Lot 5916, S.D.I., containing an area of 68,398 square feet, was resumed at a cost of $7,667.79 in connection with the Kowloon Bay Reclamation Scheme, the cost of the resumption being borne by the Promoters of the scheme. N.K.I.L. 114 was re-entered for non-payment of Crown rent.
In the Northern District, 195 lots, containing an area of 316,534 square feet, were resumed for various reasons at a cost of $1,489.40 and 240 lots were either surrendered or were re-entered for non-payment of Crown rent.
In the Southern District, 442 lots, containing an area of 875,556 square feet, were resumed for various reasons at a cost of $29,676.52 and 24 lots were either surrendered or were re-entered for non-payment of Crown rent.
17. Lease Plans. Plans and particulars (in duplicate) of 136 lots and piers were prepared and forwarded to the Land Officer in connection with the issue of leases.
18. Boundary Stones. Boundary stones were fixed for 30 lots in Hongkong, 6 lots in Kowloon and 24 lots in the New Territories.
19. Surveys. Work in connection with the Ordnance Survey of the Colony was greatly curtailed during the year owing to the fact that two members of the staff were allowed to proceed home for Military Service, two others having been permitted to do so in previous years. The Survey of Kowloon City, covering an area of about 74 acres and containing some 1,940 houses, and of certain small areas in the New Territories was completed and plotted on the Ordnance Survey Sheets. Considerable progress has been made with a detailed survey of the village of Shamshuipo and adjoining agricultural holdings. When completed, these will be plotted on the Ordnance Sheets, being subsequently reduced to a scale of 200′=1′′ and included in the general map of Kowloon. Additional portions of the Central, Eastern and Western Districts of the City were surveyed and plotted to a scale of 1 inch=50 feet. Numerous surveys were undertaken for the purpose of defining the boundaries of lots or for the preparation of sale and lease plans, etc., and, whenever practicable, such surveys were plotted direct on the Ordnance Sheets.
A considerable amount of survey work was carried out in connection with the setting out of that section of the new Coastal Road which extends from the 3rd mile-post on the Taipo Road to Laichikok. All lots of agricultural land through which the road passes were surveyed with a view to their resumption. The same was done in connection with a projected main road extending from near Mataukok to the proposed Kowloon Bay Reclamation, the trace of which passes for some considerable distance through cultivated areas.
A considerable amount of work was done in connection with lots at Pokfulam which were surveyed and plotted to a scale of 200' to an inch.
