Water Works Revenue.
4. Comparison of Water Works Revenue, 1913 and 1911—The following is a comparative statement of the revenue derived from Water Works during the years 1913 and 1914 :
City (as above stated),
Hill District....
Pokfulam District,
Kowloon (as above stated).
Aberdeen,
Shaukiwan,
Laichikok,
Total.
The figures for excess consumption have been supplied by the Treasury and represent the actual amounts collected and placed to Revenue.
The great difference in the revenue for the two years is partly explained by the fact that the receipts in the case of the City, during 1913, were low, partly owing to shortage of water, the services to wharves along the City front being disconnected from the 29th November 1912 until the 23rd April on this account.
The revenue in the case of the City was $20,000 less in 1913 than in 1912.
