$14,333:40. In 1869, and in 1870 it fell to $11,354:14, which, with the exception of quite a trifle, goes to the Imperial Post Office, as all the mails sent to and received from Yokohama are conveyed by subsidized packets.

The Imperial Post Office contributes £500 a year towards the maintenance of the Post Office at Yokohama, vide paragraph 144 of joint report by Mr. Kea and myself dated ..., which was confirmed by Mr. Fr. Hill's letter ... (GR11793/67) to Sir F. Rogers, inclosed in the Duke of Buckingham's despatch to Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell No. 164 of the 26th December 1868.

Whilst the cost of the Establishment to the Colonial Government, including interest at 12 per cent per annum on the new outlay in creating Post Office building, is rather more than $500 additional, making its cost exclusive of subsidy say $5000 a year, against a revenue loss of $14,354:14 a year.
