TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1976

THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT IF EITHER DOMESTIC OR COMMERCIAL TENANTS FELT THEY COULD RECEIVE MORE COMPENSATION THEN THE EX-GRATIA AMOUNTS OFFERED BY THE GOVERNMENT, THEY WERE ENTITLED TO MAKE CLAIMS, WHICH IF NOT ACCEPTED COULD EVENTUALLY BE CONSIDERED BY THE LANDS TRIBUNAL BUT THEY STILL HAD TO VACATE THE PREMISES AS REQUIRED. IF THE AMOUNT AWARDED BY THE TRIBUNAL WAS GREATER THAN THE GOVERNMENT'S INITIAL OFFER, THEN THE GOVERNMENT WOULD MAKE UP THE BALANCE.

THE EX-GRATIA COMPENSATION DOES NOT APPLY TO OCCUPANTS OF TEMPORARY STRUCTURES OR ROOFTOP STRUCTURES, FOR WHOM THERE ARE SEPARATE ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE.

APART FROM THE TENEMENT BLOCK AT SHEK KU LUNG ROAD, OTHER PREMISES IMMEDIATELY AFFECTED BY RESUMPTIONS FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES INCLUDE SOME BUILDINGS IN NATHAN ROAD, TAI PO ROAD AND SAI YEUNG CHO STREET NEEDED FOR WORK ON THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY, SOME BUILDINGS IN WANCHAI NEEDED FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE CANAL ROAD MARKET AND ADJOINING ROADWORKS, AND OTHER BUILDINGS NEEDED FOR THE URBAN RENEWAL SCHEME.

BUILDING CORPORATIONS URGED TO USE THE IR NAMES CORRECTLY

******

MEMBERS OF BUILDING MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES AND OTHERS INTERESTED IN BUILDINGS IN RESPECT OF WHICH CORPORATIONS HAVE BEEN FORMED WERE TODAY ADVISED THAT THEY SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE NAMES OF THE IR CORPORATIONS WERE CORRECTLY USED SO AS TO AVOID UNNECESSARY DIFFICULTIES OR CONFUSION.

A SPOKESMAN FOR THE LAND OFFICE SAID THAT THIS PARTICULARLY APPLIED TO LETTERHEADS, NOTICES AND CHEQUE BOOKS.

HE ADDED THAT THE NAMES OF CORPORATIONS FORMED UNDER THE MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS (OWNERS INCORPORATION) ORDINANCE MUST BE IN A CERTAIN FORM, WHICH INCLUDES THE WORDS +THE INCORPORATED OWNERS OF+ FOLLOWED BY THE NAME OR DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING.

THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN DRAWN TO HIS ATTENTION RECENTLY THAT SOME MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES OR OTHER PERSONS HAD NOT BEEN USING THE CORRECT NAMES UNDER WHICH THEIR CORPORATIONS WERE REGISTERED.
