23. The total receipts of the Imports and Exports Reward Fund, which are derived from the sale of confiscated articles, fines and forfeitures amounted to $75,629.89. The payment of rewards to informers was $51,480.06, the balance $34,149.83 being carried forward to 1929 Account. The receipts were considerably augmented by the sale of a large quantity of confiscated drugs through the Crown Agents, otherwise the payments would have exceeded the receipts from other sources by approximately $13,000.
