Sir,
I am commanded by the Army Council to send you
the enclosed copy of correspondence in which the
Colonial Secretary at Hong Kong asks the local military
authorities for a statement of the Army expenditure in
respect of that colony in each year from 1864 to 1907.
While there is no objection to figures as to
current local expenditure being furnished to the
Colonial Government by the General Officer Commanding,
I am to observe that the practice is for any figures as
to the total annual expenditure in respect of a colonial
garrison to be furnished to the colonial government
through your Department, and it is considered that, in
order to prevent any possibility of confusion, this
procedure is even more desirable in regard to requests
of this nature for statements as to the expenditure in
past years.
Colonial Office.
Under Secretary of State,

In this case I am to inform you that such
figures as are available were furnished to you in War
Office letter 10/871(F.1.) dated 31st March 1908. As
stated in that letter, the Army Council will be in a
position...
