GENERAL
6.01. The Office is divided into three divisions which are reported on under individual headings. The year was a quiet one in the sphere of private land development and many Crown lessees experienced difficulty in maintaining payment of instalments of premia. This resulted in considerable staff time being devoted to obtaining payments due. In a minority of cases this was not possible and the Crown had to exercise its power of re-entry thus bringing additional property under the management of the Property Management Section of the Land Division. Government projects continued at a high level and the overall work load, although distributed with different emphasis, showed no slackening. In the same way there was no lessening of demand on the Planning and Survey Divisions.
6.02. The continued importance of air survey both for mapping and special purposes was a notable feature of the work of the Survey Division during the year. Also of note was the increasing use of surveys to control interim payments to contractors engaged on Architectural Office site formation contracts.
6.03. On the planning side the year saw the Tsim Sha Tsui Outline Use Zoning Plan agreed by the Town Planning Board and approved by the Governor-in-Council. At the end of the year the Superintendent attended the Seminar on Regional and Urban Planning in a Developing Society held in West Berlin.
6.04. Service on committees continued to make demands on the time of senior staff and details of inter-departmental committees on which officers of this sub-department served are as follows:
