Numbers in this column are in another hand; most likely entered in Chief Secretary's office. They are probably authority numbers for the expenditures in question.

The line below the amounts in this row has been added, in order to separate off the totals in the columns.

MS written by G. Luehmann and signed by M. An earlier estimate for this period had been submitted; see M to G. Berry, 16 September 1884, which was not signed by Berry but was initialled by T. Wilson, Under Secretary.
