Notes on budget. 1351.

Expenditure..

Allowances to the Ruling family. Rs 4,32,000/- .

This amount is larger than the sum allocated for last
year because a.ter the 1350 budget was completed and
approved certain modifications were made during my

absence on leave which affected the l0j£ reduction in
the Civil List and increased the amount.
The Civil List does not include payments to the

Ruling Family on account of special services such as
^rnirs, Magistrates etc, these are shown under the
appropriate headings.
The Civil List for year 1351 is more than 50^ of

the total estimated revenue, The following figures
show the proportion of the Civil List as compared to

revenue during recent years, and also show the various
falling off in revenue.

State Protection. Rs 1.21.900/-. A reduction of
Bs 10,000/- only on last year’s estimates hes been achieved
by various economies including the abolition of the post
of Commandant of Police and the coming substitution of

local police for Indians, The saving is small as the
economies will not become effective until after the middle

of the year and in the meantime allowance has to be made
for additionel local .police who are being trained preparatory
