13. The increase of Es. 62,803 was chiefly due to payments of arrears of the An gria
Family Pensions.
14 The transfer of transactions under “ Imperial Marine Department Pensions ” to tll6
Military group of the Finance and Revenue Accounts was the chief cause of the decrease of
Es. 46,275. . , , .
15. The increase of Es. 89,049 was mainly due to mereased demand, to the substituti 0a
of country-made azure-laid paper for the imported article, and to the mclusio of certain charges
on account of last year.
16. The decreases of Rs. 69,899, Rs. 2,63,775, and Es. 5,168 under the heads Miscell a .
neous, Famine Relief, and Civil Works, respectively, were due to the absence ol the special
causes which accounted for the expenditure last year.
.Provincial Civil Expenditure.
1. The excess of Rs. 67,673 was largely due to refunds of Tag£i instalments erroneously
credited to Land Revenue and to a special refund of duty on hemp drugs to the Baioda State.
2. The increase of Rs. 6,203 was due chiefly to adjustment of assessment on alienated
lands owing to revision surveys.
3. There was an increase of Rs. 2,72,571, mainly due to expenditure on temporary
establishments, the survey of Talukdari villages, the division of Khandesh, the opening of the
Mirpur Khds Treasury, and on English Stores in the Photo-zinco Office.
4. The increases of Rs. 5,095 and Rs. 56,532 under Stamps and Excise, and the decrease
of Es. 17,661 under Forests are due to the causes explained under the corresponding heads of
Imperial expenditure.
5. There was an increase of Rs. 14,751 due to the introduction of the revised scheme of
fixed salaries iu the department.
6. The increase of Rs. 1,10,151 was chiefly due to the new Local Audit Department, to
arrears of payments on account of the Royal Visit, and to expenditure under sumptuary allow
ance, under the contract allowance of His Excellency the Governor, and in connection with the
Decentralisation Commission.
7. There was an increase of Rs. 90,313 under Courts of Law, principally due to two
temporary additional appointments of Judges in the High Court, plague and grain compensa
tion allowances, and heavy charges under <f Law Officers ”, and a decrease of Rs. 27,643 under
Jails owing to a smaller jail population.
. 8- The increase of Rs. 5,35.355 was chiefly due to the cost of the Bombay City Police
falling on Provincial funds under the City Police Charges Act, 1907, to expenditure consequent
on the reorganization of the Police force, and to increased travelling and plague allowances.
9. There was an increase of Rs. 9,096, largely due to the removal of the Shipping Office,
Bombay, trom the Town Barracks to a hired building, and to increased fees for overtime work.

11 . The decrease of Rs. 2,97,209 was the result of the transfer of charges hitherto borne
by Government to the Bombay Municipality under the City Police Charges Act which has
more_ than counterbalanced an increase of expenditure on dietary charges, on’ grants to
