# EXPENDITURE
9. The Expenditure Accounts of the Colony have been examined in accordance with the general procedure. Two hundred and eighteen (218) queries were raised in the course of the examination of the general expenditure accounts included in which are one hundred and five (105) queries on the Store Accounts, all of which have been satisfactorily settled.
The total expenditure for the financial year 1929 amounted to $21,983,256.67 being an apparent decrease of $2,816,393.33 on the total estimated expenditure, and an increase of $753,014.43 as compared with the total actual expenditure for the previous financial year.
## SUPPLEMENTARY VOTES
10. During the financial year it was found necessary to obtain supplementary votes amounting to $1,729,664.00. Further sums amounting to $17,551.00 were voted in 1930 to supplement the 1929 Estimates. The total amount provisionally voted being $1,747,215.00. In comparing these totals with the Appropriation Account for 1929 it will be observed that, under Head 31-Public Works Extraordinary-Supplementary Voted, Miscellaneous-Pipe Line from Tytam to Stanley Village, a sum of $15,000.00 only appears, whereas the amount actually voted was $15,500.00. This was due to a clerical error.
Of the total of $17,551.00 found necessary to be voted in 1930 to authorize expenditure incurred during 1929 in excess of the Estimates, the principal items, with the explanations of the Colonial Treasurer are appended hereunder.
$9,027.00 Further cost of proceedings instituted by Government against the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation for recrediting of sums paid out by them on forged cheques.
$1,000.00 Due to the price of Drill ordered through the Crown Agents by the Superintendent of Prisons being higher than anticipated, and to the fall in exchange.
$1,168.00 Owing to the payment of Exchange Compensation Allowances to officers returning from leave not having been fully estimated for.
$1,290.00 Owing to Private Letter Boxes, obtained in 1924 and charged to Public Works Department, being transferred to a new item under Post Office.
