70. During the year the Crown rents of 243 sections of lots and 3,609 relevant interests, and the annual instalments of premium of 20 sections of lots and 830 relevant interests were determined.
Incorporation of Owners of Multi-storey Buildings
71. Under the Multi-storey Buildings (Owners Incorporation) Ordinance, a management committee appointed at a meeting of the owners of a building may within fourteen days of such appointment apply to the Land Officer for the registration of the owners as a corporation. Upon incorporation the statutory management scheme provided for by the Ordinance applies to the building in question.
72. During the year 149 corporations were registered, making a total of 461 since 19th June 1970, when the Ordinance came into force. Of these, 219 (comprising 16,728 flats) were in respect of buildings in Hong Kong, and 242 (comprising 23,796 flats) in Kowloon and New Kowloon.
Street Index
73. The 28th Edition of the Index of Streets, House Numbers and Lots in Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Kowloon, familiarly known as the 'Street Index', was compiled by the Land Office in 1967 and published in May 1968. Unlike the previous editions, which consisted of bound volumes, the 28th Edition was published in loose-leaf form, thus affording a convenient means of making successive additions and alterations, particulars of which are contained in noters-up issued by the Land Office at six-monthly intervals. Two such noters-up, being Nos. 9 and 10 in the series, were published in July 1972 and January 1973 respectively.
Fees
74. Owing mainly to the new record number of instruments registered the total Land Office fees collected increased by more than $800,000 over the previous year's total to a new record figure of $3.32m. made up as follows:
