Gore's circular despatch of the 25th of

November, 1937. Under that procedure a

Railway Workshops subhead would be included

in the Railway Expenditure head in the form

set out in para. 10 of the circular despatch,

showing as a debit the cost of stores, wages,

etc., and as a credit the amount of these

costs recovered from other railway subheads

or other Government Departments. The total

cash receipts from the Chinese section and

circular despatch would show the balance of

for the balance of the account.
