Under Other Charges Annually Recurrent the increase of $20,000 in the Pay and allowances vote reflects increased strength, while the near completion of professional scale issues of equipment to Auxiliary Fire Service personnel has brought about a saving of $20,000 under the Uniforms and accoutrements vote. The overall decrease in the provision for 1965-66 arises from the transfer of a number of votes to Head 37 Fire Services Department. The decrease in the revised estimate for 1964-65 is mainly due to a decline in attendance of personnel for voluntary training.

Other Charges Annually Recurrent for 1965-66 increased by about $40,000.--due to additional provision for subhead 7-Uniforms and accoutrements for disciplined staff. The prices for nearly all items of clothing and equipment have risen.

Under Special Expenditure provision of $3,000 has been made for the purchase of a projector and auxiliary equipment to be used in the training programme for members of the Auxiliary Medical Service.
