The Budget. The ordinary army budget, which was about 6
million kr. before the alteration in the organisation in 1887, has
risen, as this has gradually been carried out and improved, to an
average of 9 million kr. in the nineties. The last budget was
11.6 million kr. This figure amounts to 5.5 kr. per head, just
the half of what it is in Great Britain and Germany: [[** sic ser det ut til = ;?]] in France
it is 14 kr. At the same time as this has been going on in the
ordinary budget, about 26 million kr. has been voted, between 1892
and 1899, for fortifications, arms, and suitable equipment. Even
if this extraordinary budget be included, the average expenses after
1892, when the restoration of defences was begun with special
energy, were no higher than 6 kr. pr. head, and thus less than
the European average, which is more than 7 kr.
