private forests. The following information should, however, be given with regard to
the objects for which the first items of the credits were provided. ^
In Table 4 above, the heading “ Reconstruction of railway-station buildings includes,
in particular, bridges and tunnels, points, safety signals and permanent-way repairs. As
regards rural districts, the heading “ Other buildings only refers to silos. The heading
“Land settlement ” includes grants to the owners of arable land, etc., for cultivation and
building, settlement in the national parks, and State subsidies for cultivating and improving
the pastureland of farms not fully developed. The information regarding building work
has been given above. The heading “ Transmission of motor power ” relates mainly to
the electrification of the State Railways. The headings “ Telegraph, Telephone and
Postal installations ” are not quite correct, since they also include credits for the building
of telegraph offices and post offices; but it appeared preferable to include these credits
under the headings in question rather than under “ Other buildings . Lastly, the heading
“ Other works ’ includes certain work carried out for national defence.
Financing of the credits.—The credits relating to the ordinary budget have, for
the most part, been financed by other means than by loans. Some of these credits were,
however, opened by means of loans issued in accordance with the general rules m force
for State loans.
Table 6 below shows the amounts raised by loans :
