15. Naval and Military Lands.-A total area of 6,633 square feet was taken over from Military Authorities for widening Garden Road.
An area of 220 square feet was surrendered by the Naval Authorities for a public purpose,
An area of 327,387 square feet known as part of the Belcher's Battery was, however, transferred back to the Military Authorities.
16. Piers.-In Hong Kong an extension was granted to Permanent Pier No. 8 opposite Marine Lots Nos. 297 and 305 The premium was $1,280 (area 128 square feet).
There is nothing to report under this heading in Kowloon, New Kowloon, and New Territories.
17. Cemeteries.-The Christian Chinese Cemetery at Kaulung Tong was closed during the year.
18. Re-entries.-15 lots in Hong Kong, 36 lots in Kowloon, 11 lots in New Kowloon, 33 lots in the Southern District and 225 in the Northern District were re-entered during the year.
SURVEYS.
19. Ordnance Survey. The staff of the Survey Office has to a large extent been concentrated on this work. The survey of the whole of the City of Victoria has now been completed and during the year 358 acres have been surveyed and 380 acres plotted, the chainage totalling more than 52 miles. Seven sheets have been reduced from a scale of 50 feet to one inch to a scale of 200 feet to one inch. Considerable revision, owing to numerous road improvements, erection of new buildings and reconstruction has yet to be carried out but it is hoped that this will be practically completed during 1927.
A number of traverses were run outside the City to enable the detail work to be carried on in the outlying districts. One traverse with a chainage of 3,350 feet was run from Mount Nicholson via Wong Nei Chong Gap to join up with a main traverse at the junction of Bowen Road and Stubbs Road, and from a station in this traverse at Wong Nei Chong Gap a traverse of 9,866 feet was made along the new Repulse Bay Road to a Trigonometrical station at the junction of this road with the Aberdeen-Repulse Bay Road.
Mount Gough Trigonometrical station was connected with the Peak Trigonometrical station by a traverse of 8,965 feet, and various minor traverses were run in connection with the revision survey of the Peak District.
