The Lamp Department accounts for the expenditure of an additional 3 per cent of the total, and this is practically a fixed e...xpense; the financial departments, which are certainly not extravagantly run, account for a further expenditure of 1. 5 per cent; the legislative departments, over which the Mayor has no control, account for . 75 per cent and the Water Department accounts for 3 per cent.
