REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL
ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE TREASURER OF HONG KONG
FOR THE YEAR 1909.
1. The Revenue for the year 1909 amount
ed to $6,822,966.93, being $113,970.93 more
than the Estimate and $718,759.60 more than
the Revenue of 1908.
2. The Expenditure during the year,
exclusive of that on the Canton-Kowloon Rail-
way amounted to $6,542,839.32, being less than
the Estimate by $238,326.68 and less than the expenditure of 1908 by $30,502.09.
The excesses on the several Heads requir-
ing legislative sanction, amounting to
$321,769.88 have been duly provided for by Supplementary Appropriation Ordinance No:19
of 1910 and the excesses on sub-heads which
have been met out of savings on other sub-
heads of the same Votes have been duly sanc-
tioned by the Secretary of State.
3. The amount realized by the sale of
Hospital Hulk "Hygeia", $25,000, was at first
credited to Miscellaneous Receipts but has
since been transferred to the credit of Rx-
penditure Head Public Works Extraordinary. In reply to an enquiry I have recently been informed that the ground for the change was
that the first cost of this Vessel was charg-
ed to that Head. I an, however, unable to accept the explanation and consider that the original classification was correct.
