Following a departmental reorganisation, Other Charges Annually Recurrent votes have been recast to relate expenditure more closely to departmental activities. The net increase of $152,500 results mainly from the transfer from the Public Works Department of provision for the maintenance of irrigation works in the New Territories.
A similar transfer of responsibility for the continuation of the construction programme for these works accounts for $300,000 of the increase under Special Expenditure. Other new items included in the overall increase are $90,700 for an irrigation system at Tai Lung Farm and $70,000 for Government's share of the costs of the 1968 Fisheries Exhibition.
