Explanatory Remarks

Stocks of materials already replenished thus obviating local purchase

at high cost.

Port Health Office moved to Office of Marine Dept. and light charges

met by latter.

Fewer expenses incurred than anticipated.

Less travelling done by vaccinators due to early control in spread of

infectious diseases.

Normal saving.

Suppliers did not complete the orders fully within stipulated period. More electric lights and fans installed and increased vaccine production.

Fewer expenses incurred than anticipated,

Periodic visits to Kowloon Institute and other laboratories, Taking of water samples daily from long distances caused a great increase in travelling expenses.

Consumption of malariol slightly reduced,

Economy in current consumption.

Fewer expenses incurred than anticipated.

Purchase of equipment for malaria laboratory was deferred.

Use of motor cycles resulted in smaller claims for mileage allowance.

Economy in current consumption,

Fewer expenses incurred than anticipated.

Late arrival of stores ordered in previous years,

Less travelling done.
