quite a number of craft are regularly built for sale to
other ports. There are 23 motor driven craft in this port;
and the tendency is to build the larger type of extra-port
joliboat and to equip it with a Bri ti sh Ho tor Sngine. This
Bias proved distinctly sjcf successful for cargo work between
this State and mainland Ports and I think such construction
will increase.
Rent of Government Lands. There is a marked decrease
in these collections due to the gift of a large number
of dategardens to members of thejjawasir tribe, who have
recently settled in Budaiya the rents on y/hich would
therefore cease.
General. This Port is mainly served, both for
* '
passengers and cargo by steamers; but it is satisiactory
to note that there does not seem to be any marked decrease
in the number of native craft using the port. Certain
adjustments of Customs regulations have assisted such ,
native craft merchants in their trading.
The port is mainly served by the Britisn India Steam
navigation Company, Ltd., whose steamers call here weekly
with the upmail, and fortnightly with the down mail. It
would be of assistance to merchants in their financial
transactions if the downnail called here weekly, and I
am of opinion that this is the busiest port in the Persian
Gulf.
The British Tanker Co. Ltd^ steamers call he^e
monthly to replenish stocks of A.P.O. Coy. Ltd*s oil, which
has a ready sale here in a large quantity.
Hansa line steamers call here bimonthly with general
European cargo.
The Strick Line Ltd's steamers call here irregularly,
generally about every three months with general cargo mainly
of British origin. I consider that fade between this
State
