N.B.—The difference between the amounts in columns 4 and 5, and also columns 8 and 9, is the amount lost by empty houses, excused, &c., but the
amounts given in any one year may vary from the exact figure of deficiency, as a portion of the rates levied in one year are collected in
another; but the total deficiency in the ten years will give a fair estimate of the loss. In the last 1½ years there is included in the gross
amount levied the allowance of 30 per cent, to landlords. The details will be found in the Accountant's Statement.
