that Khan Bahadur Abdul Haiy al-Hashimy is the
only tenant from whom house tax prior to the
municipal resolution of 22nd Safar 1351 is
recoverable. Khan Bahadur apparently did not
pay this because he thought he was exempt from
house tax. I had referred to this question
ftxp Pvt* in my D.O. No- 1024/8 dated 6 th March 1935.

J 4. With reference to paragraph 8 . Tile
notice of the municipality, (No- 16/54 of
Rabialthany 1354) relates to an alteration in
the rate of house tax. The resolution making
house tax recoverable from tenants was passed
on 12th Safar 1352. The Agency did not agree
to this resolution being applied to foreigners
at first but at a meeting arranged later between
the Political Agent and the President of the
Manamah municipality on 18th July 1935, at which
I was present, the Political Agent agreed to
house tax being collected from tenants. Notes
of this neeting were forwarded to me with Captain
A.Cole's D.O. No. 228-P/2 dated 18th July 1935.
5 . If tax is going to be paid only from
29th Rabialthany 1354, it becomes a question of
only four months as the list forwarded with my
|C?memorandum No- 861/8 dated 19th November 1935,
contains only arrears until the end of Shaban 1354.
It is presumed that the Baladiya tax for the
following months is to be recovered direct from
the employees. A confirmation is requested.
