ibdullah bin Isa and some others none of the owners
of the gardens from whom ground was taken demanded
any compensation for date trees or land. About 400
date trees were cut down but except in the case of
two wakf gardens no payments were made, the fences
however were rebuilt at the expense of the munici
pality. This road is the most used and most import
ant road in Bahrain and owing to its narrowness and
its many blind corners it had become very dangerous.
It was unsuited to much motor traffic and a particular
source of danger were the heavy lorries and tractors
used by the Bahrain Petroleum Company which travelled
up and down the road several times daily. The new
part of the road is now being levelled and the ditches
are being filled in.
Road work by the Bahrain Petroleum Co . During
the year the Bahrain Petroleum Co. have done a great
deal of useful work on the roads which they use and
owing to this the government has been saved considerable
expense in the upkeep of roads. A grader has been
used very effectively on the Manamah - Rafaa - Sakhir
road and a small portion of it has been raised to
prevent the usual flooding during the rains. The
Company constructed a new road, with an oiled surface,
from below tne Rafaa hill to their camp and on to
Al-xjnr. Al-Amr can now be reached from llanamah within
an hour, before the new road was made it took consider
ably longer.
Petrol Store. A petrol store was built at Suwefieh,
on the shore about one mile west of Manamah. The store
is 100 it x 80 feet, built of stone, cement, iron girders
