Lawrence Captive Airship (kite photography) flown by George Lawrence
Comment: An earthquake of probable
magnitude 7.5 M occurred in San Francisco
USA on 18 April 1906. Approximately 3,000
people were killed, and fires destroyed
approximately 80% of the urban area.

25. Mongolia
The Cadastral Survey and Land Registration Project
(project) was designed to establish the institutional
basis for land administration and for the development of
Mongolia’s property market.
Specifically, it envisaged to facilitate efficient issuanceSpecifically, it envisaged to facilitate efficient issuance
and administration of property and land-lease
certificates, which were expected to enhance collection
of land fee payments and property taxes for urban and
agricultural development and to operate a private
property market.
