That the government can insist on having rent paid on the ground the leaseholders have obtained beyond their boundaries, or, if they do not agree to this, that their lands can be resumed for public use now, cannot, I should think, be doubted, since it is by their own act that they have destroyed the value of their lots.\n\nThe land which would be given them in addition, in fact the proportionment of the 188,000 feet still requiring to be filled up to the road. No doubt this is most valuable land, and properly so to the holders of the Marine Lots in front of which it is situated; but, as I believe, Government could compel them to take it, but under the power of the Lease-granting Government to build roads, they, in front of the Marine Lots, it can keep from alienation of the ground it thus creates, and use it for the public service. I have, however, no doubt that the Marine Lot-holders would gladly accept reasonable terms, except perhaps in a few instances, where, from the nature of the buildings in the Lots, large additional rental could not well be borne.",

It also lacks proper Markdown formatting.\n\n## Step 4: Correct spelling errors and spacing issues\nCorrecting spelling errors such as \"VRAISE\" to \"VRAI SE\" or more likely to the correct title or header, \"PROJET DE LOI\" is correctly spelled, \"Aokt\" to \"Août\", and other similar corrections throughout the text.\n\n## Step 5: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks\nRejoining sentences that were split due to OCR layout errors and restoring paragraph breaks where necessary to improve readability.\n\n## Step 6: Indicate missing words\nInserting `...` where words are clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7: Apply Markdown formatting\nApplying Markdown formatting for headers, sub-headers, bold text, and tables as necessary.\n\n## Step 8: Check for specific formatting rules\nEnsuring that file references are formatted without spaces inside parentheses and that page numbering is preserved as per the original scan.\n\n## Step 9: Reorder text if necessary (for newspapers)\nSince the text is not from a newspaper but a treaty, reordering is not necessary based on the given content.\n\n## Step 10: Output in HTML format using  for paragraphs\nConverting the corrected and formatted text into HTML using `\n\n` for paragraphs.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nVRAISE \n\n7 Août 1875 \n\n7 Août 18 \n\nPROJET DE LOI \n\net la ville d'Issoudun (Indre, en vue d'assue pense résultant de l'extension du caserres es définitivement approuvée. \n\nJOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE \n\nArticle unique.

C.**\n\nSir,\n\n22325 (RES 14 FC 96)\n\nI am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies that my Lords have again considered the proposed extension of Hong Kong Naval Yard with reference to the Praya Scheme and the rough sketch accompanying your letter of 31st August 1894.\n\nUnder the Praya Scheme, it is contemplated to form a public road through the site to be occupied by the New Dockyard, the water frontage of which will be somewhere about the 3 fathom line, as marked on the chart. The road would apparently be within 100 yards of the wharf wall, and the level of the roadway would be on the same level as that of the Dockyard, access to the wharf being gained by subways, or by means of arches or columns if the road were carried at a higher level.\n\nThere are insurmountable objections to having any road so close to the wharf wall. I think we should consider their width for the commenting mother respects proud people.\n\nThe Lands County Council do not like the road being paid for by selective tide walks.\n\nThe intermediate land between the 2 Praya roads being very narrow, it is not considered desirable to have a road with a width of 75 feet, including side walks.\n\nI think we should have a width of 60 feet or say 75 feet with side walks for the Praya Road.\n\n### In reply quote \n`WL 639 596`\n\n## \np. 180\n\n### 25/1/96 The Eraya Wall\n\nWe should have to obtain from the Colonial forts any reasons for legislation - rights of forfeiture.\n\nThis will also entail modifications of the Military Lands scheme on the footing when under it or subjected to the de Military sites - but this must first be considered.\n\n### Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, \n`L.P.-No. 7. COLONIAL OFFICE`",

Staff has been weakened by the retirement of Mr. Bowdler and Mr. Malsch on pension, the resignation of Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Hazeland and the death of Mr. Prosser. The only new appointment made in the time was that of Mr. T.H. Hughes who however has been almost exclusively employed in the New Territory.\n\nDuring the same time, the area of the Colony has been increased from 50 to over 400 square miles. Three large permanent Police Stations have been erected in the New Territory at considerable distances from Hongkong, and a fourth is under construction over 40 miles away by sea, while three more have been sanctioned but not started. The mileage of roads in Hong-Kong has been considerably increased by the completion of Sec Tons of the Fraya, the opening of Barker Road and Chamberlain Road, the completion of MacDormell Road and the extension of roads in British Kowloon. The mileage of telephone lines have been more than trebled by the extension to Taipo, Pingshan, and the northern boundary of the New Territory. The decrease in Staff, coinciding with an increase in work has pressed hardly on every member of the Department.\n\nAlthough the Votes for annually recurrent expenditure have remained nearly stationary for some years, the number of buildings to be maintained, the mileage of roads, of storm drains, of sewers, and of water pipes and services have largely increased and the duties of supervision become more onerous.\n\nBy the retirement of Mr. Hazeland, Mr. Tooker is left without assistance in the supervision of maintenance and the Building Ordinance work, the latter largely increased moreover by recent legislation regarding insanitary properties, Ordinance of 1899 Clauses 9 and 10, throws very important duties on the Public Works Department, though the expenditure which will be...",

It can readily be understood from this how, immediately on the removal of the shore half of the pier, there came to be increased trouble with cargo boats grounding, and why Mr. Howard's letters on the subject of silting became more frequent and voluminous.\n\nThe piles of such piers as Mr. Howard's\n\n7.\n\nare usually driven quite through the mud, and into the hard ground; and in estimating the proportion of the pier compensation fund to be awarded to Mr. Howard, it was assumed that his wharf was so constructed. By this method of reckoning he was awarded, I should say, about $8,000 for timber which did not exist; and I am afraid the quality of the existent timber was over-rated, for it decayed with astonishing rapidity, and had the pier not been designedly removed it would very soon have disappeared from natural causes.\n\n8.\n\nFrom all this it would appear, at a superficial glance, that Mr. Howard has been very well treated in the matter of the pier; but, according to the principles adopted in fixing the compensation to be paid to him in respect of his lot, if his pier had been valued at nothing at all he would have received an additional sum, by way of compensation for his lot, equal to the amount which has actually been awarded to him in respect of his pier; and his nett position as regards compensation would have been neither better nor worse than it is now.\n\n9.\n\nI do not think that Mr. Howard was entitled to any compensation for distortion of his pier, caused, through the rising of the mud, by the depositing of the perre perdue.

I saw the Chinaman fall into the water from the verandah of my office, 3rd floor, King's Building; and I immediately rushed down to his assistance, but as the Elevator had stopped running, it took me a little time to come down; however, in the meantime, Mr. Bevan had jumped in and rescued him, and with the help of Mr. Gibson, an Indian Policeman, and a Chinese boatman, we hung on to the Constable's turban which was thrown out to Mr. Bevan, and after some difficulty, we managed to bring them both ashore. The man was brought under the archway in a very bad condition; in fact, we had very little hope of his recovering, but after I had rendered first aid to him by artificial respiration for about twenty minutes, he rallied, and later on, he was taken away by his friends.\n\nI consider that Mr. Bevan's plucky act is worthy of some recognition.\n\nc/o Messrs.

No buildings have so far been erected on Kowloon Marine Lot 81, but there is still time for the lessees to carry out the Building Covenant.\n\n8.\n\nUnder the conditions above stated, the follow-ing are the particulars of the lots as re-arranged:-\n\n  \n    \n    Ares.\n    Crown Rent.\n  \n  \n    81......\n    55.150 Sq.ft.\n    $390\n  \n  \n    Kowloon Marine Lot 34..\n    78,850 .132,000TM\n    1,058 ~~31,448′′\n  \n  \n    Total square feet.\n    or 3.03 acres at an average Crown Rent of $478 per acre.\n    \n  \n\nWith regard to the value of these lots, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire paid $4 per square foot for ad-joining land, (without any buildings on it) which is subject to a Crown rent of $850 per acre. There are buildings on Kowloon Inland Lot 210 and Kowloon Marine Lot 34, but they are not of a substantial character and their value is estimated at $24,000.\n\nThere is however a substantial iron pier of 10,800 square feet in area projecting from the lot, the value of which may be put at $60,000.\n\nOn the above basis, the value of the lot would be as follows:-\n\n  \n    Land....132,000 Sq.ft. @ $4\n    $528,000\n  \n  \n    Buildings.\n    .24,000\n  \n  \n    Pier.....\n    .80,000\n  \n  \n    Total..\n    $812,000.\n  \n\n9.\n\nI have been informed privately that, in June, 1905, Messrs. Leigh and Orange, who, I understand, were acting on behalf of the Lessees, were of opinion that a firm offer of $4.50 per square foot was likely to be accepted. I think that this",

P. Lenfestey,\n\nsecond clerk, an officer of 12 years service who was specially\n\nattached in the Junk Office in February, 1911, to keep a close\n\nwatch on the Chinese Staff and prevent fraud.\n\nAll licences for Junks and Boats are signed and issued\n\nin the Junk Office by Mr. Lenfestey, who also signs and issues receipts for the fees for such licences.\n\nThe fees covered by the receipts for boats were collected\n\nby the Third shroff, Lai Wing Tak, who kept a cash book in\n\nwhich he entered the cash received by him for such fees.\n\nThe receipts are all issued from audit-numbered receipt books issued by the Treasury, each receipt having a counterfoil.\n\nIt is possible therefore to check each counterfoil\n\nagainst the shroff's cash book, and it was, I submit, Mr. Lenfestey's\n\nduty to do this under General Order 315(3), issued by Treasury\n\nCircular of 12.12.10.\n\nIt was also my duty as Deputy Collector to check these counterfoils\n\nagainst the cash book and to see that no forms had been used other than those so entered (G.O. 315(4)).\n\nThis duty I endeavoured to perform in the following\n\nmanner:\n\nEvery evening the 3rd shroff brought to me his cash\n\nbook and receipt books.\n\nI examined the counterfoils from my last signature or what I took to be my last signature, and made a note of the amount on a scrap of paper, totalling my memorandum and the cash book and if the amounts corresponded I initialled the cash book, and also initialled the back of the counterfoil of the last\n\nreceipt issued.\n\nNext day the shroff would hand me the receipt book and I noted my initials on the last counterfoil and started checking\n\nthe cash book from that point.\n\nThe only manner in which this check failed was by the shroff forging my initials on the counterfoils so cleverly that I\n\ncould not detect the forgery.",

About 10 P.M. on the 3rd August 1919, I was on board the float which was lying at the buoy in the Harbour, off Statue Wharf. I heard a Police whistle being sounded, the sound appeared to be in the direction of the Star Ferry Wharf. I heard someone shout in Chinese for a boat to be lowered from the Float. Along with Wong Kan King & Lo Kwai, two of the seamen, I lowered the dinghy. We rowed the dinghy in the direction from which the sound came. At a distance of about 15 yards from the Fraya, I saw a man struggling in the water. Sergeant Wall Field was also in the water. I saw Sergeant Field get on board a sampan and attempt to get the man on board. The man whom Sergeant Field was attempting to rescue was struggling violently. I assisted Sergeant Field in getting the man on board the sampan.\n\nThe man rescued fell into the water a second time. The Sergeant got him on board the sampan a second time. Sergeant Field then landed the rescued man at Statue Wharf. He handed him over to European Police in uniform. The rescued man was then to all appearance unconscious. When I first saw Sergeant Field on the sampan, his clothes were soaked in water.\n\n## Metadata\nTaken on: 4. 9 - 19  \nTaken by: William Murison, Chief Detective Inspector  \nInterpreted by: Ng Ping U, Sergeant Interpreter  \n\nPage 332",

        "content_text": "Council\n\n10\n\nLEPIEJ TM\n\nquestion which the hon. member pui at an earlier stage of this meeting. In regard to the same subject the Government as speedily as possible is marking out land in the Ho Mun Tiu district and hope very shortly to come to some arrangement with the parties interested in the building of a geriam number of houses there. It is also marking out land at Kowloon Tong and arrangements there are being advanced as speedy as possible. I think the grant of cheap land and easy communication will very largely solve the housing difficulty. It was found in the recent allotment of money that the large majority of the applicants were men of straw who had no possible security to give. Their only suggestion was that the Government should provide the houses for which they should pay some $25 month. Only one has made a definite proposition and he has been given very cheap land at Fanling and an advance of half the cost of his house.\n\nThe hon. member has learnt with astonishment that no steps have been taken to proceed with the proposed tramway to Wanchai Gap. I, for my part, bear this statement with astonishment, because the unofficial members, who are members of the Public Works Committee of this Council, advised that it should be left out. I would mention that a rough survey has been prepared and a very rough estimate of the cost is two lakhs, without taking into account motive power of any description. We might take power from the Hongkong Electric Company. One reason why it got going on is that sites at Wanchai Gap are being opened up by the new road.\n\nOne of the reasons for the Wanchai Gap Tramway was the inadequacy of the present tramway to the Peak. We are negotiating with the Peak Tramway Company to bring the tram down to Queen's Road and to enlarge the cars to carry nearly double the number of people they now carry. I hope the arrangements made will not necessitate any large increase in fares.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. POLLOCK-I should like to ask when the unofficial members said they advised leaving out the tram to Wanchai Gap.\n\nThe GOVERNOR-During my absence, I think, Mr. Pollock.\n\nThe hon. member also referred to omary land in Nathan Road, Kowloon, and expressed the hope that there would be nearly co-operation between the military and Government on that matter. We can assure him on that point. The project generally is that the military should go over to the other side and that they should give up that area along Nathan Road, known as Whitfield Barracks; that the European troops should be accommodated at Gun Club Hill and King's Park, leaving the golf course intact and that native troops should be to the north and east of Kowloon city. It is hoped that we may be able to take over the military hospital and that a new hospital for the military would be built on one of those hills directly west of the Cement Works. The smoke nuisance will have to be abated. With regard to the U.S.R.U., it is suggested that this should be on the site of the present parade ground at Whitfield.\n\nThese proposals are, of course, purely tentative.\n\nThe Fraya Basin Reclamation is being pushed on as quickly as possible. The preliminary work is very heavy and two engineers are devoting their whole time to the matter. As soon as figures are ready tenders will be called for. The hon. member has expressed the hope that, in order to assist the Kai Tack Reclamation scheme, the Kowloon East ferry service and the motor-bus service should be pushed on. As regards the ferry service, tenders are being called for this week. As regards the motor-bus service, we have referred the proposed schedule and rates to the Kowloon Residents' Association and we are merely waiting till they have given us their views.\n\nThe hon. member suggested appointing a Committee to discuss and report on the feasibility of the Naval Wireless Station Stonecutters being used for commercial purposes and in this connection, I may refer also to the remarks made by the member representing the Chamber of Commerce. The matter has been fully discussed and it will serve no useful purpose to go into it again. It has been pointed out that the station is not powerful enough and the system on which it is run is not fitted for commercial work in the ordinary sense. With regard to the general question, I have here the report of the Imperial Wireless Committee, 1919-20, which considered the whole subject of wireless telegraphy throughout the British Empire. It is apparent to everybody we cannot stand alone. We must have stations linked up in order to get our messages through to England.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY then read several extracts from the report to the effect that stations not more than 2,000 miles apart were recommended, a commencement to be made with the chain ending in Hongkong.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. HOLYOAK-I have read the report very carefully myself. What I wish to emphasise is that we must have a station and we must have it at the earliest possible moment. This morning's paper reports wireless messages between Bordeaux and Shanghai and New York and Manila.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY-In reply to Mr. Lau Chu-pak on the question of the hawkers I am astonished that Mr. Holyoak has expressed his sympathy with the hon. member's remarks. I am surprised because Mr. Holyoak has also stated that Hongkong has not begun to realise that there is such a thing as motor-traffic. The question of hawkers is primarily one of traffic control, and of good order and cleanliness. It is admittedly difficult for the Government to state exactly the number required in the public interest before they transgress into a public nuisance. They admittedly squat with their stalls all about the thoroughfares and litter the place with refuse and add very considerably to the labours of the Sanitary Department in scavenging. They insist on selling their wares in prohibited areas and generally obstruct traffic. Anyone who has been through western Victoria or Yaumati will agree. We have waged incessant warfare to get the streets reasonably clear and I submit it is unfair that we should be asked to issue licences indiscriminately and then put on extra Police to chase them from pillar to post. The Government estimates a revenue of $28,000 on 7,000 licences, as against 9,000 in the present year. It is not proposed to reduce the numbers by taking away licences; all hawkers who now have licences will have them renewed and if there are more than 7,000 applicants for renewal, licenses will be renewed accordingly. Licenses will also be given to applicants in special cases, but they will not be granted to all and sundry. It is not proved that because a license is refused to a person he immediately becomes a criminal but it is true in many cases that a hawker takes...\n\n219",

The facts of the case are as follows.\n\nSection C of Marine Lot No.118 was on the 20th of January, 1899, transferred by his father to Mr. Cheung Ah Shap, who, while selling the land in 1900, appears to have reserved reclamation rights, intending thereby to claim as or in place of the frontager, if any reclamation or extension seawards should subsequently be made. In 1921 such a reclamation was commenced, the Praya East Reclamation Scheme.\n\nUnder Section 4 (1)(C) of the Praya East Reclamation Ordinance, 1921, persons who although not then owners of the land had reserved to themselves the right to participate in any such reclamation scheme became entitled to participate. A period of three months was allowed to such persons to enter into the participation agreement required by the Ordinance, failing which their rights ceased, and the Government participated in their stead, with consequential obligation\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE  \nLORD PASSFIELD,  \n&c., &c., &c.  \n17 NOV 1930",

In consequence, this Government carried out and paid for the reclamation of the area, 13,608 square feet in all.\n\n## 5.\n\nIn 1929, when the Praya East Reclamation was practically completed, he made application for permission to participate retrospectively in the scheme, which amounted to a proposal to refund to Government all money expended on the reclaimed area and to take immediate possession of it.\n\n## 6.\n\nThis proposal was not considered possible, and it was held by the legal advisers of the Crown that he had no enforceable claim for relief.\n\n## 7.\n\nHe then petitioned on moral grounds, i.e., that his failure to participate was clearly the result of his absence from the Colony. There appears to be no doubt that had he been in the Colony, he could have disposed of his right to participate in 1921, with all the obligations and risks, at an estimated figure of $2.00 per square foot, or $27,216. The property, which has cost $32,804.44 to reclaim, is today valued at $120,000, but it must be remembered that Cheung Ah Shap escaped all the burdens of outlay and other anxieties of the scheme, and as he had left the Colony, it seems almost certain he would have sold out in 1921 if he had entered into the necessary participation agreement.\n\n## 8.\n\nI have consulted my Executive Council, and with their concurrence, I have the honour to request Your...\n\nPage 3.",
