Hong Kong Annual Administration Reports, 1841-1941
COLONIAL REPORTS-ANNUAL.
I-FINANCES.
The revenue for the year, exclusive of land sales, amounted to $6,442,529 or $179,540 less than the previous year. Land sales amounted to $159,750, or $155,982 less than in 1906. The total revenue from all sources was therefore $6,602,280, or $432,731 less than in the previous year. All the main sources of revenue show an excess over 1906 with the exception of licences, rent of Government property, interest, and land sales.
Light dues, licences, fees of Court, Post Office receipts, and rent of Government property brought in together $300,504 more than was estimated. The receipts under the remaining heads of revenue were, all together, $146,249 less than were anticipated when the estimates were drawn up.
The expenditure for the year was $5,028,553, exclusive of public works extraordinary; inclusive of that item it was $5,757,203, or $1,075,407 less than the total expenditure of 1906.
Deducting from the actual receipts for 1907 the total actual expenditure, there was a surplus of $845,076 on the actual working of the year.
