QUESTIONS AT YESTERDAY'S

SE COUNCIL

THE FORM OF FINANOTAL RETURNE

The Hon Mr. H. E. POLLOCK, KC, in mecordance with notice given, asked a series of questions to which the Govern ment replied..

Questions and the answers made to them by the COLONIAL SECRETARY BIO appended:

Q-In view of the fact that the Govern

ment have been able in 1999 to name Financial rury monthly, instead of at times with more than one month's Niceipts and payments up together, will they give the usual sofal receipts for January February and March, 1919, algo those of December, 1919 which have not been published, in order that some comparison can be e obtained with the 1000 figures i A-The figures are:-January, 1919 Reven $1,609,258,80; expenditure, #966,870.20.200

February, 1919:-Ravenue, #1,229,830.70; expenditure $733,871.83.

March, 1019: Revenue, $1,36,147-23; expenditure 81,966;103:59.

The figures for the three months were published together owing to the irregularity of the mail which brought the Crown Agents accounts for the three months within a very shors time of one another.

For December, 1819, the figures are:--- Haverre, $1,349,955.64 expenditure, $4,861,816.55.
