Bahrain.
Sir,
I have the honour to forward herewith the
new Budget for the year 1346 together with the annual
returns and explanatory notes showing particulars of
revenue and expenditure for 1345.
The Budget. 1346 . The Budget is, as usual,
on an extremely conservative hasis. The receipts are
estimated low and the expenditure is estimated high.
Last year a revenue of 2s 7,50,000/- was estimated for
Customs Receipts which actually amounted to Hs 9,6^,051/
.
therefore for the new year I have estimated Customs
Receipts at Rs 8,50,000/-. Last year was admittedly
a very poor year owing to a bad pearl season. ihis
year the pearl season is, so far, better than it has
"been for the last three years. it can be safely
expected that trade will improve to a corresponding
extent. At th* the same time a margin of one
lakh
One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
,
as against lastpyea^s actuals, has been allowed
in the estimated revenue to cover any unforseen
falling off.
