THE FINANCES OF HONGKONG.

Mr. L. A. M. Johnston, the acting Colonial Treasurer, has now published the financial returns of Hongkong, for the past year, which reveal a position of affairs satisfactory to the Colony. The total revenue was, in round 5gures. $5,2.10,000 as compared with 4.900,000, collected to December 31s; of 1902, while the expenditure amounted to $5.400,000, against actual payments for the same period ofthe previous year of $5,900,000. This shows that, instead of a difference of a million dollars on the wrong side, the actual

by about only $150,000. This has been brought about by an increase in the re venue estimated for the year, which, by coming out at $4,583,295 odd, has realised $5.238,857,00 $305,562 more than estimated. The revenue derived from land sales is res ponsible for more than half of this sum, the amount put in the estimates being $350,000, whereas the actual receipts from this source have proved to be upwards of $510,000 Then, again, the receipts front licences and internal revenue exceeded the estimate by [35 no less than $187,835 Miscellaneous re- ceipts, however, were some $89,288 less than estimated, while the rents from Government property realised only 861 5,683, instead of the estimated amount of $656,350. Turning to the expenditure side we are struck with the large decrease. under the head of Miscella neous Services, as compared with the amount spent in the previous year, when the service absorbed. $658,000 of the total million of excess in the Colony's expenditure.

in connection with Public Works Recurrent have been reduced by about a half in com- parison with the amount expended in 1902, while under the head of Public Works Extra- ordinary we find that, instead of the estimated amount of $931,100 being expended the ac tual payment has figured out at $649,831.04, or $281,268.96 less than was expected. With the same returns the acting Colonial Treasurer has also printed a statement of expenditure, to 31st December last, in con- nection with the Praya Reclamation Fund, from which it is seen that in the seven sec- tions belonging to private marine lot holders the sum of $2,500,412.33 has been spent since 1890, out of the estimated cost of $2,539,950.58. On Government sections 4. 5. 6, and 7 there has been an expenditure of $395.419.02 from the estimated cost of 9411,966.07, and in connection with the

balance to be spent is $69.599.43, while on whole of the scheme we gather that the

sections and 2 $22.514.13 has been ex- ended in excess of the estimated cost. Detailed figures of the accounts, together with other interesting items relating to the Colony's finances, are printed in the Gazette.
