2.12. The total expenditure for 1968-69 amounted to $495,613,000 which represents a drop of 8.5% compared with the previous year. Despite this, the Department continues to be the largest spending department in Government, the total being 26.4% of the Colony's total expenditure for the year and, if expenditure on military works and services is included, about 90% of the combined total of the next three large spending departments.
Head 58-Public Works Department
Personal Emoluments and Other Charges
2.13. Expenditure under this head totalled $110,570,000 as against $95,019,000 in the previous year. This represents an increase of 16%, largely attributable to higher expenditure on Personal Emoluments ($104,641,000) resulting from a larger establishment, annual increments and the 1968 Salaries Revision. A total of 59,508 overtime claims were processed during the year and total overtime worked amounted to 2,004,557 hours or 250,570 man-days; this is marginally higher than the previous year. Expenditure under other charges was some $690,000 higher than in 1967-68, principally because of increased spending on plant and equipment, although delays in delivery meant that only $2 million was actually spent on such items during the year against the $3,850,700 provided under special expenditure.
Head 59-Public Works Recurrent
2.14. Total recurrent expenditure on maintenance works and services for the year, excluding those executed on private account, amounted to $90,160,000; an increase of 10.8% over the previous year and the highest figure yet recorded for this head. Expenditure under eighteen individual subheads was up, two new subheads were created in 1968-69, and in no less than ten cases the increase was 20% or more.
