The further increased war allowances granted to the company% employees in March, Angust, and December, and the further idoresse in the cost of materials, coal, and other stores have large ly added to the expenditure. Some of the work of repairs and. renewals bar again had to be postponed. owing to the short supply of -workmen, as well. aa of materials, but adequate provision has been made for the work so postponed by the addition of £2000 to the reserve for contingencies and repairs, No portion for the reserve for con-- tingencies and repairs set aside up to December, 1916, has been The total am unt now spent. reserved therefore stands at | £59,000.
