Shillings and pence are omitted in order to save space and to simplify examination; but
the various totals given were ascertained before the omissions were made.
Apportionments have been made in certain cases where items of expenditure as shown
above have not been kept separately in the books at the Welfare Centres; also, in soma
cases where a school for mothers and a day nursery are maintained on the same premises,
it has been necessary to make apportionments in order to arrive at the figures to be
included in this table.
