1889-90.
CAPITAL AND REVENUE ACCOUNT.
Capital.—The Capital account of the department was increased by Rs.
32,735, and stood on the 31st March 1890 at Rs. 1,14,58,957. These figures
include for the first time in these accounts a sum of Rs. 1,84,856 on account of
loss by exchange on English Stores for and up to the period ending 31st March
1890.
The increase is made up as follows :—
Rs.
Buildings ... ... ... ... 8,769
Stores ... ... ... ... 6,606
Suspense heads ... ... ... ... 17,360
Total ... 32,735
The sum of Rs. 6,606 under the head of Stores is due to the purchase of a
larger quantity of stores, chiefly on account of the large renewals of cables now
in progress ; and the amount under suspense heads includes sums due from the
Persian Government for the value and freight of stores supplied. These sums
are in course of recovery.
Appendix A is a summary of the expenditure on Capital account during the
year under review’, and Appendix D is a summary of the Capital and Revenue
accounts for the last five years.

penditure of the year 1889-90 is shown in Appendix B. The expenditure of
the year under review amounted to Rs. 10,47,568 against Rs. 9,53,223, the
expenditure of the previous year, showing an increase of Rs. 94,345. This in
crease is principally due to the extensive renewals of cables, which by the special
sanction of the Government of India are now being made.
