IV.-REVENUE.

The revenue collected in this office is set out under the appropriate heads in Table C. to which should be added the following amounts collected in the district by other departments:

Crown Rent paid in Land Office $2,844.00

Mining Licences fees paid in Treasury... 1,000.00

Harbour Dues, Sai Kung Total No. 1 Launch 2,163.75 $16,495.60 No. 2 5,620.75 No. 4 2,489.65 2,377.45

Liquor and Tobacco duties collected by Imports and Exports Department are not included.

V.-GENERAL.

Rainfall.-Table F shows the figure of rainfall in Taipo. The average of rainfall for the 5 years from 1925-1929 was 77.90 inches and the figure for 1930 was 97.88 inches as against 56.60 in 1929 the year of prolonged drought. The total rainfall for the years

1925 was 88.65 inches 1926 87.73 " 1927 94.78 1928 61.83 1929 56.60 1930 97.88 "

It is to be noted that in 1930, we had the highest figure of rainfall during the past 6 years.

This may account for the two excellent rice crops in the New Territories during the year.

The Shap Pat Heung and Un Long Valleys depend mostly on rain water as the source of the streams is right back in Tai Tong or Tai Po Tsai, amongst the foot hills of the Tai Mo Shan "massif".

It is proposed to make the experiment of erecting wind mill pumps to pump water to the higher levels in the Territory during 1931.
