10. The principal Heads of Expenditure which showed increases over the Estimates were as follows:-

His Excellency the Governor $ 10,844 Treasury 14,721 Imports and Exports Office 34,265 Harbour Department 52,320 Supreme Court 12,270 Attorney General's Office 21,768 Magistracy, Kowloon 13,757 Prison Department 65,394 Pensions 41,808 Public Works Department 477,746

These increases were mainly due to the effect of lower exchange on the payment of sterling salaries and pensions. In many cases the increases would have been greater but for the practice of rigid economy in expenditure on Other Charges.

Imports and Exports Office.

Personal Emoluments required supplementing to the extent of $30,437 and a new item was added of $23,786 for the purchase of prepared opium from Singapore; these increases were, however, reduced by savings on every other subhead but one amounting to $20,038. The net increase was, therefore, $34,265.

Harbour Department.

There was an increase of $30,417 in Personal Emoluments and of $19,574 in Coal and Oil Fuel due to lower exchange and an additional sum of $40,625 was required in Special Expenditure for the completion of a new Police Launch No. 1, the last item being due to the unavoidable deferment of a payment for which provision had been made in 1935. The increases total $91,933 but on practically every other subhead savings were effected totalling $39,614 so that the net increase was reduced to $52,320.

Attorney General's Office.

The increase is due partly to lower exchange and to additional appointment in connection with the revision of the Ordinances.

Magistracy, Kowloon.

An additional appointment and lower exchange are also the causes of the increase in this Department.
