the Crown Land Ordinance and the Streets (Alteration) Ordinance, for the vesting of private streets in the Crown and closure of public streets respectively.

7.26

Capital Works projects during the year accounted for the resumption of 17 lots at a total cost of $8,663,631. Also during this period 22 cases in connection with road widening were completed at a cost of $4,572,046.22 and a further 20 cases involving compensation of $2,951,326.30 have been agreed but are awaiting completion.

7.27

No separate private treaty grants in lieu of cash compensation were completed during the year.

7.28

Nine areas of private streets were vested in the Crown under the Crown Land Ordinance and three street closures, two of which had been carried forward after being gazetted in the previous year, were effected under the Streets (Alteration) Ordinance.

## SURVEY BRANCH

Government Land Surveyor:

G.J. BENTLEY, Reg. Surveyor (N.S.W.)

C.A. STEYNBERG, B.Sc. (Survey) South Africa (Acting)

The Survey Branch covers a wide range of responsibilities including mapping at all scales required for development, administrative and recreational purposes and the execution of most land surveys for Government. The Branch is divided into two Divisions, one covering the Hong Kong & Islands area and the other the rest of the territory. Each Division is administered by a Chief Land Surveyor directly responsible to the Government Land Surveyor for all work undertaken within his area. In addition, each Chief Land Surveyor is responsible for particular technical and administrative functions of the Branch as a whole.

7.30 The functional work of the Survey Branch is carried out by six main groups, namely, Control, Air Survey and Photogrammetric Unit, Mapping (including Site Surveys), Title, Training School and Cartography. reports on the work carried out during the year are as follows :-

### Control Surveys

7.31

#### Individual

This work-group is primarily responsible for the provision and maintenance of the precise horizontal and vertical survey system on which nearly all other surveys are based.

7.32

A continuing problem is the removal or obstruction of survey stations, which makes it extremely difficult to maintain the integrity of the survey system. The reasons for this problem range from the proliferation of T.V., Radar and other installations on hill-tops, which very often affect triangulation stations, to continual roadworks leading to the loss of large numbers of town survey marks.
