Note.—More precise information having been obtained as to the receipts of Local Authorities for the year 1882-3, it was discovered that in previous years large sums received in respect of the sale of gas and water by Urban Sanitary Authorities had been returned as receipts from Public Rates. The figures for previous years have been corrected so far as it is possible, and now show, as nearly as the accounts will allow, the receipts from Public Rates.
