an increase of $501.54, as compared with 1910. 
Increase in Singapore $624.20 and in Penang and Province Wellesley $1,619.24; 
decrease in Dindings $286 02 and Malacca $1,456.88. Increase in Singapore was due 
to purchase of bicycle $60, rest house at Tuas $200 and extra expenditure on 
Conservator of Forests, travelling. Singapore as usual paid one-third of the salary of 
the Conservator of Forests, and his expenses under transport and personal vote, while 
travelling on duty in the Straits Settlements. 
The increase in Penang over 1910 is chiefly in Personal Hlmoluments, partly 
compensated for by a decrease in the Dindings.
