53. Light Fuel Diesel Oil. Due mainly to the running of more passenger trains, the consumption of diesel oil increased considerably and the quantity purchased during the year was 93,721 imperial gallons more than that purchased during the previous year. The price remained at $0.76 per imperial gallon.
The figures for the consumption of light fuel diesel oil are shown in Appendix VIII.
54. Purchases from Government Stores. Consequent upon the transfer on 31st March, 1963 of the Kowloon-Canton Railway Unallocated] Stores to the Controller of Stores, all unallocated stores were, from 1st April, 1963 onwards, drawn in the normal manner from Government Stores. This accounts for the large increase of $611,197.96 compared with the previous year.
55. Indents. A total of 45 indents were forwarded to Crown Agents, through Government Stores for materials at an estimated cost of £23,050.
