The excess is due to changes in personnel. Mr. J. H. B. Lee, a cadet officer at £675 p.a. was appointed First Clerk and Magistrate on 5.2.34 in place of Mr. R. B. Wood, First Clerk (S.C. & A.S.) whose estimated salary for 1934 was $1,912. Mr. E. W. Hamilton was appointed P.M.K. on 15.11.34 in place of Mr. E. I. Wynne-Jones who remained on P.M.K.'s paylist until the end of November, their salaries being £1,400 and £1,150 per annum respectively.
The estimated deficit for the current year, arising out of such differ- ence in personal emoluments, amounts to $4,565.
A vote for $4,505 is accordingly requested.

A considerable increase in commercial and Government sampling has necessitated more travelling by the Assistant Analyst, Sampler and Coolie. Fees are paid to Government in respect of commercial sampling. It is estimated that a further $60 will be required and a supplementary vote for this sum is requested.
The above is to be met from savings under Provisions for Patients (1934 Estimates page 55 sub-head 19).

Provision made in Estimates (page 56 sub-head 54)...$ 1,600
The Lymph Grinding Machine with motor and bell jar cost $1,770.80 which exceeded the approved vote of $1,600 by $170.80. A sum of approximately $50.00 will also be required to cover Crown Agents charges.
The machine and belf jar were in accordance with specification but the motor supplied with the machine was not and had to be returned to the Crown Agents. A suitable motor (the only one of its kind in the Colony) has been purchased locally in its place at a cost of $120. The Crown Agents have been requested to claim a refund of the cost of the returned machine ($170 approximately) which refund will probably be credited to the 1935 account. In addition it has cost $35 to have the lymph grinding machine set up by the Public Works Department.
The position summarized is as follows:-

Funds for this apparatus and equipment were provided in 1933 Supplementary Budget to a total of $5,440.
Expenditure to the extent of $811 only was incurred in 1933 as the apparatus and equipment, with the Crown Agents accounts referring there- to were not received until 1934. An unexpended balance of $4,629 remained at the end of 1933, but only $4,233 is required to complete the purchase.
A revote of $4,233 is therefore requested.
