In Estimates. Supplemen-tary Votes. Total. Actual Expenditure. (i) Personal Emoluments and Other Charges, $324,468.00 $324,468.00 $292,018.36 (ii) Annually Recurrent Works, $313,910.00 $10,558.00 $324,468.00 $313,910.00 (iii) Extraordinary Works, $433,000.00 $38,810.00 $471,810.00 $409,902.85 Total, $1,071,378.00 $49,368.00 $1,120,746.00 $1,015,831.21 S. $1,789,510.00 $125,197.40 $1,914,707.40 $1,916,419.49

Detailed statements of (ii) and (iii) are given in Annexes A and B.

With regard to (i), the saving is due to vacancies in the Staff, lapsing pay of officers on leave and refunds on account of supervision of work executed by the Department for various public companies.

In the case of (ii), the following were the sub-heads under which the principal savings occurred :-

Maintenance of Buildings in New Territories, $2,476.96 Maintenance of Sewers, Nullahs, &c., $1,783.44 Maintenance of Public Cemetery, $2,885.28 Dredging Foreshores, $4,255.35 Miscellaneous Services, $3,278.24 Maintenance of City and Hill District Waterworks, $13,975.34 Water Account (Meters, &c.), $11,331.92

The saving on Dredging Foreshores was due to less dredging being done than usual owing to frequent typhoon scares and necessary repairs to the dredger; that on Miscellaneous Services to the withdrawal of many charges such as had previously been defrayed from this vote; that on Maintenance of City and Hill District Waterworks to less pumping being done than was provided for; and that on Water Account to its not being found possible to greatly extend the meter system owing to the available staff being engaged on the supervision of the rider main system which was in operation for nearly 9 months.

Excesses occurred in two sub-heads only, namely:

Typhoon and Rainstorm Damages, $21,700.25 Maintenance of Kowloon Waterworks, $1,585.34
