Go ndeontar suim ná raghaidh thar £11,429 chun slánuithe na suime is gá chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 3ladh lá de Mhárta, 1934, chun Tuarastail agus Costaisí na hOifige Clárathachta Maoine Tionnscail agus Tráchtála. —(Uimh. 16 de 1927 agus Uimh. 13 de 1929).
That a sum not exceeding £11,429 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1934, for the salaries and expenses of the Industrial and Commercial Property Registration Office. —(No. 16 of 1927 and No. 13 of 1929).
There is a considerable reduction in the amount provided for salaries, wages and allowances. Last year the sum was £20,425. This year the amount is £16,569, showing a decrease of £3,856. That is the main change in the Vote. I am informed that has arisen owing to the fact that certain vacancies were unfilled and the temporary staff that had to be engaged in this office to deal with a big rush of work in connection with patents has no longer been found necessary and has been discharged.
