Revenue. It may be noted that Shumaliyah revenue for August
is not yet to hand, but Rs. 2000/- (approximately) is expected
which will bring total Shumaliyah collections upto Rs. 20,000/-
to date, thus total actuals for 3 months will reach Rs.4,63,813
or about t a lac One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees behind the proportionate figure.
This is in order as the last three months of the year
always show heavier receipts.
In this connection I thinx the proportionate figures are
of no assistance in estimating whether the budget will be
realized or not, with your permission I will ask the Council
to substitute, in future, the actuals of last years collections.
It is not known yet what will be the effect of the drop in
prices of dates, to guard against a drop in revenue however
I have again impressed on the Council the need of strictest
economy.
EXPENDITURE. Total actuals for 8 months plus Shumaliyah
expenditure, not yet received, should equal about 4j* lacs One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees * this
