object in anyone coming out now as the school term had. not
much longer to run. The disadvantage of a large number of
boys being educated in ilgypt was discussed and this point
is still under consideration. I said that it was essential
that the technical school must be run by BA^GC and urged
that an early opportunity be taicen to include this obligation
in the Concession. Colonel Galloway said tnat this matter
was before the Directors of the Company and it was agreed
that they should be pressed to undertake this function.
5. CUSTOM 3 .
I inquired the financial powers of the Director
and Mr. Belgrave explained that he was empowered to spend
any sums included in his budget. I inquired whether
there was any plan of reorganisation of the pier or the
possibility of having a bonded warehouse. Mr. Belgrave
replied that there was a proposal to fill in the dock
between the existing pier and the Kanoo Building but said
that the question of having bonded warehouse had not been
considered. I drew attention to the fact that Ras Tanura
was now being put on the slow mail run and said that I
feared this would divert a good deal of trade from Bahrain
which could probatoly be retained if a bonded warehouse
system was introduced as merchants would then be able to
make this a centre for the whole Gulf and have a much wider
scope open to them. Mr. Belgrave inquired whether they
would not be wiser to take the money while they could get
it. I pointed out that the State did not require the
money and that the time to prevent Ras Tanura developing
was now as once trade links were forged they were very
persistent. It was agreed that the position would be
investigated.
6. JUDICI a'L .
, I inquired from Mr. Belgrave what progress he
was making in codifying the regulations and publi&ing
thereof, a task I suggested should be undertaken 15 years
