This Act authorises £244,594 to be issued from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the year ending 30 June 1917 for additions, new works and buildings, and amends earlier Supply Acts so that the aggregate allocations in the Second Schedule (£5,515,684) are payable for the projects listed there. The funds cover a range of Commonwealth departments; the Treasurer issues them on Governor‑General warrants and they must be spent by 30 June 1917.
