The completion of departmental reorganization has necessitated further recasting of Other Charges Annually Recurrent votes and, except for those which are of a general nature, each subhead now reflects the activities of one division of the Department. The net decrease of $82,400 is due mainly to reduced provision for the Agriculture Branch (in particular for the maintenance of irrigation works in the New Terri- tories) and for the Fisheries Branch.

Under Special Expenditure provision for the 1968 Fisheries Exhibition is no longer required; other reasons for the overall decrease of $211,100 are a reduction in the amount of departmental building work and in the number of new motor vehicles needed.
