Sir.

Lots 2429, 2433, 2460, 2336, 2424, 2343,

Agricultural Lot 799 & Buildings on Lots

12 AM 14

2335 & 2337, S.D. IV, Sham Shui Po.

I have received an application from Mr. J.C.

Clark on behalf of a client asking upon what terms Government

would be prepared to exchange the above lots for sites in the

vicinity in accordance with the new laying out of this District.

The following are particulars of the lots

proposed to be exchanged:-

(a). The areas coloured blue viz.: Lots 2429, 2433, 2460,

2336, 2424 & 2343 are building lots.

(b). The area coloured yellow viz.:- Lot 799 is an agricultu-

-ral lot.

(c). Areas coloured green viz.:- Lots 2335 & 2337; in this

case applicant only ows the superstructures, the

actual lots being owned by other parties.

As all the lots interfere with the improved

laying out of the District, I recommend that two areas as shown

coloured red and marked A & B on plan and containing 5915 sq.ft.

and 4437 sq.ft. respectively be granted in exchange for the above

lots as Inland Lots on the terme stated below.

With regard to the areas coloured green, I

have valued the buildings on the lots and the land proposed to be

granted in exchange has been calculated at a premium of 35 centa

per sq. ft. and an equivalent area of land is included in the

proposed new lots. The applicant has agreed to the following

terms:

The Honourable

The Colonial Secretary.
