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,

X77

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...
