The additional posts of one Secretary Stenographer, one Stock Verifier and one Clerk have been provided for the increased volume of current work. Four new posts of Clerical Assistant are offset by a cor- responding reduction in the number of Clerks. A further post of Clerical Assistant is required for handling additional work in the Treasury Establishment section. The supernumerary post of Clerk is to provide a relief for one clerk on 2 years study leave.
Under Other Charges Annually Recurrent, the Maintenance of Office Machinery and Equip- ment vote has been increased to meet additional costs on addressograph machines due to increased work arising from the number of new assessments and from the institution of a revised procedure which will materially reduce the labour needed in preparing rate demand notes.
Under Special Expenditure, provision has been made for the replacement of addressograph and graphotype machines which have been in continuous use for many years and one calculating machine and two adding machines which are no longer serviceable. Funds have also been provided for the purchase of a motor vehicle for Car Parking meter collections and additional Steel Cabinets for addressograph plates.
