REMARKS.
A. LAND REVENUE.-The decrease on the Estimate for 1855 as compared with the Receipts for 1853 arises from arrears of former
years collected in 1853. B. RENTS EXCLUSIVE OF LANDS :--Ordinance No. 2 of 1854, will, when in operation, cause an increase of Rents from Markets.
The estimated decrease of from Buildings is £162.10.0.--No doubt premises producing £100 annually will be sold before the commencement of the year 1855, the Rent for the ground on which they stand will produce nearly if not 100 per Cent more per annum, than is now derived from the dilapidated Buildings thereon, the repairs of which would cost Government more than the Reat for one and more years. If sold they may also cause Land near it to come into demand, being almost the only Land available which possesses Sea frontage. C. LICENSES.The estimated increase is £473 08. 03d.
viz £381. 43. 74d. on Spirit Licenses, on account of the increased number of Chinese applicants for Licenses, in consequence of Ordinance No. 4 of 1853, by which the Licenses were made payable monthly in advance instead of yearly.

estimated decrease of £7 16s. 3d, on Auctioneer's Licenses, being one quarter's
amount received in 1853 above the usual number, and

£473 08. 0žd.
Salt Licenses which, being sold for one year, will, so long as the disturbances
on the River exist, produce less than in former years, since they depend chiefly if not almost entirely on the Export up the River.
D. TAXES:["Police Assessment."-The estimated increase will be £295 08. 114d. warranted by the increased number of Houses, [chiefly on ground held for some time but not built on till lately.] and by the higher Reats now obtained by the Householders.
E. FINES, FORFEITURES, AND FEES OF COURTS-The total estimated decrease under this head as compared with the Receipt in 1853
is
*
+
£926 58. 1d. viz €281 58. 104d. on Fines, the Receipts
£281 58, 101d. under this head having been greater in 1853 than during the previous 4 years, [average £368]
and altogether of a very uncertain nature. The sum of £300 has been estimated as the most probable amount for 1855.
5 68. 11. decrease under Forfeitures on account of the uncertainty of that source of Revenue.
639 128. 3d. is the estimated decrease on Fees, levied in the Courts of Justice. In 1853 they produced £989 128. 3d. whereas the average of the three previous years is only £557. and it being the 58. 1d. intention of the Colonial Government to reduce before the commencement of the next year
£926
the scale of Fees now levied in the Courts, the sum of £350 has been set down in the Estimate F. FEES OF OFFICES. The estimated decrease is £159 0s. 43d. on account of the uncertainty of the sources from whence derived. The
as likely to be received in 1855.
differences under the other heads are accidental. G. The differences are accidental.
