undertake this work any longer. And as the facilities for

personal inspection by the Assistant Land Officer will be

correspondingly reduced there will be a very serious diminution

in the supervision of Land in the Southern District.

The two new Demarcators are required for

the same two reasons as the Bailiff, i.e. addition of a fresh

District and removal of Police control. At present I have only

one man among my mobile staff who can be trusted to identify

lots. This man has also to serve all my summonses, notices

etc. throughout New Kowloon, including hundreds of Crown Rent

summonses in July and August. Practically he can hardly ever

be spared to go on visits to the Islands. In the Islands his

work is done by the two Police Launches and the Officers in

charge at Tai O and Cheung Chau. One Demarcator will be required

to be stationed at Cheung Chau to patrol East Lantao

and Lamma; the other will be required to divide his time between

Tai O (West Lantao) and the New District.

The work of these Demarcators will, of

course, be largely "messengers work"; but the advantage of their

being able to identify Lots more than makes up for the excess

of their salaries over what would be required for two messengers.

The salaries of the Demarcators ($180 each)

would be more than covered by the allowances now made to

Police
