5.14. By the end of the year this section was responsible for the collection of rents amounting to over $6 million per annum in respect of some 130 properties, 8 commercial piers and 18 ferry piers. Close co-operation is maintained with the Registrar General, who advises on the legal aspects of the Section's work and with the Maintenance Division of the Architectural Office, which supervises the carrying out of repairs.

Assistant Superintendents:
R. GILES, F.R.I.C.S., F.R.G.S., F.V.I. (to 19.2.67)

5.15. The work of the Survey division can be divided into three main categories:
(a) Control Survey. The provision of horizontal and vertical control, viz., triangulation stations, picket-boxes, traverse stations and level datum bench marks which provide a rigid framework on which all survey work of the Colony is based.
(b) Revision Survey. The preparation of large scale plans for the whole Colony and their subsequent revision at regular intervals.
(c) Revenue Survey. Surveys for title which involve defining boundaries and setting out new planned areas; surveys for surrenders, grants, sales, exchanges, etc.
Various sections employed on the above type of work are stationed at the Central Government Offices and in Kowloon, Tsuen Wan, Yuen Long and Fanling; from these offices the whole of the Colony is covered.
## Control Surveys
5.16. Once again the main effort in respect of control surveys has been the provision of ground control for the air survey projects now in progress. The ground control programme for the 1/600 scale projects (Hong Kong and New Kowloon) was completed. On the 1/1200 scale programme (New Territories), the island of Lantau was completed.
## Revision Survey
5.17. A large proportion of the staff normally employed on revision of plans has been employed on the checking of the machine plots supplied.
