No, I of 1351
Office of the Adviser to
the Government, Eahrain,
Dated, Safar, 1351
--------Hi

From
The Financial Adviser to
the Government,
Bahrain,
Persian Gulf.

To

H. B. Kfs Political Agent,
Bahrain,

Sir,

I have the honour to forward for your informa­
tion the annual report on the Eahrain State for 1350

together with the Budget for 1351 and notes on Reve­
nue and Expenditure during 1350. This is the
seventh Budget which I have had the honour to sub­
mit.

Never in the last six years has there been so
little to report. Owing to the urgent need for

retrenchment the Government has carried out no new
works either in the nature of public buildings or
social services. In every direction the activity

of the Government has been restricted owing to
shortage of revenue.
Owing to my absence on leave in England for six

months during the Summer of 1350 some portions of
the report are not as detailed as I should have
liked them to be.

The following is a summary of the financial
results of the year 1350.
