Head 58--Public Works Department
Personal Emoluments and Other Charges
2.13. Expenditure under this Head totalled $95,019,000 as against $84,499,000 in the previous year. This represents an increase of 11.0% and is mainly accounted for by a larger establishment, annual increments and overtime allowances. A total of 55,235 overtime claims were processed during the year and total overtime worked amounted to 1,951,850 hours or 243,981 man days. This is 27% higher than the previous year and generally reflects the additional hours worked due to the 1967 disturbances. No significant increases or decreases in other charges expenditure are recorded, although expenditure on travelling expenses continues to increase. Under special expenditure $3,125,800 was provided for a variety of plant and equipment but due to delays in delivery only $1,517,000 was spent during the year.
