9. The collection of duties on liquors from all Distilleries in the New Territories was made effective from the 1st January, 1910, but previous to that date the following Distilleries contributed the sums shown below:-
Hop Fat.....at Chin Wan,. 5,796 Gallons = $869.40 Sun Hing Lung...at Un Long,... 6,776 Gallons = $1,039.60 Li Sang Yuen...... Kwong Lung Sing. Tin Hing... Kwong Lung Chan at Cheung Chow, 12,995 Gallons = $1,949.46 Hung Hing
Total collected in New Territories,......25,568 Gallons = $3,858.46
No difficulty prevails in this direction and they all comply with the Ordinance; a control on the out-turn of each distillery is effected by one European Officer who frequently visits them and by Chinese Searchers.
10. In conclusion I would remark that while safeguarding the Revenue by the observance of the Ordinance much leniency has had to be shown so as to allow one and all to fall in with the regulations but a gradual strict application of the law will now become necessary.
