presents to meet expenditure anticipated to meet cost of portrait of
His Majesty the King-Emperor just received for presentation to Sheikh
Mobarak. The cost of this will be Rs. 600 and incidental expenses such as
freight and packing possibly another Rs. 100. There will thus be a deficit
under this head of Rs. 250 if the bill is received during the current year.
Elags and stores. The balance appears large, but a set of signalling flags
have been received and will have to be paid for and a reserve must also he kept
for a lightning conductor estimated cost Rs. 216. It would therefore appear
that there will be a deficit of Rs. 66, but against this must be entered credit for
copper tape and nails received previously and returned to store undamaged.
Cost of articles was Rs. 185 including a Jacob’s ladder for the flagstaff.
Nothing can be expected under this heading unless the bills for signalling flags
and supply of the lightning conductor are greatly delayed.
Savings under feed of camels and tour charges will mean no more tours
this year, but as the camels have been carried off and their return is uncertain,
this saving seems probable.
