loan from the Bahrain Govt, for installation
of electric supply in Muharraq. The expenditure
for 1351 includes payment of an instalment, Rs 7,77l/-
due to the Government from the account loaned for
electric extension.
Very little new work of importance, apart from
the usual activities of the municipality such as
street lighting, cleaning, repairs to roads etc.
has been carried out during the year.
Several streets in the bazaar were re-roofei,
the pier was resurfaced and some roads were widened
and awkward corners were removed. The style of
building in Muharraq town is not conducive to
or
road widening as most of the houses are two three
storied and the greater proportion of them are
built of stone. The town is congested, surrounded
on three sides by the sea, and as there has never
been any room for expansion the tendency in the
past has been to reduce the width of the streets in
order to make more room for houses. There are no
maidans or open spaces in Muharraq town and it is
partly for this reason that the heat in the summer
becomes so excessive that many of the Muharraq
people migrate to Manamah during the hot weather.
A great improvement has been effected by the
filling in of one end of the creek at the Muharraq
