SURVEY DIVISION

153. Setting out surveys in connexion with development showed a five-fold increase during the year over the average for the years 1951-54.

154. 733 new lots were set out compared with 443 the previous year. 91 miles of building lines for 249 lots were checked compared with 8 miles for 214 lots in the previous year.

155. The efforts made in the past three years to reduce the arrears of surveys for Crown Leases, reflected in the relatively small amount of work that became necessary for this type of survey.

156. Details of 128 lots were sent to the Registrar General for the issue of Crown Leases. 129 surrender plans made covering a total of 456 acres. 386 boundary stones were fixed for 117 lots and the boundaries of 13 lots were re-established.

Triangulation and Traversing

157. 26 new triangulation stations were established and the establishment of 1,247 permanent survey marks involved 70 miles of traversing.

Levelling

158. 16 miles of precise levelling established 90 bench marks; in addition 10 miles of levels were carried from Hong Kong to Lantau via Green Island, Kau Yi Chau, Chau Kung and Hei Ling Chau to establish a value for a Tide Gauge. 73 miles of ordinary levelling facilitated the provision of spot heights on the 1/600 survey sheets.

159. Computations from the recordings of the automatic tide gauge at North Point showed mean sea level for the year to be 4.01 feet above Principal Datum.
