Referring to Mr. May's Despatch

No. 157 of 12th. June, 1907, I have the honour to transmit

6

copies of the Report on the Post Office for the year

1907.

2.

The Report discloses increases

generally in the various branches of business transacted

by the Post Office. Revenue amounted to $445,420 and Ex-

-penditure to $366,452, a rise of $24,966 and $6,968

respectively, due in the one case to increased sales of

stamps at Hongkong and the Agencies and in the other to

the payment of salaries at 2 shillings and to increments

accrued.

3.

I append a statement showing the

Revenue,

Expenditure, Profit or Loss on working extracted

from previous Reports and Military Contribution for the

last decade: -

Year.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE EARL OF CREWE,
