The original estimate of $50,000 was of an arbitrary nature. Number of staff required and duration of work were indefinite at time of estimating and the vote has proved inadequate.
It is hoped to complete the tabulation of statistics from the Census enumeration by the end of September but it may take a little longer, and it is considered necessary to apply for a further sum of $10,000 to com- plete the work. (C.S.O. 5750/29.)
