REMARKS. (a) The expenditure for last year covered a period of two years. (h) Number of officers, 12. Travelling-allowances, £12; travelling-expenses, £47 ; fares, £58 ; motor services, £12. Increased provision necessary this year through the appointment of an additional Inspector. (c) The expenditure for this year includes an extension to one of the copra plantations to replace worn-out areas. (d) The apparent saving is due to the fact that imprest accounts for the second half of March were not received in time for inclusion in the expenditure figures for the year and were held over for the new year's accounts. The receipts for the year 1938-39 amounted to £62,089. Receipts for this year are expected to amount to £62,334. (e) The increases are accounted for by the inclusion of the imprest accounts referred to above. It is expected that receipts will cover this expenditure. (f) This expenditure will be fully recouped. The increase over the expenditure for the previous year is due to anticipated larger shipments. (,g) Banana shipments were greater than anticipated. This expenditure has been fully recouped.

REMARKS. (a) C&ntraot-growiiig of seeds was increased and there was h corresponding increase in revenue from the crops. (b) Costs of laboratory work in connection with fertilizers were absorbed by the Chemical Laboratory. In future that type of Expenditure will come to charge under this item as the result of a re-organization of laboratory activities. (c) The work was in its initial stages during 1938-39 and heavier expenditure is now necessary to ensure adequate mappings and recordings of findings. (d) Certain grass-land experiments reaching finality and during 1939-40 cropping experiments involving increased labour costs will be developed. (e) Foundation work connected with production of films relative to agricultural activities was carried out during 1938-39, and a picture talkie system to give prominence to Departmental activities was inaugurated. Some anticipated expenditure connected with film production did not arise during 1938-39 but a sound working basis was established. Interim results warrant the development of the project and funds for that purpose are being provided under this item. (/) Number of officers, 75.

REMARKS. (a) Increased provision necessary through additions to staff and to meet salary increments.

Additional provision is made for the current year to enable stock to be increased where necessary. (e) Increased costs at growing institutions necessitate extra provision being made this year. (/) Increased costs and the operation of new laundries at Kingseat and Templeton necessitate extra provision being made this year. (g) All vehicles on order were not delivered during the year. (h) Increased cost and extra issues of uniforms. (i) The shortage of female nursing staff has been acute, necessitating the working of overtime. An improvement is expected this year. (j) Transfers have been deferred as new buildings have not been completed as soon as anticipated. (h) Additional population and the advisability of carrying larger stocks necessitate additional provision being made this year. (I) The extension of occupational therapy accounts for the overexpenditure last year. A further proposed extension this year has been, provided for. 17*

REMARKS. (a) Provision was made last year for the erection of a new office at Rotorua. The building of the new quarters has not yet commenced, but provision has been made to meet the cost should it be proceeded with. (b) New item providing for preliminary work on new managed area in Westland Region. Previously shown under Subdivision VI, Pukekura Nursery. (e) Timber reserves in the North Auckland area are being fast depleted, and this forest will be called upon in the near future for supplies. Extraction routes are non-existent, and the Forest Service is roading the block in readiness for exploitation at a later date. (d) Continuation of policy inaugurated during 1938-39 of Service extracting and selling logs. (e) The area treated annually is gradually being increased. (/) Provision was made in 1938-39 under this item for roading at Omahuta and Puketi, but the expenditure was charged direct to the forest. The underexpenditure (collectively) is accounted for by the deferment of the purchase of a roading-logging tractor to the current year. (,g) The logging of this forest by the Service has been deferred meantime. (h) Provision of a new item, to which will be charged all compensation payments. The total expenditure incurred for the year will be charged to the projects employing labour in the ratio of wages paid. Compensation losses are being " pooled " to prevent heavy financial strain falling on any particular item. (i) Provision made for several major surveys of timber stands for which qualified staff could not be detailed. (j) Increased provision to meet charges for additional floor space and for rentals outstanding at 31st March, 1939. (k) Stocks of forms considerably increased. (I) A new item to finance refunds to millers in those isolated cases where boundary of license has been altered or portion of timber considered to be inaccessible.
