quently adopted as the revised estimate and sanctioned in G.O., No. 605, Revenue,

Of the above total, Rs. 10,634–13–0 represent amounts due on the transactions of
the previous year, and credited as outstandings in the balance sheet (statement 12)
appended to the last annual report.
In this statement Rs.13,368–13–9 were shown as outstanding at the end of the
year, but under instructions from the Accountant-General sums amounting to Rupees
2,734–0–9 were adjusted in the accounts for the year 1896-97 after the submission
of the annual report and the outstandings were therefore reduced to Rs. 10,634–13–0.
The actual receipts appertaining to the year under review therefore amount to
Rs. 1,36,892–7–6, and at the close of the year Rs. 2,867–9–0, as shown below,
were due to the department for quinine and febrifuge supplied, giving a total of
Rs. 1,39,760–0–6, as the result of the year's transactions to be set against an expendi-
ture of Rs. 78,317–11–1 or a profit of Rs. 61,442–5–5, exclusive of the increase in
the value of stock at the close of the year as compared with that at the commencement
of the year.

The value of quinine packets in stock with Collectors and Postmasters is not
included in the above list of outstandings due to the department. These packets being
unsold are reckoned as a portion of the stock at the end. of the year and are therefore
included in the stock statement.
( b ) Expenditure.—The budget estimate of expenditure for the year was Rupees
87,200 as sanctioned in G.O., No. 701, Revenue, of 25th October 1895. This was
altered by the Accountant-General to Rs. 86,600. In September 1896 the revised
estimate was framed at Rs. 78,900 and was accepted by Government in G.O., No. 830,
Financial of 2nd December 1896. Compared with the budget estimate of Rs. 87,200
and a revised estimate of Rs. 78,900, the actual expenditure amounted to Rupees
78,317–11–1, showing a surrender from the budget of Rs. 8,882–4–11. This
reduction is chiefly due to the difference between the salary of the present Director
and that drawn by the former incumbent of the post.
The expenditure for the year, viz., Rs. 78,317–11–1, compared with that of the
previous year, viz., Rs. 83,087–1–6, shows a saving of Rs. 4,769–6–5. Of the above
