36-1
ESTIMATE of APPROXIMATE COST of MAINTENANCE of MILITARY FORCES recommended by the COMMISSION, and prepared on basis of Estimate of 1881. This estimate, whilst furnishing a guide to such cost, would probably require minor amendments when brought under the consideration of the Government for embodiment with Estimates- in-chief.
Amount.
365
In order to exhibit the expenditure of the Colony for the decade commencing from 1876 and ending 1885 the following return has been prepared, which proves the expendi- ture within that time to be nearly 1,500,000/. It will be noticed that in the year 1885 the expenditure had attained the abnormal height of 307,3377. This, of course, was owing to the expenses attendant upon sending off the contingent of New South Wales troops to the Soudan.

For the year 1886, and the current year to the 30th April, the amounts expended
are :-
L
Expenditure, 1886
155,697
Expenditure, 1887
31,817
Requisitions in hand and being dealt with (estimated)
68,991
256,505
And there must be added to this the expenditure on the maintenance of the troops during the years 1886 and 1887, which will exceed 200,000l.
It will thus be seen that the Colony of New South Wales within the last 12 years has spent nearly 2,000,0007. in providing an efficient and thorough system of land defence. 3 E 4
