* These amounts are not entirely Annnał Crown Rents, as many of the permits are for very short periods. †This amount was largely counterbalanced by the surrender to the Government of land valued at $50,807.35.
The actual amount of premium paid into the Treasury during the year was $394,560.95, or considerably less than the estimate, which amounted to $500,000. It included the following sums which do not appear in the above tabulated statement :
Deferred payment of premium on M. L. 289, sold in Decem-
ber, 1904, plus interest,
Premia derived from sale of rights to erect piers, Fees for boundary stones to mark lots,
.$99,294.00 61,583.00 50.00
One lot was put up to auction, but the purchaser failed to pay the purchase money into the Treasury and his deposit of $100 was therefore forfeited to Government.
Lots in the New Territory sold by the Public Works Department numbered 8 and realized $15,788. In addition to this, the Assistant Land Officer at Tai Po sold 28 small lots which realized $584.70 and the Assistant Land Officer at Hongkong 2 small lots which realized $704.
