to meet expenditure to the end of 1931.

$27,000.
$ 20,000.00
Stationery requirements under this head were
underestimated and in addition the fall in exchange
has considerably increased the expenditure in dollars.
The original indent for stationery was greatly
reduced causing delay in despatch and consequently
delay in the receipt of the goods. In the meantime
heavy local purchases had to be made. A quarter's
supply to carry over to 1932 is in hand.
A further vote for $20,000 is necessary to cover
expenditure to the end of 1931.
A corresponding saving under sub-head 47 Stationery,
Prison Department will be effected.
(C.S.0. 27 in 173/31).
Items the cost of which can be met wholly or in part by Savings from other sub-heads of the head are marked with an asterisk (Ø). The source and extent of the Savings will be found in the explanation of the individual items.
