185. Further Reclamation at Shamshuipo.—This work was referred to in paragraph 155 of last year's Report.
Whilst satisfactory progress was maintained throughout the year with the work of depositing pell-mell rubble for the sea and nullah walls foundations, the depositing of filling material from Lai Chi Kok foot-hills, and the manufacture of cement concrete blocks for the foundation of the sea-wall, the depositing of filling material from the main cutting above Taipo Road was somewhat disappointing. As this cutting was found to contain solid rock and such a large crop of boulders as to make it unwork- able for the amount of filling material required for this reclama- tion, arrangements were being made at the end of the
year to obtain the bulk of the filling from an additional cutting at Mong Kok, East of Taipo Road.
Of the main items of work, the rubble mound foundation of the sea-wall had been completed, 385 cement concrete foundation blocks manufactured, and a total of 318,271 cubic yards of filling material deposited by the end of the year.

Refuse Dump, Cheung Sha Wan.-This scheme is at present purely tentative and has been designed to fill the dual object of effecting a saving in the present method of disposal of city refuse at sea by dumping on a suitable foreshore within the harbour limits and thus forming a reclamation. Cheung Sha Wan foreshore near Lai Chi Kok was considered the most suitable area where such a scheme could be adopted.
Q 81
P.W.E. New Territories.
The scheme includes the construction of an earth einbaukment (protected on the outer slope from sea action by building debris) projected in a South-Easterly direction for a distance of appro- ximately 235 lineal yards from the road leading to Lai Chi Kok and thence in an Easterly direction for a distance of approximately 175 lineal yards, thus forming a camber within which dumping of refuse and earth covering can be carried on simultaneously.
The Contract for the construction of the embankment and the supply of second-hand Decauville Wagons, rails and sleepers was awarded to Messrs. Him Tai whose tender amounted to $25,365.00. The Contract documents being signed on the 4th of May, 1921.
By the end of the year, 19,136 cubic yards of earth material and 7,930 cubic yards of building debris (measured in embank- ment) had been deposited representing 35 per centum of the estimated total quantity required.

169. Construction of Water Boat Dock at Laichikok,—This dock has been designed to provide suitable and permanent accom- modation for the Water Boats supplying the shipping with water.
This service is at present, and has for some years past been, carried on in a temporary manner at the West of Ñ.K.M.L. No. 2 Lai Chi Kok, but the rapid development of this district and the increasing demands of the shipping has rendered the provision of a dock equipped with an efficient and up-to-date supply installa- tion a matter of urgency.
It was therefore decided to utilize the outer portion of a large nullah which will be required for the discharge of the waters of the valley, East of Lai Chi Kok in which the existing Kowloon Reservoir is situated, as a Dock for the Waterboats, thus causing the least possible amount of interference with the development of the Reclaination Scheme which will ultimately extend from Lai Chi Kok to Shamshuipo.
The works include the construction of a dock and water- cushion 600 feet long by 100 feet wide providing a depth of 12 feet of water at L.W.L.O.S.T., a nullah 320 feet long by 42 feet wide, a reinforced concrete bridge 50 feet long over the nullah and on which attendants' quarters will be erected, the provision of a regular system of supply pipes and meters along each side of the dock and miscellaneous contingent works.
Owing to pressure of other work, it was not found possible to complete the necessary surveys and the preparation of Contract plans and documents for the construction of the dock, nullah and reinforced concrete bridge, until December.

Fanling Waterworks Scheme.-In October, 1920, an agreement was entered into with the Royal Hongkong Golf Club for the Government to take over the existing main waterworks at Fanling constructed by the Club and to put them in an efficient condition and supplement the existing works by the construction of new works. The Club agreed to pay 5% on Government's capital out-lay and pay for water consumed at the rate of 25 cents per 1,000 gallons, Government retaining the right to supply out- side consumers.
Work was commenced in December, 1920, and, by the middle of March, 1921, the new scheme was completed and in use.

In September, spare 18" pipes were brought over from Kow- loon and laid in High Street from its junction with Bonham Road Westwards to Pokfulam Road. About 2,500 ft. of C.I. pipes were laid by the end of the year.
