EXPENDITURE.

4. The total expenditure brought to account amounted to $21,230,242 being $952,803 less than the estimates and $385,177 more than the expenditure in 1927.

The principal heads showing savings were as follows:-

SAVINGS.

Post Office $ 30,759 Imports and Exports Office 56,363 Harbour Department 151,489 Police Force 26,012 Prison Department 43,443 Medical Department 74,420 Sanitary Department 66,434 Education Department 125,473 Public Works Department 101,624 Public Works Recurrent 127,235 Public Works Extraordinary 358,648 Charge on account of Public Debt 32,696 Pensions 94,009

The savings in the Harbour Department are accounted for by lapsing salaries and deferring the purchase of new launches provided in the estimates, with a consequent saving in fuel, equipment, and stores.

A considerable reduction in the expenses of running the Opium Monopoly was the chief reason for the saving shown by the Imports and Exports Office.

Lapsing salaries and outstanding accounts for the carriage of mails, which will of course have to be met in 1929, resulted in the Post Office expenditure falling below the estimates.

In the Police Department over-expenditure on Passages, Rent of Stations and Secret Service was more than counter-balanced by savings in Special Expenditure.
