while the total actual outlay
under this head was......... 191.l9
or expended above the sum
granted. .......... $20697
According 10 calculations obtained from
the Bookkeeper's Office this is explained
as follows:
that the expenditure includes an amount
for % helmets, % police StaffS and %
leathern belts, which were sent out from
Denmark, viz: $l44.G3; and that an amount
OF 800 for extra Uniforms ought properly
to nave been entered sub Item Il 3, UnCer-
tain Expenses.
Under the Item D. 8. Harbour and
Pilot Department the following eX
cessts of expenditure have occurred,
viz: "For lighting materials and for re-
pairs of and attendance to the Light at the
Point Battery" an amount Of Sis. ~; the
cause of which has been stated to be an
improvement made in the Lighting Appa-
ratus, and "for dredging the harbour along
the wllarves and between these and the
Quay" an amount of $40.
Sub Item d 6, The Post Department,
the following excesSes Of amounts granted
have occurred, viz: "F0r procuring artl-
cles of inventory and requisites and tor
payment of extra turns with the nails, an
amount of $93.73. BY the ROOkkrcpcr'S
Office thec use Of that is stated to be, that
in view Of the actual requirements, part,
cularly for "RequiSiteS", in consequence OF
the more extended pos al c0mmun cation,
for instance through Postal Money Orders,
there should have been granted an amount
of about $4,000. The cause Of an excess
of $198. 20 for balancing Accounts Current
under the Postal Exchanges between st.
Thomas, Denmark and Foreign Countries
is owing to the fact that on the Budget
nothing was entered for that purpose,
which ought, however, to have been
done.
Sub D IL, The Sanitary Department
the item For training Of 2 Midwives i'll
the Royal Lying In.InStitution Of Copen-
hagen" has been exceeded with Sl3l.l1,
which has beenexplained to have been caus-
ed by one midwife having had to remain

an excess Of SOL 40, which by the Book
keepers Office and The Inspector Of Build
ings has been explained 10 originate from
this, that in the Accounts, The item Elf
buildings at the Custom Harbour and
Lighthouse Department in ChliStiausted
and The WHARF, which item has been
exceeded with $9O.52, has Iy a mistake
been charged the expenditure for the
repairs OF The Light at the Point Battery,
which expenditure ought more correctly to

and containing 6 different items, among
which the fourth one was "Repairs Of he
Light at the Point Battery"
Item E 3, Uncertain expenses nave
been overslepped with ~S1.O54.33. This is
