39. In 1920 it was decided that the Railway should discontinue its custom of debiting other departments for the transport of Government passengers travelling on duty and other services rendered, and accordingly the following sums are not included in the Railway Earnings.
40. Passengers travelling on the Main Line $5,394.45 and Fanling Branch $310.15. Goods carried over Main Line $476.44 and Fanling Branch $350.
41. The Local Goods Traffic Earnings are slightly lower than the previous year, and the increase in Sundry Traffic both Local and Foreign is due to the Catering Contract fees for 1922 being higher than in 1921.
42. Through and Joint Sectional Traffic Receipts amounted to $500,814.90 or $92,053.19 more than 1921. The Seamen's Strike mentioned in a previous paragraph in this report is largely responsible for this increase as, during the period of the Strike, the traffic on the Railway was exceptionally heavy.
43. The Fanling Branch Line Receipts have improved under both heads.
44. The Gross Receipts for the year were $710,295.75 as against $603,980.77 for 1921, an increase of $106,314.98. The balance after paying working expenses stands at $148,151.40.
