Item (iii). The decrease is due to economies effected, owing to the unusual local conditions which, as in 1925, prevailed during 1926, and consequently works, for which substantial sums had been provided, were not proceeded with during the year.
The decreases, which were effected on the majority of the Votes, amount to $4,038,895, while the increases, occurring on a few Votes, amount to $119,965 giving an aggregate decrease of $3,918,930.68.
