HIS EXCELLENCY Auid:-Gentlemen,- Before dealing with the Estimates for next year which have just been laid on the table, I propose to give you a brief stomary of the present financial posi tion of the Colony and of the position we anticipate as a result of this year's working.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION..

You will remember that when the Estimates for 1919 were presented to you last Aptom i was expected that the balane of Assets over Liabilitim on 31st Decembez 1911, would amount to $1.452,379. This estimate was more than realised, the sum actually brought to account being 81,526,979. According to | the revised figure for 1912 ordinary and extraordinary revenue is expected, owing to increases in rates, stamp duties and tand sales. to yield $8,049,153 or 2371,685 more than was estimated Moreover, paying of 2316,98 príncipally on account of exchange is anticipated on the total Expenditure which was originally esti mated at $7,952,078. These estigates if; realised will result in a surplus on at Dezember, 1912, of 2519,893 and this sum added to the balance of Assets accrued om

KSTIMATES OF REVENCE, 1919.

The Estimates of Revenue for the com- ing year show a net increase of 9174,372 over these approard for the current year. The principal increases occur in the items Assessed Taxes $129,000, Stamp Duties $1800 and Land Sales 150,000 and the #hief decreases in Opium Contribu- tion 81:2009, Kowloon-Canton Railway $120,000 and Liquor Duties $25,000. Explanations of the increases will be found in the footnotes. As regards the Opium Contribution, you will remember that His Majesty's Government made a grant to this Colony towards the loss of revanne caused by the restriction of the trade in opium of £9,000 in respect of the year 1910-11 and two further grants of £12,000 ta respect of the years 1911-12 nul 1912-1. The contribution as you know, was limited to 3 years, and I think You will agree that His Majesty's Gov-
