“Craft Licenses. Shew an increase of te. 220 /-. The
boatbuilding industry is steadily progressing, and the
tendency during the past year lias been towards larger
Bahrain-built joliboats equipped with British Kelvin
engines varying from 25 to 60 horsepower. These craft are
engaged in cargo work with the mainland, and also tawwasha
work witii the pearling fleets. Trips in such craft have
been made from Bahrain to Kuwait and return, to Bushire
and return, and to Dubai and return. I believe there is a
great future for the Bahrain-built craft equipped with a
motor engine, but I would prefer to see such craft also
equipped with a sail.

have been collected during the past six months only. The
Customs collects the Baladia Surtax on behalf of the
' Municipality of Manamah, but receives no payment for this
wo rk.
"Generally, I think the steadiness of the above receipts
shews that the prosperity of the State of Bahrain is main
tained, consequent on a reasonably good pearling season m

community are good”.
