COLONIAL FINANCE.
The Colony's financial statements for the first half of the current year appear in to day's issue of the Government Gazette. · To the 30th June last the Colony incurred a total expenditure of over $2,500,000 $5 against $3,300,000 for the same period last year. Of the actual amount-expended about $3,450,000, is chargeable to ordinary recur- rent expenditure and the balance of $380,000 was spent in Public Works Extraordinary, as against 8 lacs last year for the same service. The total increase in departmental expenditure, including the excess item of $47,801 for publicworks recurrent is $70,810, against a saving of 189,000, contributed principally by a less expenditure of 8,400 oo pensions; $17,500 from the Post Office' vote; 410,000 in favour of the Legal Depart menis, and ́a reduced "military contribution". by $33,000. Adding a net saving of $470.368 on extraordinary public works, the Treasury's disbursements for the six months of 1907 show a reduced expenditure of $490,000 in round figures as compared with the corresponding period of 1906. This year's Estimates make a provision of 26,431,740 for the public service, and the amount ex *pended for the half period is $1,830,981, or some four facs of dollars less than the estimated available figure.
