Loss of Storeys.
Compensation was paid for the loss of a storey at No. 17 Aberdeen Street (Inland Lot 60, Sec. G, s.s. 2) resulting from the operation of sub-section 3 of section 188 of the Buildings Ordinance. The house in question collapsed and had to be rebuilt in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance relating to the erection of new buildings.
Amount paid, $1,176.90
Compensation was also paid for the loss of part of a storey at No. 33 Tung Street (Inland Lot 233), the owner of which claimed a sum of $3,000. The matter was referred to arbitration and some legal difficulties which arose were argued before Mr. Justice Gompertz with the result that a sum of $625 was awarded as compensation, with costs against the Government. The latter, including fees paid to the Arbitrator and Architect appointed by the owner of the property, amounted to $1,864.85.
An old party wall at the rear of No. 13 Aberdeen Street was found to be in a dangerous condition and, as it stood partly on land which had been resumed by Government in connection with the Mei Lun Lane Resumption Scheme, half the cost of taking it down, amounting to $36.47, was defrayed by Government. The item was charged to the vote "Compensation".
