abounds almost everywhere, with patches of cultivation in some of the valleys. There are also very extensive granite quarries upon it, but the majority of these have been excluded from the area which the Military Authorities desire to acquire.
Dealing first with the valuation prepared by the Director of Public Works, which constitutes the principal part of the amount arrived at, that officer assumed that, in accordance with the universal practice in Hong Kong, if this land had been sold in the usual way to private purchasers, the whole of the area round the coast would have been bought with a view to effecting extensive reclamations. A line has accordingly been drawn some distance outside the coast-line to define the extent to which the Government would probably have sold the foreshore and sea-bed for the purpose of reclamation. A sound or sea-wall on this line would, according to the Admiralty Chart, be in a depth of 18 to 24 feet of water, that being about the extent to which reclamations are commonly carried.
Another line has been drawn some distance inside the coast-line to define the extent to which the hills would probably be cut away in order to obtain material for filling in to form the reclamations.
The strip of land, foreshore and sea-bed comprised within these two lines forms by far the most valuable portion of the whole area required by the Military Authorities.
The prices at which these strips, on the east and west coasts of the peninsula respectively, are valued, are based, as far as possible, upon actual sales which have recently taken place in the neighbourhood.
