Abstract: [This shows a more detailed report on the expenses of the Supreme Court for the year 1937 in which the sum of Php 230,256 is requested. This amount is Php 30,693 more than that authorized for the Court in 1936, after setting aside a saving of Php 87,660 due to the abolition, in accordance with the provisions of Commonwealth Act No. 3, of four positions of Associate Justices and to the resulting reduction in personnel and appropriations for sundry expenses. The increase is due to the item of Php 36,000 for rental of the Ayuntamiento, which formerly formed part of the appropriations for the Department of the Interior. Part of it, however, is offset by slight reductions in the appropriations for sundry expenses and the conversion of the item for holding the bar examinations into expenditure payable directly from the receipts.]
Fulltext: K.—SUPREME COURT For the ensuing year, the sum of 1*230,256 is requested. This amount is 1*30,693 more than that authorized for the Court in 1936, after setting aside a saving of 1*87,660 due to the abolition, in accordance with the provisions of Commonwealth Act No. 3, of four positions of Associate Justices and to the resulting reduction in personnel and ap propriations for sundry expenses. The increase is due to the item of 1*36,000 for rental of the Ayuntamiento, which formerly formed part of the appropriations for the Department of the Interior. Part of it, however, is offset by slight reductions in the appropriations for sundry expenses and the conversion of the item for holding the bar examinations into expenditure payable directly from the receipts. Para el año venidero, se pide la suma de 1*230,256 para la Corte Suprema. Esta cantidad es f*30,693 mayor que la consignación total para 1936 después de haber realizado un ahorro de 1*87,660 por la abolición de cuatro puestos de Magistrados, de acuerdo con la Ley No. 3 del Commonwealth, y la reducción consiguiente del personal y de las consignaciones para gastos varios. El aumento se debe a la partida de 1*36,000 para el alquiler del Ayuntamiento, que anteriormente formaba parte de las consignaciones para el Departamento del Interior. Parte de dicho aumento está, sin embargo, compen sada por ligeras reducciones en las consignaciones para gastos varios y por la conversión de las partidas para celebrar exámenes de abogados en gastos pagaderos directamente de sus ingresos.
