The first item includes $1,090 for hired towage while S.D. 1 was under repairs, and the second item includes $547.50 for towage while S.D. 2 was under repair.
* No special expenditure during 1919.
This item was not charged to 'Barges Repairs' in 1918.
No Junk hire in previous years.
The total cost of the service for the year was $34,948.35.
Owing to the sinking of refuse barge S.D. 'D' off Kau I Chow in July it was decided to expedite the construction programme for 1921. A new barge S.D. 'G' was accordingly built at the cost of $14,000.00 and launched on 25th November.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
The total expenditure during 1920 was $440,357.30 as compared with $368,372.76 in 1919; the estimate for the year was $411,741.00.
The higher expenditure is largely due to a new scale of salaries which came into operation as from January 1st in the case of European, and from October 1st in the case of subordinate outdoor staff.
The total revenue was $302,854.54 as compared with $296,798.34 in 1919.
No new head of Revenue was opened during the year. Details of Slaughter House fees and market rents which are the main source of revenue will be found annexed to the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon's report.
Other details of the working of the Department will be found in the reports of the Medical Officer of Health and the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon.
