4. Expenditure, The Shumaliyah expenditure has not
been shown for the month under review but the proportionate
expenditure against this head is shown as Rs. 22,766, 7/e may
therefore allow( say) Rs. 2,850 for August which would bring
the total actuals up to Rs, 4,28,330 plus Rs, 17,822 plus
Rs. 2,850 Rs.4,49,062. As the proportionate allotment
to date, without the Government of India loan, is Rs.4,87,766
(i .e. Rs. 4,65,000 plus Rs. 22,766) a saving is shown in
actual expenditure over the proportionate allotment, of
Rs. 38,764. In this saving are included, however, various
outstanding debts as follows;
(a) Rs. 21,358 due to His Highness for undisbursed pay
from January to April 1931. During these months
the reduction of the sultanas alloviance from
Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 5,000 was under consideration.
His allowance was finally reduced to the latter
figure with effect from May. The
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
points out that this may not be claimed.
(b) Rs. 7,696 on account of palace rations from January
to April 1931. I do not know why this has not been
paid but presume the amount will have to be met.
(c) Rs. 8,088 due to the Royal Indian Marine on account
of coal for the State gunboat.
The total of these debts comes to Rs. 37,142 and if these
were added to the expenditure a total of Rs. 4,86,204,
would be obtained vhich is still Rs. 1 ,562 less than the
proportionate allotment.
5, For the Government of India loan(vide correspondence
ending with my letter No. 487-3» dated the 1st August 1931)
the Governaent of India have given a moratorium this year.
