(3) In and since 1892, the cost of Gas and Electric Lighting for the City of Victoria and Kowloon has been charged to Annual Recurrent Works.
(4) Prior to 1890 it was usual to obtain special votes for the repair of storm damages during every Summer.
(5) The extension of the Water Works necessitated additional expenditure.
(6) The falling off in the expenditure on Extraordinary Public Works in 1893 is accounted for to some extent by the Officers' time being taken up in the preparation of Plans, &c., for Govern- ment Office Extension, Slaughter-House, Pig and Sheep Depôts, Government Stores, Kowloon Water Works, Water supply Aberdeen and Shaukiwan, Sewerage of the Eastern District of the City of Victoria, Gaol Extension, Naval and Military Reclamation, and the proposal to stop the Praya Rclamation Works.
In 1892 the offices of Surveyor General and Resident Engineer Water and Drainage Department were amalgamated under the title of Director of Public Works at the Salary previously attached to the office of Surveyor General alone. The present systems of Store Accounting and General Accounting were first introduced into the Department.
