Budget Remarks

“A year ago." lids. H hes said. "I estimated that for t e fifteen months’ period to March Si, i944, there would be s. deficit o! prac- tlvfllli! 95.000. on ordinary ac- count. The exact figure is 004,975. In fact what happened was that the situation bettered by prec- ticoi-ly $40,000. the actual ius for the some period being a lttie over $3.000.

"Now we come to The estimated deficit on account was $186,000 and be changed. but unfor- tunately not the way the other one was. The nearest estimate I can make is that it will be in the vic- inity of 0400.000 on ordinary ac- count.

“Throughout all items there was a. reasonable adherence to the budgeted amount. The difference between the estimates and whet presumably will be the actual ex- pendlture is $261,000, and that is just the amount of the increased expenditure under the item "Main- tenance of Highways." The esti- mate in that account was $60,000 and the expenditure is in-the vic- inity of 3511.000, a difference o! $281,000.
