Under Other Charges Annually Recurrent, provision has been made for a new subhead "Pay- ment to contractors for goods services" to cover a percentage of the charges for loading and unloading goods, payable to contractors who tender annually for the sole and exclusive right to perform this service. Previously such payments were debited to Revenue Head 10 K.C.R. Subhead 3-Goods services. The ex- penditure charged to this new subhead will be offset by an equivalent increase in revenue in the Goods Services subhead.
The main items under Special Expenditure provide for the phased programme for the renewal of the permanent way, the extensions of platforms at Railway Stations and the erection of an overhead bridge at Fanling.
Other major items consist of revotes, totalling $801,800, which include renewal of signalling equipment, the construction of an overhead bridge and fence at Sha Tin and the purchase of hydraulic re-railing equipment.

The revised estimate under Other Charges Annually Recurrent for 1968-69 shows an increase of $9,900 compared with the approved estimate for the year. The major reason for this increase was the hiring of a vehicle for the conveyance of explosives. This will be discontinued when a Government vehicle provided for this purpose comes into service, and the estimate for 1969-70 shows a consequent decrease.
Provision for 1969-70 under Other Charges Special Expenditure is to enable replacement for one
vehicle.
