Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
■BRISBANE, August 18. The Financial Statement shows that the revenue for the year was £3,768,000, exceeding the estimate by £41,000. The expenditure was £3,748,000. The surplus of £20,000 would be handed to trustees for the reduction of the public debt. The value of wold won was two and a-half millions. Dealing with loan expenditure the Treasurer this year asks for £1,500,000 compared with £1,220,000 last year ; £22,000 will be devoted to assisted immigration. It having been found that America and Canada, owing to the cheapness of the passage, attract people, the Government have decided to make the cost of passage to Queensland the same as to those countries. The Treasurer estimates the revenue for next year at £3,882,000, and the expenditure at £3.860,000.
