Copy of Memorandum No.2234-22 dated the
20th of September, 1947, from the Acting Adviser
to the Government of Bahrain, to the political
Agent, Bahrain.
I wish to inform you that His Highness
Shaikh Sulman has xax ordered an increase of the
existing dearness allowances in the salaries of
all Bahrain Government employees from 25^, 15^ and
1-^t to 50^ to those drawing salaries under Rs.300/-,
30t on all salaries under Rs. 1,000/- and 15t on all
salaries above Rs.1,000/- respectively. He has also
ordered a 20,t increase on the present rate of 30^
on the Civil List salaries and a raise in the wages
of labour employed by the P.W.D. and other Government
departments.
^ The total cost to the Government of this raise
without the labour wages will be around Rs. 5,50,000/-
per year. This does not include the Electricity
Department and the Food Control Department because
these departments pay their own revenue so the amount
involved by the raise in dearness allowances will be
met from the revenue of two departments.
The order has been put into effect and the
increase will be paid from first of the Current
Arabic month.
I should appreciate your formal approval, in
due course.

Of note are folios 41 and 42, on which financial details from 1943/44 have been printed on the reverse of two unrelated posters - presumably due to a paper shortage during war time.
