81. Compensation under the Buildings Ordinance of 1903.-This vote provides for the resumption of areas to form Scavenging Lanes and for the payment of compensation in connection with the removal of houses over the ends of private lanes or streets. In some cases, instead of the area devoted to Scavenging Lanes being resumed, an agreement has been entered into with the owner to the effect that the lane is to be properly maintained so long as the buildings abutting on it exist, and in a few cases the owners have surrendered the areas required, in whole or in part, in consideration of being permitted to count them as part of their open space.
The following is a statement of the resumptions effected during the year : Scavenging Lanes resumed on payment of compensation:-
In rear of Nos. 70 to 80 (even numbers) Ko Shing Street,
