The lower estimated expenditure for 1967-68 compared with the revised estimate for 1966-67 stems mainly from a reduction in the amount that will be spent on cash register and accounting machines. Some savings will also be brought about by the planned move of the Kowloon Sub-Treasury from rented premises to the new Kowloon Post Office Building.

Other Charges Annually Recurrent show a decrease of $276,500 when compared with the Revised Estimate for 1966-67. The main reason for this decrease is a reduction of $1,040,100 in Gin Drinkers Bay expenses, brought about by the coming into operation of the Kennedy Town Incinerator in 1967-68 and a consequent run down of the Refuse Dump. Major increases due to increased activity are $200,000 for Stores and Equipment, $100,000 for Vehicle Running Expenses, $100,000 for Uniforms and $75,000 for Fuel, Light and Power.

Special Expenditure includes $835,100 for Revotes, $540,100 for Replacement Vehicles and an increase of $500,000 for Urban amenities, parks and playgrounds.
