Other Charges Annually Recurrent show a decrease of $166,200 in comparison with the Revised Estimate for 1967-68.

The salaries of the Housing Authority's staff are reimbursed to Government by the Authority, together with a surcharge to cover overheads and liability for pensions, passages, medical services, etc. Salaries and surcharges in respect of staff for Government Low Cost Housing Estates are covered by the provision under items 1 and 2 of Subhead 2; for those who work for the Local Government Officers' Housing Scheme salaries and surcharges are recharged to the Development Loan Fund.
The increase in provision under Other Charges Annually Recurrent is required to meet the pre- management and management charges incurred by the new Government Low Cost Housing Estates at Sha Tin Pass, Wong Chuk Hang and Kwai Chung Area 9 which are expected to be taken over for management in 1968-69.
