§ Now I turn to the revenue side of the account. I will not use more figures than I can help; for the moment I simply point out that, while there was a diminution anticipated in 1905–6 as compared with the preceding year of £916,000, the actual result was to show an increase over the year before of £608,000, and an excess over the Estimate for 1905–6 of more than £1,500,000. The question arises how it is that the revenue has exceeded my predecessor s calculations by so large an amount.
