per annum.
During Shaikh Isa f s rejime members of the Khalifah
family levied indiscriminate taxes on these traps
which were adjacent to territory over which they
held feudal rights. Independent taxation was
abolished when Shaikh Hamad became Ruler and the
Civil List was instituted. It has been found that
since then a number of people, particularly the
Bin Ali Arabs of Hedd built fish traps in the sea
with no right. To preserve the rights of the Covern—
ment along the foreshore and the sea a proclamation
was issued ordering all owners of xish traps to register
them in the Land Department and to pay a registration
fee of Rs l/~ per annum. The registration is no proof
of ownership but will enable the Government in the
future to examine the whole question. So far about
750 applications for registration have been received.
In many cases the owners hold no documents for
the fish traps, they will be required to prove their
ownership by right of long tenure; others are in
possession of documents for one or two traps but have
erected more than the number specified on their docu
ments, in such cases the ownership of the additional
traps is not admitted by Government.
