Table VI.—Expenditure on Unemployment Relief.

Note.—Expenditure by " Other Departments" shows an increase during the financial years 1934-35 to 1936-37. Settlement of unemployed workers on the land under the control of the Lands and Survey Department (Small Farms Board) accounted for the greater proportion of expenditure under this heading, approximately £222,000, £146,000, and £92,016 respectively.
