The 13 A Class Buoys in use during the year averaged 3,908 days rent at $8 per day, the 19 B Class Buoys averaged 5,228 days rent at $6 per day, and the 24 C Class Buoys averaged 9,029 days rent at $4 per day, Private Buoys $840, making a total revenue of $99,587.06 against $105,805.02 in 1922, showing a decrease of $6,217.96. This decrease is due to the fact, that the revenue from Buoys in 1922 was abnormally high, on account of the Chinese Seamen Strike, which lasted about 2 months, during which period all the Government Harbour Mooring Buoys were fully occupied, also to the number of Typhoons, which visited the Colony when vessels which were occupying Government Mooring Buoys had to take shelter, being unable to return to their berths until Typhoon Signals were lowered.
Several moorings had to be examined on account of the Typhoon of the 18th August.
