4. The total expenditure brought to account amounted to $23,524,716 being $265,899 less than the estimate, and $4,742,102 less than the expenditure in 1925.

His Excellency the Governor's Department expended $21,059 more than estimated, due to salary on leave being paid to Sir R. E. Stubbs during the early part of the year and to refurnishing and incidental expenses.

Post Office expenditure fell short of the estimate by $133,575 due to recovery of transit charges in respect of the previous year and non-payment of the Mail Subsidy.

Imports and Exports Department showed savings $213,361 chiefly brought about by the reduced business of the Opium Monopoly.
