The excess is due to the fall in the sterling value in the dollar between the date of assessing value and the actual payment.
The above is to be met from savings under Head 33, Defence "A", (1930 Estimates page 99 sub-head 2). (C.S.O. 8 in 216/30.)

Owing to the lower rate of exchange the supplementary vote of $50,000 proves to be insufficient. A further vote of $3,171 is therefore requested to meet the expenditure to December 1930.
The above is to be met from savings under Rent of Stations (1930 Estimates page 40 sub head 23). (C.S.Ö. 18 in 173/30).
