# Heads 60-63-Public Works-Non-recurrent

2.15. The Public Works Programme is accounted for under three main heads of non-recurrent expenditure, namely 'Buildings', 'Civil Engineering' and 'Waterworks'. A further non-recurrent head 'Headquarters' accommodates miscellaneous items of capital expenditure such as 'Compensation for surrenders and resumptions' which are outside the Public Works Programme. The total expenditure for the year under these four Heads was $292,445,000, i.e. $73,064,000 or 20% less than that estimated and 19% less than actual expenditure in the previous year, the reasons for this decrease being given in paragraph 1.07. A 'Statistical Summary of Non-Recurrent Expenditure' at Appendix G sets out, under each non-recurrent head, the actual expenditure against the approved provision for the year.
