# Statement of Revenue
For 1866 the item of Reimbursements in aid (viz. $18,527) exceeds that of 1863 ($10,017) by $8,310. But such reimbursements only balance corresponding items of expenditure, so that they might amount to several hundred thousand dollars without giving the Colony any increased funds. That item must therefore, for the purposes of Your Lordship's argument, be diminished by, in round numbers, $8,000.
20. There are other items of a special nature, such as profit on Coins from England ($5,877) and interest ($6,198), which, strictly speaking, ought perhaps to be struck out as unlikely to recur, and therefore only conveying to Your Grace an erroneous impression as to the Colony's future available resources. These latter two items amount to about $12,000, in round numbers.
21. A still heavier deduction nevertheless remains to be made if Your Grace wishes to ascertain the comparative available resources of the Colony out of the Ordinary Revenue in 1866 against 1863. A very large portion of the Revenue of each year consists of rates imposed annually under a local Ordinance to meet the special expenses of Police, Water Supply, and lighting. Strictly speaking, no part of these rates is available for other purposes, and the Governor always makes his estimates...
