GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 23rd. October, 1918.
I have the honour to report for your
covering authority particulars of an exchange of land which has been approved by His Excellency the Governor at Ma Tau Kok in the Kowloon Peninsula, on behalf of the owner of Kowloon Inland Lots 1109 and 1094, shown edged in blue on
the enclosed plan.
2.
An application was received for the reconstruction of a godown, show hatched in black on the plan, but since the situation of the lots interfered with the laying out scheme of the district, and part of the go- down actually stood upon a proposed main road, it was thought advisable to take advantage of the opportunity offer -red to adjust the boundaries of the lots in question.
3.
In exchange for the Lots 1109 and 1094, the owner has been granted two lots bearing the same num- bers shown edged in red on the plan, and in addition has been given a lease without premium of the area shown colour-
-ed red on the plan.
4.
This additional lease for 75 years,
renewable at a re-assessed Crown Rent for a further 75 years,
has been by way of compensation for
(8)
the above-mentioned godown, valued at £2,000
which will now be removed,
(b)
a shortage of 6,000 square feet in the new Lot
1109 edged in red.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
WALTER LONG, M.P., &c..
