the railway from Kristiania to Eidsvold and in the state railways,
and the cash in hand. This latter amounted to kr. 33,547,442,
while the value of all the other assets, at the expiration of the
financial year 1897—1898, was estimated at kr. 72,171,580. They
yielded during the same year a revenue of kr. 3,322,600.

Those means of communication from which the state derives
a portion of its revenue are railways, the post office, and
telegraphs.

The average income from the working of the state railways,
since the year 1888, has been as follows:

Financial years	Income kr.	Expenditure kr.	Net profits kr.
1880—1885, on an average ....	5,178,891	4,851,693	327,198
1885—1890,  »   »        » ....	6,590,516	5,995,878	594,638
1890—1895,  »   »        » ....	7,747,840	6,981,664	766,176
1895—1896 ...........	8,869,048	8,275,279	593,769
1896—1897 .........	9,688,335	9,081,281	607,054
1897—1898 ...........	10,976,114	10,278,803	697,311

It will be seen that the income, as well as the expenditure and
net profits, has been more than doubled during the last 18 years.

The receipts from the post office, which amounted to kr. 1,713,564
during 1880—1881, have since that time gradually risen to
kr. 4,233,738, the amount realised during I897—1898, that is to
say an increase of nearly 150 %. The receipts which were formerly
about balanced, gave a surplus of kr. 163,503 and kr. 241.711
during the years 1896—1897 and 1897—98 respectively.

The income from the telegraph service has gone up from kr.
932,846 in 1880—1881, to kr. 1,801,591 during 1897—1898, that
is to say an increase of about 100 %. Up to 1894—95 the working
expenses have exceeded the revenue; since that time the telegraph
service has yielded a surplus, which during 1897—1898 amounted
to kr. 232,036.

The ordinary expenditure during the financial year 1897—1898
is distributed among the following groups:

1.	The royal family, Storthing, government and civil administration ..........	kr.	2,670,452
2.	Collection of taxes ..........	»	2,426,776
		kr.	5,097,228
