Q 25
In Kowloon, during the period under review, 410 acres were surveyed of which 388 acres were plotted. Traverses were laid down and permanent marks fixed, the total length of the traverses being 53 miles.
were erected at
20. Triangulation (minor).-Monuments Cha Ko Ling, Shaukiwan, Taikoo, Quarry Point and North Point. The side Channel Rocks-Lyemun Rocks (a side in the main triangulation) was used as a base and observations taken from these two points and the stations enumerated above. Wet and cloudy weather came on before the work was quite completed and the final readings were postponed until the Autumn. Unfortunately one of the monuments was carried away by a landslide in July and a large portion of the work done was wasted. A monument has been erected in a new place and at the end of the year the necessary observations were almost completed. New stations were erected at Round Island, Stanley Gap and at the junction of the New Repulse Bay Road with Aberdeen-Repulse Bay Road. These were fixed by observations taken off the main triangulation.
21. Revenue Surveys and General.-Surveys were made for plans to be attached to Crown Leases of 144 lots, the largest being an area of about 46 acres leased by the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company, Ltd., at Hung Hom. Boundaries of 28 lots in Hong Kong and 100 in Kowloon and New Kowloon were defined on the ground for building areas.
Centre lines were laid down for various streets and permanent marks fixed; boundaries of numerous blocks were set out for the Drainage Department.
In Hong Kong 41 frontage lines to streets were checked and in Kowloon and New Kowloon 105. For the purpose of ascertaining if sites had been formed to the required levels more than 180 lots were roughly delineated. Permanent marks at intersection points of streets and corners of lots were fixed on that portion of the Praya East Reclamation which has been reclaimed. This work entailed a very accurate traverse of 11,600 feet and numerous check measurements.
22. Boundary Stones.-Boundary Stones were fixed to 120 lots in Hong Kong and 184 Kowloon and New Kowloon. None were fixed in the New Territories.
23. Cemeteries.-The following cemeteries were surveyed and the boundaries defined on the ground by means of reinforced concrete posts:-
Shek O Cemetery 13 Sai Yu Shek Cemetery 1 Cheung Sha Wan Cemetery 82 Kowloon Central Cemeteries 16 an area of 2-3 acres. 27 132 11Q 25
