17. Surveys. Some progress was made with the Ordnance Survey, about 140 acres being surveyed and plotted to a scale of 1 in 50 ft. This was chiefly composed of very close detail work in the City of Victoria. The two remaining members of the staff, of those who had been on Military Service, returned early in the year, but two others were allowed to go on long leave and a third was absent on three months leave. Owing to the increased number of applications for land and the numerous surveys required for lease plans and for defining the boundaries of lots, the staff was chiefly occupied during the year in dealing with such work.
