Item (ii). The increase under this head is principally due to increased expenditure under the following sub-heads: "Maintenance of Buildings" ($28,045.63), "Maintenance of Roads and Bridges" ($3,993.39), "Improvements to Roads and Bridges" ($2,825.43), "Maintenance of Telephones" ($2,995.43), "Maintenance of Sewers, Nullahs, &c.", ($3,696.65), "Gas Lighting" ($13,652.48), "Typhoon and Rainstorm Damages" ($14,787.34), "Maintenance of Water Works, City and Hill District", ($37,545.58) and "Water Account" ($5,005.19).

The insertion of a new item "Special Repairs to Filter Beds, Kowloon", accounted for an increase of $3,551.20. The only decreases worth recording were under "Maintenance of Lighthouses" ($2,861.44) and "Stores Depreciation" ($4,707.19).
Item (iii). The expenditure in 1917 included an item of $135,000.00 under the heading "Dredging Harbour" to enable the value of the Dredger "St. Enoch" to be written off the Store Books. No such item appears under this year's expenditure. The amount expended during 1918 under "Compensation and Resumptions" was $496,307.65, as compared with $464,016.04 in 1917, the principal item in 1918 being the resumption of K.M.L. 83 and K.I.L. 1178 at a cost of $383,807.90.
