The continued expansion of the Department is reflected in the net increase of $155,400 under Other Charges Annually Recurrent of which the renting of additional departmental quarters in the New Territories and the increase in travelling expenses form the main part.

Under Special Expenditure the sum of $200,000 is in respect of an increase to the amount to be spent on local public works while the estimated cost of forming the site of a small resettlement area at Fo Tan is $345,000.

The increased provision for 1965-66 is accounted for partly by normal expansion in expenditure on civil awards under subhead 1(1) and partly by higher commitments in respect of contract gratuities payable under subhead 7(1).

Other Charges Annually Recurrent show an overall increase of $2,581,500. Increased provi- sions are included under a number of votes, principally, Cleaning of offices, offset by savings on Labourers; Rent, to cover cost of additional rented accommodation; Fuel, light and power for new buildings; Towing fees, to meet costs of towing away an ever increasing number of illegally parked vehicles (a large proportion of this particular expenditure is, however, recovered and credited to Revenue) and Uniforms and accoutrements for disciplined staff.

Items under Special Expenditure, apart from revotes include provision for new vehicles, as re- placements and for expansion of existing activities; and continuation of the reorganization of land and marine communications:
