Estimated Expenditure

It can be best raised without exciting the suspicion or irritating the feelings and prejudices of the inhabitants, if we adhere as closely as possible to the present system and sources of taxation. If this is done, it is anticipated that there will be no difficulty in raising at the outset annual revenues sufficient to meet the cost of administering the new territory. The expenditure is estimated at $125,000. To arrive at this amount of taxation at the rate of 2/6 per head of the population will be sufficient.

The estimated expenditure contains a statement in Appendix 49. The expenditure which it is estimated will come to the cost of administering the new territory is $126,000. The details are as follows:

Category Estimated Expenditure
Police $33,223
Surveyors $14,400
Miscellaneous $24,657
Total $72,280

When the work of organizing the new territory's staff is completed, it is believed that it will be competent, or has been properly staffed, and that the land under cultivation will be managed as effectively as possible. Miscellaneous expenditure has been estimated at a high figure. Initial expenses are likely to be large when the territory is first taken over.
