Map, numbered 1, accompanies this report.*

1. Organization.-The Land Survey Office, which at present includes a staff of 11 European Surveyors, 3 Junior Assistant Surveyors and 2 Apprentice Surveyors under the direction of an officer designated the Principal Land Surveyor, forms a branch of the Public Works Department.

The Principal Land Surveyor, in addition to supervising the usual survey work necessary in a rapidly developing Colony, is the executive officer for dealing with all matters relating to Crown Lands, the whole of which are under the charge of the Director of Public Works. He submits reports on all applications for land, conducts all sales of areas to be let on long leases, prepares permits for temporary occupation of land and licences for temporary piers, and attends to the preparation of lease plans for lots of land, permanent piers, etc., and to the keeping of numerous records.

Two Land Bailiffs, whose time is wholly occupied in preventing illegal squatting and encroachment upon Crown Land, which are very common offences among the Chinese population, are attached to the office.

Two Computers, three Clerks, two Draughtsmen, and five Tracers, all natives, are employed in the office.

In addition to the above staff, there are 52 Survey Coolies receiving wages varying from $9.00 to $14.00 per month with allowances.
