Comparison of Expenditure, 1918 and 1919.

Expenditure.

2. The following is a statement of the expenditure in 1919 as compared with that of the previous year :-

1918 1919 Increase Decrease $ $ $ $ (i) Personal Emoluments and Other Charges, 374,906.32 390,006.29 15,099.97 (A) Special Expenditure: Typewriters, etc., 296.30 1,876.35 1,080.05 (ii) Annually Recurrent Works, 712,675.37 822,509.87 109,834.50 (iii) Extraordinary Works, 1,578,149.12 2,235,002.95 656,853.83 Total, 2,666,027.11 3,448,895.46 782,868.35

Item (i). The increase is due to the return, during the course of the year, of certain Officers who have been on Active Service and to the grants of special Bonuses to Officers who have been called upon to perform extra duties. The average rate of exchange for 1919 was 3/9 as compared with 3/2¾ during 1918.

Item (ii).—The increase under this head is principally due to increased expenditure under the following sub-heads:- "Maintenance of Buildings" ($6,007.96), "Improvements to Buildings" ($16,385.45), "Maintenance of Lighthouses" ($3,459.65), "Maintenance of Roads and Bridges" ($16,019.63), "Improvements to Roads and Bridges" ($27,105.49), "Maintenance of Telephones" ($593.53), "Maintenance of Praya Walls and Piers" ($3,670.00), "Maintenance of Recreation Grounds" ($967.35), "Dredging Foreshores" ($2,657.95), "Maintenance of Water Works" ($40,925.22), and "Water Account" ($4,347.03).

The only decreases worth recording were under "Maintenance of Sewers" ($1,862.95), "Lighting" ($2,338.53), "Maintenance of Cemeteries" ($2,069.51), and "Typhoon and Rainstorm Damages" ($5,440.67).

Item (iii). The increase is due almost entirely to the great amount of work executed notably in connection with the construction of new roads and improvement of existing roads. The gross amount expended under "Compensation and Resumptions" was $539,523.56, as compared with $496,307.65 in 1918, an increase of $43,215.91. The principal item was the resumption of “Beaconsfield Arcade" at a cost of $275,000.00.
