Sir,
Government House,
Hongkong, 6th July, 1904.
With reference to your Despatch No. 162 enclosing a copy of a letter from the War Office on the subject of the Military Contribution payable by this Colony, I have the honour to inform you that the figures quoted in the letter referred to as the amount payable monthly appear to be based on a misapprehension. The amount provided in the Estimates for adjustment of the previous year's contribution has evidently been regarded as a part of the total for 1904.
The actual figures are as follows:-
20% on Estimated Revenue $170,041. Adjustment of previous year $50,895. Total $1,292,557.
The ordinary sum payable monthly during the current year is therefore $103,471 being one twelfth of the estimated amount viz:- $1,241,662.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Amay
Officer Administering the Government.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
ALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.,
