season, their places being filled temporarily,

of the ^Municipalities, Manama and Muharrak is Es. 2000/-
per month. In addition to this they share half the total
receipts from vehicle licenses and the proceeds of the
2% tobacco tax is divided between them. The Manama
Municipality ended the year with a credit balance of
fis. 149000/- and the Maharaq Baladya which has been in
existence for about two years showed a credit balance of
Es* 37844/-. A reduction in the grants to Municipalities
is being considered, this would most likely consist of
cancelling the tobacco tax.
8. Medica l. This item includes the State’s contribu
tion to the pay of Dr. Holmes, the Medical Officer, pay
of the Assistant Medical Officer in Maharak and Maharak
dispensary, pay and upkeep of hospital boat and pay of
the quarantine staff.
There is an increase in expenditure of
Es. 2700/-over last year. This is accounted for by
salaries of a male and female vaccinator for six months
during a smallpox epidemic and cost of weekly supplies
of fresh vaccine. The public were vaccinated free. In
this connection 1 would remark that most of those who
availed themselves of the vaccination were foreigners,
the local population having a prejudice against vac-
cination.
The Government has lately been requested by
the people of Maharak to provide a government midwife
for work in Maharak and also to arrange for a permanent
Doctor in the town. Previously the Assistant Surgeon
went out in the Hospital Ship during the-diving season.
A temporary doctor has now been appointed to the Hospital
ship and the Assistant Surgeon remains permanently in
Maharak.
