hand for a Marine Licensing Station at Castle Peak and drawings were completed for the new Yau Ma Tei Slipway, whilst sketch plans were under preparation for the office buildings which will form part of this scheme. Plans were also in hand for a temporary Seamen's Recruiting Office, a Government Publication Centre and other minor projects.
Quarters
2.25. 90 married quarters of different grades were finished at Hung Hom for personnel in the Preventive Service and tenders were invited for 110 more of the lower grade quarters for the Preventive Service at North Point. 26 Type I quarters for senior Government officers and 32 Type II quarters were completed at Pipers Hill on the mainland, whilst 100 more Type II quarters were progressing satisfactorily at Magazine Gap in four separate buildings. A large building at the junction of Kennedy and Macdonnell Roads to provide 124 service flats and communal facilities for senior Government officers was well advanced. Alterations were carried out at Government House, including improvements to the kitchen, the air-conditioning of the dining-room and extensive redecoration. Mention of other departmental quarters is made elsewhere in this report.
Buildings at Kai Tak Airport
2.26. Work was completed on extensions to the Kai Tak Terminal Building, whilst construction was in progress on extensions to the Apron Workshops and the Freight Building. Drawings were prepared for extensions to the Apron Equipment Shelter.
Other General Buildings
2.27. A multi-storey car park building, designed on the ramped floor system for 912 cars in 8 storeys with a Telephone Exchange at the top and with space for shops at ground and mezzanine floor levels, was finished and put into operation in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. Preparation of tenders and designs for these shops was proceeding at the end of the year. Except for the fuel oil installation, an Air Radio Station at Tathong Point was also finished.
2.28. Working drawings were completed or in progress for the Tai Lam Animal Quarantine Depot near Castle Peak, additions and improvements to the Ma Tau Kok Slaughterhouse and for the reconversion of Statue Square into public gardens. A private architect was employed for the latter project, the expenses of which are to be shared jointly by Government.
