3ir,
I havo tho honour to onoloue herewith four copies

of tiio 3tato Budget for 1305 which has now boon approvod
by Hio Highnooo. Owing to iny ubsonoe in iCnglund tho
budget wae lato in being proparod.
Kicviaru is •
The aotual rovonuo lant your vms 04 lakhs; in
tho budget for 1303 I Jiavo anticipated a rovonuo of

Io.35,45,000.
Lust yoar tho oil royalty amounted to 30£ lukhs
and ountoma revenue amountod to 24a lakhs, In the
now budget I havo uoaumod that tho output of oil
will bo tho uamo no in 1304 and that tho customs

will produce 20 lakhs.
Tho lessor nourooa of revenue appear to require
littlo explanation. Tho intorost from tho Rosorvo
Fund is shown ut about half what it should normally
produce, tho reason is that only one half-year's
dividend will bo reoeivod during 1305, tho dividend

for tho sooond half of 1940 io not due until « fow
days ufter the ond of tho Arabic your 1305.
