8. Audit has continued to press for the reversion to revenue of those deposits which under Colonial Regulation 330 or for other reasons have become no longer a liability on the Colony.
On examination of the Deposit Account "Footpaths and Drainage Connections" it was found that a profit of $12,200 covering the workings for a number of years was still included as a liability. Arrangements have now been made to transfer this amount to Revenue.
Among other amounts so transferred are:
$89.80 Post Office Boxholders Deposits,
$80.00 Hospital Patients Deposits,
$51.28 Compensation Money held in Trust.
9. In this connection the attention of the Government was drawn to the steady accumulation of the fines imposed on lower grade subordinate officers under General Order 62 and placed on deposit in Fines Funds to be applied as occasion offered for the benefit of that class of officer; The greater portion of this deposit has remained unused for many years and Heads of Departments have now been invited to make recommendations in appropriate cases for the use of these funds.
