The increase in the revised estimate for 1968-69 for Other Charges Annually Recurrent is due to the creation of a new recurrent subhead "Computer hire charges" to undertake the calculation and updating of registered pension records of contributors to the Widows and Orphans Pension Fund.
The small increase for Other Charges Annually Recurrent for 1969-70 is to provide for the continued use of the computer bureau for updating the records of contributors.

In 1967-68, in addition to the $30,564,100 for recurrent expenditure and the $4,539,664 for non-recurrent expenditure shown above, $10,385,935 and $1,335,047 were also paid to the Universities as recurrent and non-recurrent grants under Head 36- Education Department. As from 1968-69 all subven- tions to the Universities are included under this head of expenditure with payments channelled through the University Grants Committee. The lower revised estimate for Other Charges Special Expenditure for 1968-69 has been caused by slight delay in the construction of some capital projects.

The increase in the revised estimates for 1968-69 for Other Charges Annually Recurrent is mainly due to supplementary provisions of $423,000 for Gin Drinkers Bay Dump and $100,000 for Public Recreation Activities approved during the year.
The overall increase in Other Charges Annually Recurrent reflects the continued expansion of the activities of the Department, with major increases of $210,300 for fuel, light and power; $60,000 for maintenance of urban amenities, parks and playgrounds; $100,000 for stores and equipment and $183,000 for running expenses of vehicles and travelling expenses. Other changes of significance include the creation of a new item under subhead 12, with provision of $100,000, for financing minor works in hawker bazaars and increased provision of $128,000 under subhead 14, with a more appropriate title, reflecting the increased attention now being paid to public recreation and youth activities.
Under Special Expenditure, an additional $650,000 has been provided for expansion of urban amenities, parks and playgrounds. Of the total vote of $10,774,000, a sum of $3,093,100 has been revoted from 1968-69.
