The revised estimates for 1965-66 show a net increase of $3,400,000 over the approved estimates as a result of an additional sum of $1,412,520 being paid in respect of Commercial Public Relations Overseas, $1,162,520 of which was due but not paid in previous years; of a special additional subvention of $350,000 to the Tourist Association to assist in meeting the cost of the A.S.T.A. Convention; and of $1,800,000 under Special Expenditure for revised financial commitments in respect of the Ocean Terminal project.
Under recurrent expenditure for 1966-67 the most significant increases are in respect of the Tourist Association which receives an additional $300,000 and the Federation of Hong Kong Industries and the Hong Kong Management Association. In these latter two subheads there has been a redistribution of provision resulting in a combined increase of $90,500 due to increased activities.

Provision under Other Charges Annually Recurrent has been increased mainly for the purchase of additional stores and equipment and because of higher contract rates for servicing office machinery and an increase in the number of machines to be serviced.
Under Special Expenditure provision has been made for two additional steel cabinets for addressograph plates, one accounting and two receipting machines to replace worn out machines, and for one station wagon to cope with the increased parking meter collections.
