The increase in the revised estimate for 1968-69 under Other Charges Annually Recurrent is the result of typhoon and rainstorm damage amounting to $2 million sustained during the year.
It is estimated that at the 31st March, 1969 the number of domestic resettlement blocks will amount to 479, housing 1,049,600 people. A further 16 Mark V and VI blocks are expected to be completed during 1969-70. This progressive commissioning of new blocks and enlarging of estates and the continued expansion of the Department are reflected generally in the increase in the provision under Other Charges Annually Recurrent for 1969-70.

The increase in overall provision under Other Charges Annually Recurrent is due to a revote of $48,500 for radar spares which have been ordered but not paid for in 1968-69, increasing traffic at the airport requiring more facsimile and special copying papers and a general price increase of technical stores. Provision has also been made for building up of a three months' stock of the cheaper and improved radio- sondes brought into use on 1st January, 1969.
Under Special Expenditure an amount of $57,200 has been revoted for the Private Automatic Branch Telephone Exchange and Radiosonde Ground Equipment. Provision of $35,000 has been made for a Wave Recorder to provide information necessary for the rational design of new dams and other works, and $39,000 for the microfilming of records and charts to reduce pressure on storage accommodation. Provision has also been made to obtain a facsimile machine to reproduce weather pictures from satellites, a replace- ment copying machine and two raingauges for the Colony hydrological network.
