ROLLING STOCKS (Loco & C & W ) was ommitted in the June 1907 Estimate and no reason or mention of the fact given. In February 1908 $480,000 was inserted for this item, and this has been reduced in the present Estimate by $82,460.

The

Chief Resident Engineer informs me that he had estimated the carriages at more than double the cost which he now anticipates. He had also estimated for a larger quantity. He tells me

the rolling stock covered by this vote will only last till the end of 1911. Shortly after the railway is expected to open. The new stock required will be debited to Open "ine Account. This serious over Estimate requires a more intelligible

explanation.

SALARIES & ACCOUNTS. The original Estimate was decreased after

a year's working by $78,425. In the present Estimate (under saleries) it is increased by $11,572 over the original, and by

To this must be added a $89,996 over that of a year ago. further sum of $42,843 under a new head "Accounts" making a total increase over last year's Estimate of $132,839. Of this sum $10,000 is for the expenses in 1910 of the Adviser from India and is a charge approved by me. For the remaining excess

The Chief

Resident Engineer in his notes to the Estimates states that he expected the Railway accounting to be done for him by a Colonial Department, a supposition I am wholly at a loss to understand. In any case before he prepared his Estimate of February 1908 he was fully aware of the nature of the Accounting required. There is no explanation why no provision was made in that Estimate. The reason given in the report for the excess under "Salaries" is that the staff could not be reduced as expected. I am unaware of any reason for this, and

The fall in Exchange is

a fuller explanation is required.
