Provision made in Estimates (page 91 sub-head 41)...$ 95,000

An officer of this class, whose family is resident in the Colony and who rents an approved separate tenement, is entitled to a rent allowance of $110 a month or the actual rent whichever is less. During 1935 fewer officers have been able to find suitable accommodation at an actual rent below the maximum allowable. The number of officers on leave was also consider- ably below the average. Inadequate provision was made for the resultant increase in expenditure and a supplementary vote for $25,000 is requested.

The provision in the 1935 Estimates is not sufficient to meet the subsistence allowances paid to the Director, Royal Observatory for attend- ance at the Empire Conference and the International Meteorological Conference held in London and Warsaw amounting to $146.36 (£14. 15s. Od.).

A supplementary vote for the amount is therefore requested.

The above is to be met from savings under Head 11, Royal Observa- tory, sub-head 5 (1935 Estimates page 35 sub-head 5).
