for buoy fees and port and light dues were higher than anticipated due to an increase in the number of vessels using harbour mooring buoys and in the number and tonnage of ocean-going vessels using the port and because more passengers than expected travelled between Hong Kong and Macau leading to a substantial increase in passenger fees; 'New Territories Administration' ($1,754,159 as against a ‘nil' estimate) because as a result of the active land market and an increase in building more income than estimated was collected for administrative and legal-land services and deeds registration fees; 'Public Works Department: Engineering Development' ($10,506,121 as against a ‘nil' estimate) mainly due to increased demand for quarry products and sand and because more private works than anticipated were undertaken during the year; 'Public Works Department: Lands and Survey' ($804,368 as against a 'nil' estimate) mainly because due to the up-trend in the property market more proposed modifications, exchanges and regrant terms were accepted by property owners and more premium and administrative fees than estimated were collected, coupled with the granting of two new wayleaves relating to the second Lion Rock Tunnel and the St. George's Building, Hong Kong which led to an increase in wayleave fees; 'Registrar General's Department' ($3,914,756 or 40.7%) mainly due to the receipt of one exceptionally large capital fee in July 1976 and because collections in respect of fees on share premia were greater than originally anticipated; 'Transport Department' ($1,149,067 as against a 'nil' estimate) because more vehicles than anticipated used the Lion Rock Tunnel leading to a corresponding increase in toll collections.
