Provision previously included under this Head for the Transport Office was transferred to the new head of expenditure created for the Transport Department in December, 1968. This resulted in a de- crease of $278,100 in the revised estimates under Other Charges Annually Recurrent for 1968-69.
The overall increase under Other Charges Annually Recurrent for 1969-70 is due to hire charges for equipment transferred from the Census and Statistics Department and to the purchase or hire of additional equipment for the Central Computer Bureau. The reduction in "Fuel, light and power" and certain other subheads is due to the transfer of provision to the new Head for the Transport Department.
Under Special Expenditure $14,600 is provided for the acquisition of office equipment. Other items consist of revotes of $27,500 for replacement of motor vehicles and $10,000 for author's fee for the publication "A History of Hong Kong".

Under Other Charges Annually Recurrent increased provisions have been made for cleaning of offices; fuel, light and power; and rent, in anticipation of the acquisition of additional office accommoda- tion during the 1969-70 financial year. Minor increases under other subheads (e.g. advertising, incidental expenses, subsistence allowances, etc.) have been included to allow for the increased expenditure due to the expansion of departmental activities in various fields.
