APPRECIATION
13.01. The considerable expansion in output by all branches of the Department, as described in this Report, was achieved with only a small increase in staff, the expenditure on staff being only 15% more than in the previous year. I am most grateful to all members of the staff for their loyalty and hard work, which made this expansion possible.
13.02. The year was marred by the Water Emergency, which involved many members of the Department and placed them under a considerable strain. The success with which the Emergency was met was due to their efforts together with strenuous efforts by other Government departments, willing help by industry and admirable co-operation by the public, who accepted the most uncomfortable conditions resulting from the shortage of water with patience and understanding.
