A. LAND REVENUE:-Decreased in 1849, £1189, 9s. 9¼d., viz :-£1212, 10s. 6d. on LEASE LANDS, on which the amount due in 1848 was £11,306, whereas the collections for the same year amounted to £12,212, 10s. 6¼d., the excess of the Receipt over the amount due being Arrears of former years; a further resumption of Lots reduced the Annual Rental to £11,000, the sum now estimated. small decrease of £17, 11s. d. is anticipated under "LANDS NOT LEASED," being from villages, &c.; and an increase of £40, 12s. 6d. is expected on FEES receivable on grant of Leases, in consequence of their extension from 75 to 999 years.
B. RENT EXCLUSIVE OF LAND-Increase in 1850 over 1848, £186, 2s. 10d., viz :-£56, 5s. Od. on MARKETS, being the difference of the amount due and collected in 1848, and £78, 17s. 10d. on RENT FROM GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS,-one of which was occupied for 6 months only in 1848, and the anticipated Rent from a Bungalow on a Lot resumed by Government.
C. AUCTION DUTY, has been abolished from 1st March, 1849.
D. LICENSES:-The anticipated increase in 1850 is £824, 2s. 0¼d., viz :—£1073, 8s. 4d, on SPIRIT and PAWNBROKER LICENSES, which in 1848 produced £709, s. 4d. only, arising from the greater number of these Licenses being granted in 1848 for one month only, and the difference having been received in 1849. The increase on AUCTIONEERS' LICENSES will be £208, 11s. 9d., the Fee payable on each of them having at the time of the abolition of the Auction Duty been raised from £10, 8s. 4d. to £31, 5s. per annum. The expected decrease on SALT BROKERAGE is £295, 16s. 8d., and on STONE QUARRYING £179, 3s. 4d.: the nature of the first, and the decline of Public and Private Works, would not warrant a higher estimate. The estimated decrease on OPIUM and BILLIARD LICENSES...
...The increase on SERANG LICENSES is £25, 17s. 4d. £10, 6s. 4¼d., and merely accidental.
E. TAXES:-The estimated increase on the POLICE ASSESSMENT for 1850 is £224, 1s. 7¼d. over the Receipt in 1848, being on account of the occupation of a greater number of Houses and the extension of the Tax over the whole Island. On the year ended 30th June 1849, the Tax amounted to £2816, 2s. 1d.
F. On FINES, FORFEITURES, and FEES OF COURT, the decrease anticipated in 1850 is £72, 18s. 10d.
G. The probable decrease on FEES OF OFFICES in 1850 is £185, 6s. 4d., of which £91, 15s. 6d. is on MARRIAGES and BURIALS on account of the Arrears recovered in 1848, and £61, 17s, 6d, on REGISTRATION of BOATS and HAWKERS, the number of which has declined in 1849.
II. On the SALE OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, a decrease of £67, 1s. 9d, is on the Estimate for 1850, a number of Houses on resumed lots having been sold in 1848, which is not likely to occur in 1850 to the same extent.
I. On REIMBURSEMENTS in Aid of Expenses incurred by Government, the decrease in 1850 is likely to be £49, 8s. Od. The reduction of the POLICE FORCE alone will cause £74, 19s. 5d. decrease on the Sick Stoppages.
J. MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS -No sums have been received at the Treasury for PORT REGULATIONS and CHARTS since 1845.
K. The probable decrease on SPECIAL RECEIPTS is £389, 17s. 2d., of which £334, 4s. 7¼d. is on account of CLOTHING STOPPAGES from the Police Force which have been discontinued since 1st January 1849, when an alteration in the Pay of the Police was made. reduction of the EUROPEAN POLICE FORCE will cause a decrease of £18, 19s. 9d. on Superannuation Contribution paid by them.
