(*) Total expenditure exceeds total revenue in the 1938-39 budgets, owing to the fact that part of the expenditure, authorised in two supplementary budgets for 1938-39 passed in March, 1939, was to be met from a surplus (the amount of which was not given in the estimates) expected to be realised from the other budgets for 1938-39.
