to pay for the running of the plant ana a meter was
eventually installed to check the amount of the current
supplied to the private part of the house. The P.A had
to pay Twelve Annas a unit for all current used by him.
I found this charge of Twelve Annas,which I think is very
high,siill in force when I came ana had to pay it until
we were able to connect it with the Bahrain Government

I enclose copies of corresponaence in which the
points were decided^in case they are of any use to you.
