HKHOKAUDUM.
Reference your memorandum No. 113/9/2, dated the
23rd Ootobor i926, wj.th which woro encloocd two copioo
ol' the Bahrain State Budget Estimates for 1345, the
Hon'ble the political Resident has noticed that no
Estimates were submitted to thio ofl'ice for tho year
i344. He accordingly wishos that the actual figures for
that year should be summarised under the usual heads,

ana submitted to him, so that he may compare the figures
for the last 2 years.
2. Your attention is also invited to the fact that in
September last, when the Hon'ble the political Resident
was in Bahrain, Hr. Belgrave furnished him with a cash
statement for 1344 showing an opening balance of
Rb. 6,00,320 and a closing balance of Rs. 5,38,487.
3. Thooe figures differ materially from those shown as

the closing balance in the 1343 estimate, forwarded by
Major Daly with his memorandum No. 169/9/2, dated the,
11th July 1924, and as tho opening balance now shown for
1346.
4. It is understood that the former discrepancy is due
to an excess of Rupees two lakhs in the customs Receipts,
and to the faot that a balance of Rupeos throe lakhs in
Bombay was brought into account, but tho oooond discrep­
ancy in the opening balance for 1345 io not understood.
5. Your attention is also invited to the faot that

though tho income for tho year io only estimated at
Rb. 8,69,478, tho
expenditure totals Ro. 17,72,926.
