The increase in staff is occasioned by the steady increase in work following on the general expansion of Government activities.
Under Other Charges Annually Recurrent, a significant increase ($370,000) in sub- head 3, Printing and Stationery Supplies is due to the growing demand from departments for printed matter and stationery. This increase includes an amount of $66,300 for special printing previously provided for in departmental estimates, which are correspondingly reduced.
