THE GOVERNOR to THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
Government House,
Hong Kong,
27th April, 1906.
MY LORD,
I HAVE the honour to submit for your Lordship's information the following general report on the Annual Blue Book for the year 1905.
I.-FINANCES.
The revenue for the year, exclusive of Land Sales, amounted to $6,526,144.09, or $203,194.74 more than the previous year. Land Sales amounted to $392,259.76, or $93,838.88 less than in 1904. The total revenue from all sources was, therefore, $6,918,403.85, or $109,355.86 greater than in any previous year, and $280,207.15 less than the estimate. All the main sources of revenue show an excess over 1904, with the exception of "Miscellaneous Receipts," "Rent of Government Property," and "Land Sales."
"Post Office Receipts," "Interest," and "Water Account" brought in together $34,933.55 more than was estimated. The receipts under the remaining heads of revenue were altogether $315,140.70 less than were anticipated when the estimates were drawn up.
The expenditure for the year was $5,277,834.45 exclusive of "Public Works Extraordinary"; inclusive of that item it was $6,951,275.26, or $575,039.96 more than the total expenditure of 1904, and $223,916.74 less than the estimates for 1905.
Deducting from the actual receipts for 1905 the total actual expenditure, there was a deficit of $32,871.41 on the actual working of the year.
