Land Sales. &c.
In the Northern District, 220 lots, containing an area of 191,882 square feet, were resumed for various reasons at a cost of $1,298.64 and 118 lots were either voluntarily surrendered or were re-entered.
17. Lease Plans.--Plans and particulars (in duplicate) of 88 lots and 2 piers were forwarded to the Land Officer in connection with the issue of leases.
18. Boundary Stones.--Boundary Stones were fixed for 21 lots in Hongkong, 8 lots in Kowloon and 16 lots in the New Territories.
19. Surveys.--Good progress was made with the Ordnance Survey of the Colony during the year. The whole of the Hill District, with the exception of a few lots and a portion of the Peak Tramway, was completed as well as considerable portions of the Central and Western Districts of the City, the whole being plotted to a scale of 1 inch to 50 feet. Arrangements are now being made for the production of a general map of the Hill District on a scale of 1 inch = 200 feet by reducing from the 50-foot plans.
The Ordnance Survey of Kowloon Peninsula (scale 1 inch = 50 feet) was completed and is now being finally revised. A general map has also in this case been prepared on a scale of 1 inch = 200 feet by reducing from the 50-foot plans. It has however been considered advisable to include in the general map portions of New Kowloon, namely, Shamshuipo and Kowloon City, and, when these have been completed, the map will be sent home for reproduction. The surveys of Shaukiwan District, Aberdeen Village and adjoining cultivated areas and Pokfulam Farm Lots—the last-mentioned survey embraces an area of about 150 acres, were completed and plotted on the Ordnance maps. An area of about 150 acres of farm and orchard land at Fanling, New Territories, was surveyed and plotted. The new road from Taipo to Fanling, about six miles in length, and the light railway from Au Ha to Sha Tau Kok were surveyed and plotted, besides about 10 acres of salt pans at Sha Tau Kok. The main triangulation of the Colony was extended towards Tung Lung Island, Cape D'Aguilar and Beaufort Island, about a dozen new stations being erected and valued. This was done partly in connection with work required by the Military Authorities.
The following villages in the New Territories, comprising 4,601 houses, were surveyed and plotted during the year—
Yeung Kong Wai, Sun Hang Wai, Shek Kong Tsun, Tung Tau, Lung Uk Tsun, Shek Kong Wai, Ki Hang Tsun, Ha Tsun, Sheung Cheung Wai, Ping Shan Tsai, Ping Shan, Tong Fong, Shan Cheung, Hiong Yuen, Shui Tau, Wing Hung Wai, Shui Tan, San Tsui, Tam Shui Hang, Kong Ha, Wai Tsai, San Tsun, Tong To Tsun, U Shek Kok, Lek Mei, Im Tso Ha, Shek Kiu Tau, Ho Wo Hang, An Ha, Nam Chung Cheng, Nga Iu Tau, Ma Tseuk Ling, Tai Long, Tsui Hang, Sheung Wo Hang, Leuk Keng, Sheuk Pan Tau, Kui Kuk Shui, Ho Lek Pai, Nam Hang Mei, Lo Tung Tsui, Man Uk Pin, Ma Mi Hang, Hok Tan, Tam Chuk Hang, Hok Tau Pui, Leng Pei, San Wai and San Uk Tsai.
