41. Provision for 50 new 30-ton covered goods wagons was made, but as the actual cost was less than the estimate, and also as it was decided to use 10 of these underframes for rail bogies which did not require bodywork, the expenditure under this head was $54,064.14 less than the sum included in the Estimates.
42. The steelwork required for the Extension to Workshops did not arrive in time to enable the work to be completed and $30,172.72 of the vote of $60,000 was unexpended.
Sidings for ashes, Loco Yard, and the extension to sidings at Loco Yard, and also the erection of sidespans to Bridge 4 were not completed at the end of the year, and on this account, sums amounting to $20,806.23 were not required.
43. Indents for additional machines for Carpenters' Shop, Spares for Locomotives, new water tank and tower at Kowloon Station were sent home, but as the material did not arrive in the Colony before the end of the year, a sum of $14,866.88 lapsed and also $5,965.00 which was provided for the purchase of Turnstiles at Kowloon Station.
44. After deducting a sum of $2,437.70 being proceeds by sale of condemned stores and machinery, the amount expended was $819,675.34, and the details are shown in the table of Special Expenditure herein.
45. The Revenue Statements of Earnings and Expenditures take the usual form.
The actual expenditure amounted to $507,814.42, against an estimate of $575,158.00, which shows a saving of $67,343.58.
46. The Expenditure under Other Charges, Main Line, amounted to $242,054.39, or $42,727.61 less than the amount provided in the Estimates. On account of less mileage than estimated, a saving of $12,872.64 appears under subhead Coal, and similarly under Oil Fuel for Motor Coaches $9,223.23, and Running Stores $1,604.32. The total savings under Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Expenses being $38,371.93.
47. Under Maintenance of Ways and Works and Stations, there are small savings under most of the subheads, but as the amount provided for Repairs of Staff Quarters and Station Buildings was inadequate, the expenditure exceeded the Estimate by $1,869.53.
48. In the Traffic Department, savings under subheads Rent of Shum Chun Station, Hire of Rolling Stock, and Clothing, amounted to $4,201.77 and other sums brought the total savings to $5,062.41.
