The revenue collected by the Department during the year totalled $511.178M compared with $500.331M in the previous year. A comparison between the amounts collected in each of the two years on the main items of revenue is shown in the following table :-

Percentage 1973-74 1974-75 Variation $M $M Crown Land Sales 242.711 242.121 - 0.24 Crown Land Fees 4.535 6.959 +53.45 Government Properties 5.738 7.739 +34.87 Water Account 168.965 165.424 2.09 Quarry Products 11.128 10.658 4.22 Buildings Ordinance (Balcony fees and Building Contractors' Registration fees, etc.) 1.248 0.973 -22.04 Sale of Sand 20.889 28.105 +34.54 Works executed on private account Departmental services and supervision Departmental services to the Urban Council and the Housing Authority Other receipts 9.279 2.125 15.072 18.641 13.796 3.444 13.959 18.000 +48.68 +62.07 - 7.38 3.44 500.331 511.178

During the year under review, there was no significant increase in revenue as a whole. Revenue derived from land sales maintained the level of the previous year, however, in comparison with the original estimate in relation to the urban area, there was a decrease of $82.88M due to a drop in land values and less plots being made available for sale during the year. As regards 'Chargeable Water', there was a slight decrease in comparison with 1973-74 due to a decrease in consumption in certain industries as a result of the world wide economic recession and the restrictions on water supply in September and October 1974. A significant increase was recorded under 'Sale of Sand' due to an increase in the selling price of sand.
