The 1965-66 Estimates exceed the Estimates for the current year because of staff expansion and the general increased tempo of work. The overall excess in comparison to the Revised Estimates 1964-65 is some $818,200 which is less than the increase in Personal Emoluments because Special Expenditure for 1965-66 is not expected to be so heavy.

Under Other Charges Annually Recurrent, the overall increased provision reflects the expansion of the Judiciary and is concentrated mainly in the votes covering rent, temporary magistrates and legal aid for criminal cases in the Supreme Court.

Under Special Expenditure, $122,200 is for the expansion of the Supreme Court library, books and reports for new Courts and additions to Judges' libraries. $10,000 is provided for microfilming old news- papers which are of considerable value in the absence of official law reports. $20,400 is provided for electric typewriters for additional court reporters and tape recorders for additional judges.
