NO. 5 (1922) COST OF THE DEPARTMENT 129 



That the department after paying all expenses of supervision 

 and a large non-productive outlay for educational purposes should 

 show an adverse balance of not more than Rs. 34,487, over these 

 four years is a record of which it is justifiably proud. The official 

 publication of the department is its " Bulletin." The 'seventeenth 

 volume is now under issue, the first two constituent reports being in 

 the press. The aim of the department is to record its experiments 

 and results as fully as possible, that those interested may be able 

 to utilize the facts ascertained with as little delay as'possible. As 

 will be seen from the list given above the range of subject matter is 

 varied and extensive and has not been confined to purely technical 

 subjects.
