Large Scale Plans.
76. Of the pre-war 1/600 and 1/2400 survey sheets and tracings only about half were received. In Hong Kong, eight new survey sheets, scale 1/600, and one tracing, scale 1/600, were taken up. In New Kowloon, one sheet, scale 1/2400 was taken up. In the New Territories, one sheet, scale 1/2400, was taken up. No appreciable amount of reduction from 1/600 to 1/2400 scale was carried out as no eidograph or photostatic equipment was available.
