18.—REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
Appendix Q shows under the various heads the revenue collected by the Department during 1927 and also the revenue paid into the Treasury in respect of the Department's contracts. As regards the former, markets and special food licences show a small increase while slaughter house fees have recovered considerably. Though still below the figures for 1924, the last pre-strike year, they approximate closely to those of 1923 and exceed those of 1922. An increase in receipts for scavenging is due to payments by the Military Authorities for the removal of refuse from Military premises. Revenue from Contracts again shows a decrease on account of the reductions allowed to the Conservancy Contractors.
Appendix R shows under various heads the Department's expenditure for the year 1927. The increase in the total expenditure is mainly due to an increase of about $16,000 under Running Expenses of Motor Refuse Lorries &c. although this is partly offset by a reduction of $5,350 in Purchase and Maintenance of Bullocks. The total mileage covered by the Refuse Lorries during the year was 122,496 miles in Hong Kong and 30,951 in Kowloon. This represents a 70% increase over the figures for 1926 for Hong Kong, due to the closing down of the Central Refuse Depot opposite the new Fire Brigade Station and to the extra work given to the lorries through the enlarging of the Sections covered by them. The opening of a Central Garage for the lorries and the laying down of a stock of spare parts also accounts for part of the increased expenditure. The increased work carried out in the Slaughter Houses accounts for an increase in the expenses of the Animal Depot and Slaughter Houses under various heads.
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.
