V-REVENUE.

The total revenue collected by the Assistant District Officer is shown in Table B, and corresponds with that collected last year very closely. The Special War Rate was cancelled from 1st July in the year and accounts for a decrease of about $3,700 in the sum collected as compared with 1918, in which year it was exacted for the whole year. The increase in the total of rates is due to the rapid development of Sham Shui Po.

Table C gives details of revenue collected in Licence Fees by the Police in 1918 and 1919.

Table D shows the revenue collected in 1918 and 1919 in the District by all Departments other than the District Office and includes the totals of Table C.

Table E shows comparatively the total revenue collected from the Southern District by all Departments during the last three years.

VI-LIQUOR.

Liquor duties were collected in the Southern District during 1919 amounting to $102,994.07. The total for 1918 was $162,601.57.

The chief sources of this Revenue are given in the following Table which shows comparatively the totals of the last two years:-

The decrease in production is due to the high price of molasses, resulting from shortage of shipping, and to the increased cost of rice. A considerable quantity of this liquor is sent in for Hong Kong consumption.
