Sir,
T have the honour to forv/ard,herewith, for the information
and approval of the Hon^le the Political Resident, the Muscat btafete
Budget for the year 1927*
There are no very salient features in the "budget "but it is
an optimistic one. It allows for a general improvement in trade on
/
a modetate □aale and it is to he hoped that this will "be realized#.
The Sohar treasury has for the first time been incorporated
in Huso at accounts and it is to "be hoped that the closer sux^ervi—
-sion this affiords will have a beneficial effect#
It is also hoped that the "Al Saeed" will enable a larger
amount to "be realized from places like Sur where at present only a
proportion of the legitimate revenue is realized*
The finances of the Btate are on the whole in a satisfact-
-ory condition though they still require the closest supervision
and scrutiny on the part of the finance Minister•
T have the honour to "be,
Sir,
* , Your most obedient servant.
