The working-expenses of the institutions have little connection with the amount of fees collected on account of the inmates, and in any case the work involved in making an allocation of this revenue is out of proportion to any result obtained.

I hereby certify that the Revenue Account and Balance-sheet have been examined and compared with the relative books and documents submitted for audit, and correctly state the position as disclosed thereby, subject to the above departmental note. The following comment is appended: Interest due by the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Account in respect of capital moneys advanced to that account (£13,500,000) has been credited on the full amount advanced, whereas such capital moneys are, in accordance with a ruling of the Crown Law Office, reducible in terms of section 8 (1) (b) of the Repayment of the Public Debt Act, 1925, as amended by section 21 of the Finance Act, 1927 (No. 2) by any amounts lawfully written ofl (whether before or after the commencement of the 1925 Act) by virtue of the operations of the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Acts. The amount of such interest is not therefore in accordance with the existing law. The Treasury advises that it is its intention to have the Act amended so as to obviate the necessity for this comment in future. —G. F. C. Campbell, Controller and Auditor-General.
