Interest on Reserve.
The amount shown in the estimate for 1361 included the
interest duo on the reserve and the interest for six ninths
(second half of 1361) on Rs. 9,80,000/- which I had anticipated

would be added to the reserve in 1361. It was not possible
to invest this amount during 1361 owing to the stuto having to
purchase foodstuffs. In 1362 the interest due Cn tho existing
reserve was shown in the budget.

Other Receipts and Taxes.
In 1360 no revenue was expected from "Medical Receipts".
In 1361 I assumed that this source of revenue would produco
Rs.5,000/-, twice this amount was obtained, In 1362 I have
anticipated an Income of {Is. 55,000/- from hospital fees, the
greater proportion being on account of service in-patients who

occupy the two service wards in tho State hospital, Bridge
tolls were not included in the 1360 budget, In 1361 I assumed
that Rs.30,000/- v/ould bo forthcoming from this source, and a
similar sum in 1362. The variations in estimates of tho other
sources of revenue such as Court foes, Passport Receipts, Rents
etc. are not considerable. A sum of Rs. 13,000/- was Included in
the 1362 Budget under Bales of Lands, Negotiations were
f proceeding for the sale of a piece of land to the Royal Air^'Force
and I aasumed that this sum would be forthcoming.
The total anticipated revenue for the three years was,

1360, Rs.35,64,000j 1361,Rs.37,00,000/t and 1362,Rs.36,57,000/-
