Actual revenue 1962-63

The short-fall in revenue both in the revised estimate for 1963-64 and the estimate for 1964-65 is due to the abnormally dry weather, and the severe restriction of hours of supply which will be imposed until normal rain-fall is received in the next wet season.

The revised estimate for 1963-64 shows an increase of $3,099,000 over the approved estimate for 1963-64. “Postage prepaid and meter postings, etc." accounts for $3,000,000 of the increase and is also the main reason for the 1964-65 estimate being greater than the approved estimate for 1963-64.

Comparative figures for the revised estimate for 1963-64 and the estimate for 1964-65, on the basis of the subheads included for 1964-65, are however as follows:-
