The nett increase due to creation of new poets as shown
in the statement is $72,640. of this amount $21,528 is for pay
of the Staff in connection with the departmental disposal of re-
fuse, and bullock traction of dust-carts, vide No12, page 62
of the Estimates. From this note it will be seen that this sum
together with increases under Other Charges, is nearly counter-
balanced by a saving of $35,442 on the "Scavenging" and "New Year
Cleansing" votes, leaving a nett increase of $2,488 for 1911.
Apportion half of this amount to Personal Emoluments (the other
half being apportioned to Other Charges), and the amount p21,528
is roduced to $20,284. $20,284, then, is the amount that can be
exactly covered by the saving above montioned, and it should be
deducted from the increase due to creation of new poets; 1.0.
$72,640 less $20,284 = $52,356.
If from this sum are deducted $297 for a 6th Grudo
Shroff, Stamp office; $220 for a temporary Assistant Surveyor, Harbour Master's Department; $4,114 for an Assistant Engineer, and $840 for 2 Temporary Foromen, P.W.D. (which are all purely ten- porary appointments), the nett permanent incrouse will be only $46,886, which is made up of appointmente that are, as shown in
the "Remarks" column in the Statement, absolutely necessary.
