Head 60-63 — Public Works
Non-Recurrent
8.05. There are four separate non-recurrent heads of expenditure viz: Headquarters, Buildings, Civil Engineering and Waterworks. The accumulative total non-recurrent expenditure for the year was $480,000,000 i.e. 19.1% less than that estimated and 18.2% less than the previous year's actual expenditure. Reference is made elsewhere in this Report to the reasons why the Department did not realize the total estimated expenditure for the year. A 'Statistical Summary of Non-Recurrent Expenditure' at Appendix E sets out under each non-recurrent Head, the actual expenditure against the approved provision for the year.
8.06. The following comparative statement illustrated graphically at Appendix A shows public works expenditure over the ten years 1957-58 to 1966-67.
