7. Revenue Surveys.-Although the applications for purchase of land were not so many as during the previous year they were still very great and necessitated many surveys for sale plans etc. Development was commenced of numerous lots sold in 1923 and the survey staff was engaged constantly in setting out building areas. More than 64 of such areas were defined in Hongkong and 220 in Kowloon and New Kowloon. In addition many lots on the reclaimed areas at Mong Kok and Tai Kok Tsui were also set out and numerous frontage lines to streets were checked. An area on the slopes of Jardine's Look Out containing about 82 acres was defined. Surveys were made for sale purposes of 32 lots in Hongkong, Kowloon and New Kowloon containing an area of 626,623 square feet which were put up to Public Auction and realized $411,792.00 with a resultant annual Crown Rent of $3,034.00.
Recommendations, Schedules and plans were prepared for exchanges of numerous Village Lots at Wongneichong in connection with the proposed development scheme, and of about 700 Village Lots and Lots not conforming with the Town Planning scheme in Kowloon and New Kowloon. The necessary exchanges of land were arranged for a number of lots in connection with street widenings.
8. Ordnance Surveys.-During the year the work of training Chinese Student Surveyors was continued under the supervision of a European Surveyor. The number at present engaged on the work is 17. The survey of the Western District and the City was continued and the City boundary which for a considerable distance on the Southern side follows the 700 ft. contour, has been defined from a point on the sea shore at Kennedy Town as far Eastward as Magazine Gap Road and boundary stones fixed at suitable points. The total area surveyed and plotted during the year was about 587 acres. An area of 452 acres has been reduced from a scale of 50 ft. to one inch to a scale of 200 ft. to an inch.
