REMARKS. (a) £5,000 was the estimated net amount chargeable to the vote after providing for the disposal of the exhibit. Authority was subsequently given for a temporary overexpenditure to a gross amount of £11,040 for the erection of the exhibit and for running-expenses for the exhibition period. A proportion only of the total cost came to charge during the financial year 1939 40, and provision is taken for the amount required to meet expenses to the closing-date of the exhibition. (b) This expenditure is under the control of the Agriculture Department, by which Department the estimate has been furnished. (c) Owing to the lack of trained staff it was not possible to prosecute this work to the same extent as in previous years.
