Miscellaneous Services inclusive of Establishment Pensions under the Pensions Ordinance.
131 300 17000 404 Military Contribution 94000 164,009 Public Works of all sorts $900,245You will see from the abstract at Estimates, that the Establishments on these estimates show an increase of nearly $50,000 over those of 1871.
As the Establishments are never quite complete, it is fairer to compare them with the estimates for 1872. The net increase is then about $112,000.
Increase is under the Heads Police - Education - Botanic Gardens, against which there are a number of small decreases in various departments: examining into each of these latter, I find that hardly any of them are really due to Sir A. Kennedy; they are due (1) to his having inserted in the Estimates only that amount of the Civil List which will probably be drawn, though until the present the whole amount has been allowed for in the estimates, what changes have been made since the Civil List Ordinance was passed - these arise from the abolition of the separate offices of Treasurer & Auditor, and the reduction of the Salary of the new Colonial Surgeon.
(2) to last year's estimates including certain salaries which Sir R. Macpherson had increased but which the Secretary of State refused to sanction - notably the Registrar-General, the Coroners, Assistant Surveyor General, etc.
The reductions which Sir A. Kennedy has made are in the Colonial Secretary's Office, and some abatements from salaries of Clerks lately associated with the Post Office; but against these there are several minor increases of salary which he has given: these have all been brought separately under Lord Kimberley's notice.
The only point to remark on which Sir A.K. lays stress is that the total costs of $4200, $1700 under the Surveyor General, the remainder is for some 30 gardeners, coolies, and overseers, who previously have been paid out of the vote "Maintenance of gardens under Public Works, but they now come under the Establishment. This other vote is therefore reduced by $2000.
I think further explanation might have been asked for on this point, or Sir A. Kennedy might be told that this was not a heading under which any expenditure more than was absolutely necessary should be incurred.
