STORE ACCOUNTS.
49. The examination of the various Store Accounts calls for no special comment. Surprise surveys of Government Stores were made by this department during the year as reported in the Quarterly Returns. The stock of Ammunition etc. stored at the Gunpowder Depot was subject to periodical surveys according to audit programme.
MISALLOCATIONS TOO LATE FOR ADJUSTMENT.
50. A portion of the salaries and allowances of certain P.W.D. officials was incorrectly transferred from Expenditure Votes to the debit of a Sand Suspense Account which had been brought into operation during the year in connection with the Ordinance controlling the supply and issue of sand. The amount involved was $2,915 but next year these salaries will remain as a charge against the expenditure account.
A further misallocation was $45, credited to Postage which should have been credited to Fees of Court.
QUERIES.
51. Replies to queries have been promptly received and no queries on the year's accounts are outstanding.
Among the larger recoveries effected in audit are:-
$6.91-Rent of Government Quarters uncollected.
£82-Passage Money charged to Government in error. $129-Duty under-collected.
$100-Cargo permit uncollected.
$43-Acting Pay overpaid.
52. Exception was taken to a claim for travelling expenses incurred by an officer in 1931 amounting to G$447 ($924.80) being met in 1935, by which date supporting vouchers were not available. The Governor, to whom the matter was referred, authorised the payment of a round sum of G$400.
GENERAL.
53. Over a hundred surprise surveys of cash, stamps etc. held by departments were made during the year as reported in the Progress Returns but call for no special comment.
54. There has been no material departure from the approved Programme of Work.

Auditor.
