cipality during the year was the construction of a new
main road running from east to west between the Sea
Road and what was originally the edge of the town
before the ground inside the sea road was reclaimed.
This road cuts through the property of a number of
different people including Government land, Mespers
frontage, and the Amara of Abdurrehman Zayani, and H.S
Shaikh Hamad’s property. In places where buildings
were removed compensation was paid by the Municipality.
Part of the road was across ground that had been pre
viously reclaimed and part of it was across unfillea
in spaces. Up to now about Rs 9000/- has been spent on
the work but there remains a considerable amount of
filling in to be done. This new road will benefit the
owners of long strips of property lying between the
town and the sea road which are at present mostly
inaccessible except by narrow lanes running from
North to South. At the same time three of these lanes,
which were unhealthy water channels and receptacles
for rubbish, have been filled in.
