This was more than offset by the anvings of some four millione on expenditure, the revised estimate boing $28,481,000 against the original estimate of $32,556,102, but a considerable part of this saving was caused by the estimatos being framed on a la. 4d. dollar, whereas exchange had been in the neighbourhood of two shillings for the greater part of the year.
It was expected that it would have been necessary to draw on aurplus balances to the extent of $1,970,462 during the current year. but the figure hud. baen revised to $162,900, which would leave surplus balance at the end of this year of $12,095.789.
THE COMING YEAR Referring to the coming year, Mr. Smith said it was anticipated that on the basis of existing taxa- tíon the revence could hardly fail to be a million and a half dollars behind the 1935 reviand figures,
Mr. Smith further anted – that. the dollar date for the coming year would be taken at 1s. Bd., and, aflor
surplus allowing for balances, there would be a deficit of about $830,000. 11e remarked that if the dollar remains at its present level of about two shillings, there would be sußcient savings to turn the budretted deficit into a substantial surplus.
After stating that the Secretary of State had given authority to transfer to the general revenue in case of need a sum of $500,000 from the funds of the 1925 Trade Loan, Mr. Smith referred to steps which were contemplated If there should either be a serious drop in the dollar rate or a serious de- cline in revenue, or possibly both. No additional taxation was being imposed in the existing circum- stances, but he gave a warning that this might be necessary if the state of finnces should show serious deterioration.
SALARY LEVY?
Mr. Smith also uttered a warn- ing that a temporary lery on all Government salaries, both dollar and sterling, might be necessary
