The other is for meeting special needs in the interest of agricultural, commercial, and industrial education. Most of the increases in the first section are for establishing an examination office, expanding Al-Nasriya Teachers' School, and adding new sections to Ras El-Tin School, which is equivalent to establishing a new secondary school. In the second section, 85,000 Egyptian Pounds are for the construction of two new schools for commerce and practical agriculture. What remains will be discussed in the chapter dedicated to it.

It is gratifying that the Egyptian government's subsidy for Sudan's expenses has been reduced by a significant amount of 25,000 Egyptian Pounds. This subsidy has decreased in recent years, as shown in the following table: EGP 253,000 208,000 198,000 188,000 163,000 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 The steady increase in Sudan's revenues, which made this reduction possible, indicates the success of the Egyptian government's generous policy in developing Sudan's wealth resources. It is hoped that the day will soon come when this burden will be lifted from the Egyptian budget.

New special appropriations for non-recurring expenses amounted to 594,000 Egyptian Pounds, compared to 33,300 Egyptian Pounds in 1911. The main items for which this amount is allocated are 45,000 Egyptian Pounds for the completion of the new Boulac and Zamalek bridges, 15,000 Egyptian Pounds for the Boulac quay, and 45,000 Egyptian Pounds for the reconstruction of various government buildings such as district offices and police stations in Cairo and the governorates. 125,000 Egyptian Pounds are for the establishment of new shops in Baristan El-Khanqa, and other sums for the expansion of Alexandria Hospital, the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Cairo, the expansion of bacteriology work, and the expansion of the Khedivial courts in Alexandria, Port Said, and El-Tor.
