Organisation. The Land Survey office, which includes

a staff of surveyors under the direction of an officer design-

ated the Principal Land Surveyor, forms a branch of the Public

Works Department. Its principal function in the past has been

the survey of leased areas, which were generally of small extent,

but the acquisition of some 350 square miles of new territory

in 1999 and extensive developments in the Colony generally have

necessitated an extension of its operations.

The Principal Land Surveyor, in addition to supervising the usual survey work necessary in a rapidly developing Colony, 19 the executive officer for dealing with all matters relating

to Grown lands, the whole of which are under the charge of the

Director of Public Works. He submits reports on all applica- tions for land, conducts all sales of areas to be let on long leases, prepares permits for temporary occupation of land and licences for temporary piers, and attends to the preparation of lease plans for lots of land, quarries, permanent piers, 10., and to the keeping of the numerous records.

The work performed by the surveyors is of a very varied character as will be gathered from the particulars given later in this report. Each surveyor is responsible for co-ordinating

his own traverses and plotting them.

Two Land Pailiffs, whose time is wholly occupied in pre- venting illegal squatting and encroachments upon Crown land, which are very common offences among the Chinese population, are attached to the office.
