supplementary a 1 location of $210.00 the vote still proved inadequate, but this was dis covered too late to permit any action being taken to supplement.
In spite of a Prior to the approval of the Developnent Estimates, expenditure was being incurred under this subhead in connection with the establishment of the Road Project and the stock-piling of materials etc., on the understanding that the amount so expended would be adjusted to the relevant Development Head.
The inadvertent omission of this adjustment is the reason for the excess • The intensification of the road programme placed a great strain on tl"B financial r esources of the Laboratory • The omission by District Officers to process adjustments for stone supplied, coupled with the unrealistic price at which stone is sold were mainly responsible for this excess.

The incorrect posting of such expenditure to the maintenance vote brought about the excess.

This work is not an annual feature.

This excess was not antic3_pa ted and it was realised too late to apply for Supplemente.ry Provision.

The inc~ease in the minimum wage to $4.00 per day in September contributed t6 this excess, Supplementary Provision of $30,000.00 proved to be inadequate.
