The next item concerns the Liquor
Revenue which as you are aware is derived from an import duty.
In the Straits Settlements this import duty is collected by
the Government Monopolies Department which also collects the
Opium Revenue. The whole expenditure of tuis Department is
allowed to be deducted from the Revenue and it is upon the
net profit only that Military Contribution is assessed. I
