Under Other Charges Annually Recurrent the overall increase amounts to $168,700 which is mainly attributed to the increases under the subheads of Welfare Services. The former composite subhead of Welfare Services has been broken down into eight separate expenditure subheads thus providing a more de- tailed picture of the expenses to be incurred on the appropriate fields of welfare activities. The only item under Special Expenditure is that of 'Motor Vehicles' in the sum of $27,800. This amount is provided for the replacement of 3 departmental vehicles by 2 vans and one mini-car.
