No. -sa-'va. /o.f. of 1353
Office of the adviser to
the Government, Bahrain.
Dated, Hajab, 26, 1353
Hovember 4, 1934
From
The Adviser to the Government of Bahrain,
Bahrain.
To
His Britannic Majesty's
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
,
Bahrain.
Sir,
I have the honour to forward a statement
of revenue and expenditure for the first half
of the current year which ended on 29th J Thany
1353, corresponding to the 9th October 1934.
2. Apart fro a payments received from
the Bahrain Petroleum Company the revenue is
almost the same as that of the first half of
the previous year. The actual revenue for
the period under review amounts to more than
half the total revenue estimated in the Budget
for the whole year 1353 by s 54,665/-, but as
this includes certain receipts sucn as pearling
licenses which are pi id at the beginning of the
diving season, it cannot be presumed that the
second half of the year will be equally pro
ductive.
