4.03. The establishment of the Civil Engineering Office on 31st March, 1965 was slightly greater than the staff employed on civil engineering projects under the old organization on 1st April, 1964. Recruitment in certain key grades remained a difficulty as shown in the table below:

Grade Establishment 1st April, 1964 Strength Vacancies Establishment 31st March, 1965 Strength Vacancies 1. Engineers and Assistant Engineers 118 99 19 121 105 16 2. Inspectors of Works & Assistant Inspectors of Works (all grades) 81 72 9 81 73 8 3. Foremen (all classes) 255 196 ... 255 215 40

4.04. The increase in capacity was however more than offset by the particularly bad weather during the wet season. In the previous year which was abnormally dry, virtually no time was lost whilst in the year under review, particularly on jobs involving a great deal of earth-moving, at least two months were lost. This is shown in the table below:

Annually Recurrent (not including Typhoon & Rainstorm Damage and Works Executed on Private Account) Typhoon & Rainstorm Damage Works Executed on Private Account Non-Recurrent (not incl. work supervised by Consulting Engineers) Non-Recurrent Works supervised by Consulting Engineers 1963-64 $13,962,407.80 59,561.76 $... $3,773,094.20 $76,438,745.66 $14,590,776.97 1964-65 $13,655,975.46 $4,416,614.22 $5,078,577.61 $70,508,721.54 $23,767,373.11
