4. REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
Table IV contains a statement of Postal Revenue and Expenditure for the year.
The total revenue from the Postal Service in 1921 amounted to $644,157.54, an increase on the previous year of $118,035.46. The Expenditure for 1921 amounted to $261,077.84.
The balance of revenue over expenditure amounted to $383,079.70.
Table V shows the postage stamps, etc., of each denomination issued for sale during the years 1920 and 1921.
Table VI shows the revenue and expenditure of the Post Office (exclusive of the Telegraph Sub-Department) for the ten years 1912 to 1921.
Table VII gives the revenue from the sale of postage stamps for the years 1919, 1920 and 1921. The increase of revenue from this source in the year 1921 over that of 1920 amounted to $69,550.03.
5. MONEY ORDERS.
The reaction in exchange, continued in 1921 with the dollar fluctuating between 38/1d. at the beginning of the year, to 28/7d towards the end of the year, has proved very disastrous to the despatch of remittances through the Post Office by members of H.M. Forces in China which alone account for a diminution of £19,185. The recovery of the exchange value of the Canadian and American Currencies tended to the discontinuance of the Money Order Service by the Public so largely patronised in 1920 and has shrunk the remittances to Hongkong by £50,000. Almost throughout the list of countries mentioned in the Table VIII there are decreases in business, resulting in a net decrease of £104,379.4s. 7d. in the year's transactions.
The Telegraphic Money Orders were outward, 88 orders amounting to £1,250.13s. 6d. against 91 orders for £1,654.0s. 0d.
