PROPOSED TERMS OF THE SALE AND CROWN LEASE.
1. In consideration of the terms agreed upon and upon completion of the reclamation of the above lot to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works, it is proposed to grant a Crown Lease of the whole area coloured red on the said plan and having a total area of 72,350 square feet for a term of 75 years, commencing from the 31st October, 1918, renewable for a further term of 75 years at a re-assessed Crown Rent. The amounts of the premium and Crown Rent are subject to re-adjustment when the recla- mation has been completed in accordance with the area actually occupied.
2. The Crown Lease of the area coloured red on the said plan will be subject to and contain all Exceptions, Reservations, Covenants, Clauses, and Conditions usually inserted in the Crown Lease of Kowloon Marine Lots in the Colony of Hong Kong; the Lease will also specify the purpose for which the land is leased (i.e., whether for the purpose of reclamation, building dwelling houses, factories, or godowns for the storing of coal or other goods, or whether for any other purpose) and shall contain a proviso that in the event of the lessee, his executors, administrators, and assigns, or successors and assigns (as the case may be) failing, at any time during the continuance of the term of the said Lease to use the demised land for the purpose so specified as aforesaid, without the pre- vious licence or consent of His Majesty, His Heirs, Successors or Assigns, signified in writing by the Governor, then it shall be lawful for His Majesty, His Heirs, Successors or Assigns, by the Governor or by any officer authorised by him in writing, to re-enter on the land, foreshores and Sea beds included in and demised by such Lease or any portion thereof in the name of the whole, and thereupon the same shall be forfeited to and vest in the Crown; the Lease will also contain in particular a reservation to the Crown of all mines and minerals under the demised land. The Lease will also contain a proviso that the Lessee is to have the option of renewing the Lease for a further term of 75 years at a re-assessed Crown Rent to be fixed by the Surveyor of His Majesty the KING.
3. The Lessee of the lot will also have to pay the sum of $6.25 for each boundary stone required to define the lot, and $30 for the Crown Lease.
"No. S. 157.-Notice is hereby given under section 3 of The Foreshores and Sea Bed Ordinance, 1901, that all persons having any objection to the granting of the lease on above described must send in particulars of their objections in writing to the Colonial Secretary before the expiration of a period of one month from the 18th day of May, 1928, and all such objections will be considered by the Governor in Council.
And notice is also given that if after the expiration of such period of one month the Governor in Council shall declare it to be expedient to grant a lease of the said lot, such lot will be leased and that the Crown Lease of the lot shall be deemed to demise to the lessee the foreshores or Sea beds included in such lease free and discharged from all rights, privileges, profits-a-prendre, and easements, whether public or private, which may have existed or may be claimed in or over such foreshore and sea bed, so far as is neces- sary for carrying out the purpose for which the land is leased.
