rice, half of which was sold during tho yoar. The

1358 it may be regarded as an item of revenue for
1359 and has been shown in tho estimated revenue for
that year.
The expenditure on public protection was appro­
ximately Rs 41,000/- more than the estimated oost. The
oil royalty amounted to more than the anticipated sum
and therefore the one third whioh was paid to His
Highness’s Privy Purse was moro thun was provided in
the 1358 budget.
In spite of heavy unexpected expenditure the
Resorve lrund was increased by Rs 10,00,000/-.
