The total income of the Univer- zity for the year was $599,387:70 And the total expenditure 8539,706.31, leaving "a deficit of $3,318.01. This deficit, however, is more than accounted for by the prosaic fact that the electrical system of the University had to be reconditioned during the past
The outlay in twelve months. vorved amounted approximately to $20,000. The electrical supply aya-| tem of the University ras been completely re-organised during the year. The various houses and build- inge on the estate have been re- wired and the supply of electric current for light and power. zer- vices has been turned over to the Hong Kong Electric Company.
