will be placed under the first of these heads: and
other works under the second. There will thus be
three heads of expenditure administered by the Public
Works Department, viz.:—‘‘ Public Works Depart-
ment *’, ‘‘ Public Works Annually Recurrent ’’, and
‘* Public Works Extraordinary.’’

which will extend over more than one year, there
should be shown not only the estimate for the year,
but also the original estimate for the whole work,
the revised estimate (if any), the total amount actually
expended so far as accounts are complete, and the
total amount likely to have been expended on the work
up to the beginning of the year of estimate.
236. Where the cost of any public works is to be
met by loan, and it is anticipated that the loan funds
will be available within the year of estimate, the
anticipated expenditure on such works will not appear
in the body of the Estimates; but a full statement
of such expenditure, containing the particulars men-
tioned in the preceding regulation and including a
schedule showing the salaries of any staff specially
engaged, should be appended to the general Estimates;
and, unless the law raising the loan specifically
authorises the execution of the particular works con-
templated, the amount to be expended upon each must
be sanctioned by the Legislature. In cases where
sufficient loan funds are not immediately available and
the expenditure must therefore be met in whole or in
part out of current revenue or surplus balances subject
to reimbursement in a subsequent year when the con-
templated loan has been raised, provision should be
made for the expenditure separate and distinct from
the total of other expenditure, and charged as an
advance pending reimbursement.
