APPENDIX A—continued.

■ J. W. Soott, A.R.A.N.Z., Chief Accountant. W. L. Newnham, Engineer-in-Chief and Under-Secretary. The expenditure charged to the Public Works Fund has been examined and found correct subject to the remark that, as the Appropriation Act, 1941, made no provision for subdivisions in vote, " Public Buildings," the allocation of expenditure to the several subdivisions of that vote has not been checked.—Cyril G. Collins, Controller and Auditor-General.
