61. Because of the overlapping which occurs when a work serves both a utilitarian and a sanitary service it is impossible to assess exactly the amounts which have been spent for purely medical and sanitary purposes. Including all water works and drainage works as sanitary works, the following (which include the salaries of the F.W.D. staff concerned) shows the commitments as laid down in the Estimates for 1933.
Expenditure by Medical Department $1,414,081.59 20 11 Sanitary Department 1,114,897.00 ?? Public Works Department 2,400,000.00 39 Police Department 2,600.00 Subsidies to Charities 182,510.00 1 Total:- $5,114,088.0062. Ratio of expenditure on Medical and Sanitary Services to total revenue = 5,114,088.00 = 15.48 per cent.
33,027,000.00
63. If the expenditure on Water Works be not taken into account the ratio is 11.81 per cent. As explained in paragraph 61 above these figures are approximate only.
