- Services of and a saving rinder $185,199

Public Works Extraordinary of 49,994 or a net excess of $135,205

A draft Bill was published in the Government Gazette of the 19th November 1892 for further provision for the year 1891 under $249,940

Services $139,193, Public Works Extraordinary, 110,747 Total $360,689 (Jobal)

The further proposed Vote under the head of services would legalise the aggregate excess over the original Estimates under the various Votes, whilst the amount under Public Works Extraordinary seems to provide for the Expenditure of those works which were not voted under Ordinance No 23 of 1891.

The various excesses and savings on the Votes as shown in the Annual Account do not appear to call for comment beyond the fact that the excesses were principally caused by the depreciation of the Dollar, transactions having been converted from Sterling to Currency at the low rate of 3/2d per Dollar. The rate of conversion was at the average Exchange of the year.

In future years the rate will be at the average exchange for each quarter.
