Department and appended shows a balance of
Assets of $1,353,169.08, agreeing with the
balance shown in the note to the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities furnished by the Treas-
urer.
6. The Expenditure on the Kowloon-
Canton Railway during the year 1909 amounted
to $3,580,824.91 making the total Expenditure
on the Railway from its commencement $9,959,515.92. The difference between this
sum and the amount recorded in the Railway
Construction Books on 31st December 1909, viz:
$9,617,499.22, I am informed by the Local
Auditor, is due to the inclusion by the
Treasurer of certain items of Interest, Crown
Agents' transactions, and Transfers which ap- pear in the Railway account for January 1910.
7. There are a few questions of minor importance on the Account for 1909 awaiting
settlement.
