VOTE 16.-LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD-continued.

EXPLANATION of the Causes of Variation between Expenditure and Grant.

A.-Surplus, 2,6291. 9s. 8d., caused chiefly by resignation of Inspectors and an Assistant Inspector, and by retirements and changes in the Office Staff.

B.-Surplus, 4911. 4s. 6d. anticipated.

C. Surplus, 464l. 9s. 6d.

The amount paid during the year for Law Charges was much smaller than was

Due partly to changes in the Staff of Inspectors and Assistant Inspectors and partly to the fact that the expenditure can only be approximately estimated.

D.-Surplus, 961. 5s. 1d. Some of the items of expenditure under this Sub-Head were smaller than in previous years.

E.-Surplus, 1s. 6d. Casual variation.

F.-Surplus, 81. 14s. 9d.

Slightly over-estimated.

G.-Surplus, 960l. 7s. 2d.

Due to vacancies and changes ir the Audit Staff.

[blocks in formation]

The extent of the travelling and incidental expenses in connection with the Audits varies in different years and the Estimates under these SubHeads are necessarily approximate only.

Casual variations.

M.-Surplus, 9s. 10d. Casual variation.

N.-Surplus, 440l. 6s. 3d. The extent to which journeys by these Inspectors are required varies in different years, and cannot be accurately estimated.

P.-Surplus, 437l. 12s. 10d. \

Q.-Surplus, 1,874l. 16s. 1d. )

The expenditure under these Sub-Heads depends to a large extent upon the degree to which Smallpox is prevalent during the year, and owing to the comparative freedom from the disease it was not necessary to spend the whole of the sum provided for contingencies.

R. Surplus, 7711. 12s. 7d. Due partly to the Assistant Inspector not having been appointed and partly to an arrangement under which one of the Medical Inspectors acted as Inspector of Foods, with extra remuneration, an additional Medical Inspector being temporarily appointed.

S.-Surplus, 4811. 18s. 10d. The Inspector being mainly engaged upon preliminary work and the Assistant Inspector not having been appointed, only a small amount of travelling took place in the year.

T.-Surplus, 2001. -s. -d. The work performed by the Inspector did not necessitate any expenditure under this Sub-Head.

U.-Surplus, 51. 5s. -d. Casual variation,

V.-Surplus, 751. 7s. 7d. The Expenditure under this Sub-Head cannot be closely estimated as the amount of travelling required varies in different years.

W. Surplus, 347. 68. 6d. The quantity of apparatus and chemicals required in the year was less than was estimated.

X.-(Appropriations in Aid)-Surplus, 5647. 19s. 11d. A larger proportion of the costs of Inquiries was received during the year than was anticipated.

RECEIPTS FROM STAMPS UNDER THE DISTRICT AUDITORS ACT, 1879, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACTS, 1888 and 1894, and other Acts,-2,1717. 15s. -d. less than estimated. Mainly owing to the fact that a certain number of audits undertaken during the year were not fully completed within the period under review, and the stamp duty was therefore not received in the financial year.

RECEIPTS FROM STAMPS UNDER THE ALKALI, &c., WORKS REGULATION ACTS, 1881 and 1892.—2271. more than estimated. Chiefly due to a larger number of works being registered than was anticipated.
