ONE OF THE FOUR LOTS OF CROWN LAND SCHEDULED FOR AUCTION ON FEBRUARY 21 HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN TO ENABLE THE CONDITIONS OF SALE TO BE REVISED SO AS TO PERMIT PAYMENT OF THE PREMIUM BY INSTALMENTS.
PREVIOUSLY THE FACILITY OF PAYING LAND PREMIA BY INSTALMENTS WAS CONFINED TO THE MORE DISTANT INDUSTRIAL AREAS IN WHICH THE GOVERNMENT WISHED TO ENCOURAGE THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW FACTORIES, AND VERY VALUABLE COMMERCIAL SITES IN THE CENTRAL AREAS OF HONG KONG AND KOWLOON.
