at high cost.

met by latter.

Less travelling done by vaccinators due to early control in spread of
infectious diseases.
Normal saving.
Suppliers did not complete the orders fully within stipulated period. More electric lights and fans installed and increased vaccine production.
Fewer expenses incurred than anticipated,
Periodic visits to Kowloon Institute and other laboratories, Taking of water samples daily from long distances caused a great increase in travelling expenses.
Consumption of malariol slightly reduced,
Economy in current consumption.
Fewer expenses incurred than anticipated.
Purchase of equipment for malaria laboratory was deferred.
