(4.) Extension of 11,560 square feet to Inland Lot 1898, as shown red on the plan enclosed marked (4). This area could not have been sold separately owing to the steep

nature of the land.

(5.) Extension of 5,003 square feet to Inland Lot 1548 as show red on the plan enclosed marked (5). This area

is too small to have been sold separately as an Inland Lot,

but enabled the lessee of Inland Lot 1548 to construct a

tennis court.

(6.) Extension of 2,860 square feet to Inland Lot

1453 as shown red on the plan enclosed marked (6). This case

is similar to the extension of Inland Lot 2206 referred to in

(3) above.

(7.) Extension of 8,975 square feet to Inland Lot

2237 as shown red on the plan enclosed marked (7). This area

was not likely to have been sold to any other bidder, being

steep hillside and impossible of development as a separate

lot.

In the above seven cases, the premium and

Crow rent charged have been fixed at the same rates as those for the areas in respect of which the extensions have been granted.

There is an eighth case, which differs slightly from those already described. It consists of

(a) an extension of 625 square feet to Kowloon

Inland Lot 1220, as shown green on the plan

enclosed marked (8), and

(b) two extensions of 523 square feet and 2,008

square feet respectively to Kowloon Inland Lot 1218, as shown blue and yellow on the same

plan (8).
