The average rate of exchange for 1926 was 2/14 as compared with 2/4 for 1925.
Item (ii).—The increase is mostly due to reinstatements after rainstorm damage caused by the exceptional storm which occurred on the 19th July, 1926, this alone accounts for an increase of $469,178 over the expenditure on the same item the previous year. The other increases are $967 and $435 on Drainage and Miscellaneous, Hong Kong; and $21,179, $760 and $2,861 on Communications, Lighting and Miscellaneous, Kowloon, respectively; and $251 on Drainage, New Territories.
That the actual aggregate increase is only $248,385.05 is due to decreases of $96,875, $33,236 and $26,583 on Buildings, Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories; $25,618 and $12,323 on Communications, Hong Kong and New Territories; $1,478 on Lighting, Hong Kong; $2,087 on Drainage, Kowloon; and $54,968 and $1,952 on Waterworks, Hong Kong, and New Territories.
