Reimbursement in aid

It is satisfactory to find a steady increase in fees from scholars at Central School.

Other Miscellaneous receipts show a decrease of $10,000.

Salaries, contingencies, and services exclusive of establishments but subsidiary to them:

Mr. Marsh gives an account of this increase in his despatch: $1,584 out of the amount represents only a nominal increase, a transfer from the item "Public Works" to "establishments". $2,920 represents small increases to Salaries which have been put on the estimate, and which include some "small sums, which this office has practically already agreed to, e.g. an increase to the Salary of Mr. Ford - Superintendent of the Botanical Gardens of $360, nominally equal to £75.
