navigation mark for tankers using Lamma Channel to carry water from the Pearl River. The installation involved the laying of 1,380 feet of four-core underground cable on a rocky hill.
Motor Vehicles
7.18. New designs were produced for special types of motor vehicle bodywork to meet the specific needs of departments and arrangements made for their construction on local contract. These included a dog-control van, mobile travelling dispensaries, clothing vans and ambulances. Contracts were also let for the construction of 15-cwt. pick-up trucks, 30-cwt. vans, Police vans, Prison vans, 3-ton covered lorries and 5-ton dropside lorries to standard body designs.
Miscellaneous Installations
7.19.
The following miscellaneous projects were also completed: (i) The erection of all the equipment in the new Kowloon South Sewage Screening Station at Tsim Sha Tsui was completed and was awaiting acceptance trials.
(ii) A steel platform with access ladder was built at Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse to accommodate the lamp room from Cape Collinson. (iii) Both the mechanical and electrical work involved in the installation of the passenger lifts and ramps at the new North Point Passenger Ferry Piers were supervised by this Sub-department.
(iv) Approximately 95% of the installation of security-control warning-system road lights and dam-crest lights at Shek Pik Dam was completed. The installation of the remainder requiring the laying of underground cables was in abeyance pending the completion of some civil engineering work.
(v) A new type of fixing clamp for the rail-mounted blast screens on the jet-aircraft maintenance area at Kai Tak Airport was designed to replace the original unsatisfactory clamps. One screen was fitted with the new clamps and satisfactorily passed a full blast test.
