Reference your memorandum No.787-36/28 dated 17th
April, 1943, I consider that the following vehicles are
rmcessary for use during 1943:-
For H.H. The Ruler
For G-overnment of
Bahrain
For Manama Munici

purposes.
2. In this connection it might be pointed out to the
authorities that the Public Works Department of the Bahrain
Government is almost entirely employed on carrying out
military work and has been doing this all through the last
year.
3. The Medical Department also is doing v/ork for the
forces especially in connection with anti-malaria measures
which entail carrying anti-malaria staff to distant part's
of the island and distributing oil etc., in places 'where
mosquitoes are breeding. The pick-up previously used for
this purpose has now ceased to function owing to age.
4. There are now 34 buses on the roads. This number
should be sufficient for local needs during 1943. There
is not at present a serious shortage of buses but there
is a shortage of spare parts to keep them going. If spares
are not forthcoming it will become necessary to cannibalise
some of the existing vehicles in eider to feed the others.
5. There are 14 "taxi” lorries in Bahrain and 5 private
lorries now in use. This should be sufficient for 1943
