WEIHAIWEI
733
No customs duties of any kind are collected at Weihaiwei. By agreement, the Chinese Government is permitted to make use of the Bay of Weihaiwei for its fleet, so far as is compatible with British interests. Weihaiwei was originally strongly fortified by the Chinese. Twelve large forts in all were planned and erected for the Chinese Government by Mr. von Hanneken. Eight of these forts and all the guns were completely destroyed in the China-Japan war of 1895.
The revenue collected during the year 1907 amounted to $80,331, while the expen- diture amounted to 8173,340. The grant in aid for 1908 was £10,000.
