The Southern portion of the coast line of Cheung Chau Island, about 4 miles long, was surveyed in connection with the laying-out of a Reservation area on the Island.

A valuation of all the remaining village lots in Shamshuipo (Survey District IV) was made, a number of resumptions being effected or exchanges arranged in the case of certain lots and also of the lots within the area formerly known as Kowloon Farm Lot 13. Certain lots at Shaukiwan were valued in connection with an improvement scheme.

18. Squatters.-The whole of the old squatter's holdings which came within the purview of the Squatters' Board, (Ordinance No. 5 of 1890), have been dealt with. This item will accordingly disappear from future reports.

The remainder of the Reserve, containing an area of 801 acres, was also taken over by the Government, a sum of $122,412.53 being similarly credited. These two areas, which were required in connection with extensions of the Kowloon Docks, were taken over in accordance with the terms set forth in the Lewis Memorandum (Item 34). Two portions of the area occupied by Kowloon East Battery, containing 66,371 and 38,900 square feet respectively, were acquired for Kowloon Dock extension, the sums credited to the Military Authorities in the Military Lands Account being $23,229.85 and $13,615.00 respectively.
