It will be seen that the expenditure for 1927 is expected to fall below the estimate for 1928 by over a million dollars, and below that of 1925 by six million dollars. It will also be seen that the form of the estimates has been altered slightly.

Thus in the above list the District Offices are shown separately this time, also the Magistracies, Official Receiver, Land Office, etc.

One item which does not appear this year is the Port Dovelopment Department, which, it will be re- membered, has been remerged into the Public Works, Department.

There are two now itoms. Last year for the first time the Junior Clerical Staff was shown separately. This year there is also an item for Accounting Senior Clerical and Staff. Another new item of mote is the Royal Naval Volunteer Reservo, for whcih $40,000 is being voted.

The Public Debt and Military Contribution do not usually appear in this preliminary list.

The words "Special Expenditure" have practically disappeared from the Budget, indicating that expendi ture is being confined to mainten-

ance.

The estimated expenditure for 1927 is the lowest for several years, ng the following table shows, the figures being exclusive. of Public Dobt and Military Defence votes: Estimated Actual $ 9,081,209 8,605,105
