aThe regular expenditures in this table represent the total of those expenditures of the general
accounts which came under the control of the Navy Office, with the exclusion, however, of the wartime administrative expenses. The division of fiscal years for the war-time military expenditures
for the Navy has been made in the same way as for the war-time military expenditures for the Army.
dinary expenditures from 15,000,000 yen to 41,000,000 yen,
aggregating from 36,000,000 yen to 58,ooo,ooo yen, which was

43,000,000 yen to 81,000,000 yen, the grand total, therefore,
varying from 83,000,000 yen to 102,000,000 yen.

with the -war expenditures for the Army and the Navy. In
the war finance period, the regular expenditures fell to the
total of about 34,000,000 yen, including the ordinary expenditures of about 20,000,000 yen and the extraordinary expenditures of about 14,000,000 yen, while the war expenditures
reached sums ranging from i60,000,000 yen to 747,000,000
yen, the grand total rising to figures from 243,000,000 yen
to 780,000,000 yen. The pre-war Army and Navy expenditures totaled from 85,000,000 yen to 132,000,000 yen, comprising sums from 53,000,000 yen to 6o,ooo,ooo yen for ordi
