Sir,

With reference to War Office letter 10/1349

12345 (F.1.) of 26th April 1910, I am comanded by the Army

Council to send the enclosed statements (A. and B.)

showing the cost of the garrison of Hong Kong in the

financial year 1909/10 and the military contribution in

respect of that period.

It will be seen that the cost to Imperial

funds was £417,492 in excess of the contribution paid by

the colony. The increased cost as compared with

1908/9 is due to the issue of 9.2 inch guns and mountings.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

suor

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
