MONDAY, MAY 29, 1978
HE SAID THERE WERE MORE THAN 1,000 INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL CONCERNS MAINLY WORKSHOPS AND SMALL FACTORIES ON AGRICULTURAL
IN THE YUEN LONG DISTRICT ALCHE.
R. CARTLAND ADDED THAT THE 1970/77 SQUATTER CONTROL SURVEY REVEALED THAT THERE WERE ASE. TE:PORARY STRUCTURES IN THE DISTRICT OF WHICH 25,000 VERE FOUND TO 28 FOR DOMESTIC RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.
ADDITIONALLY, ABOUT 1,500 HOUSES OF 700 SQUARE FEET HAD DEEN BUILT UNDER THE SALL HOUSE POLICY SINCE 1972.

+ALL OF THIS REPRESENTS A MAJOR PLANNING HEADACHE,+
MR. CARTLAND SAID, +IT CREATES PRESSURES FOR ROADS MATER SUPPLIE AND OTHER SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED EVERY HERE AT ONCE ON A HAPHAZARD BASIS,
+THE RIVERS AND STREAKS ARE HEAVILY POLLUTED WITH PIG AND CHICKEN MANURE, NOT TO MENTION THE EFFLUENT OF TANNERIES AND CTHER OFFENSIVE TRADES.
+YANY OF THE TRADITIONAL PICTURESQUE VILLAGES ARE IN DANGE? OF BECOMING INSALUERIOUS RURAL SLUNS.+
R. CARTLAND URGED A MORE CO-ORDINATED APPROACH TO RURAL DEVELOPMENT, SIMILAR TO THAT TAKEN IN THE NEW TOMAS,
HE SAID THAT MANY MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS WERE TAKING PLACE I YUEN LONG WHICH WILL DOUBLE THE TOWN'S POPULATION TO AECUT 100,000 OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
HE SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE AFFECTEL EY THESE DEVELOPMENTS ERE ADEQUATELY COMPENSATED.
HE EMPHASISED THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S COMPENSATION RULES ARE REGULARLY REVIEWED BOTH AS TO WHAT ITEMS QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION AS WELL AS TO WHAT RATES SHOULD APPLY.
HE CITED THE CASE FISH POTOS, HERE THE PATES HAD RECENTLY BEEN RE-EXAMINED A SUBSTATIALLY INCREASED TO SUCH AI, EXTEI.T THAT IS A RECENT CASE IN YUEN LONG, THE CPERATOR OF ONE POND --
CT THE OWNER WHO HAD ALREADY ACCEPTED LAND EXCHANGE ENTITLEMENT QUALIFIED FOR NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS AND WAS STILL ABLE TO HARVEST HIS FISH.
+CONSIDERING THAT THE POND WAS E PTY LESS THAN A YEAR AGO THAT IS NOT A BAD RETURN FOR ONE YEAR'S „OPA AND CERTAINLY SUFFICIENT T RE-ESTABLISH HIYSELF ELSE.PERE,+ 'R. CARTLAND NOTED.
+OF COURSE THERE WILL ALWAYS EE CASES HERE AN INDIVIDUAL FEELS, PERHAPS RIGHTLY, THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN OFFERED ADEQUATE COMPENSATION, JUST AS THERE WILL ALWAYS DE CASES WHERE SCMEGLE, TO WHỌN A FAIR OFFER HAS BEEN MADE, DELICEPATELY HOLDS CUT I THE HOPE OF SQUEEZING VORE,
+THE LATTER CASE SHOULD ATTRACT LITTLE SYMPATHY BUT IN PRACTICE IT IS DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH FROM THE FIRMER WHEN A CLEARANCE IS RESISTED AND I SITHER EVENT THE PER RECOURSE IS TO THE REUTRAL THIR PASTY, THI LUDO TOHOLTAM, INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT.+
