A d also an excess of expenditure in 1881-82 over that of

The area of leased land on the Elphinstone and Mody Bay Elphinstone
rose from 78,869 square yards in 1880-81 to 115,399 andModyBay
Square yards in 1881-82, and the rent from Es. 69,267 to Estates ‘
Es. 96,441.
A proposal was made in March 1882 to provide, at the cost
of the Trust, an additional footbridge over the G. I. P. Eailway
about halfway between the Masjid and Elphinstone Bridges,
where it is very much wanted, and the necessary arrangements
have since been made. This bridge will probably make the
Trustees’ land thereabouts still more sought after.
A large income, Es. 73,450, was again obtained from the rent
charged for storage of coal, the quantity imported in 1881-82
having been even greater than in 1880-81. To this is greatly
due the increase in the receipts for temporary ground rents
on the Elphinstone Estate from Es. 1,09,757 in 1880-81 to
Es. 1,44,400 in 1881-82.
There has again been a large increase in the revenue from the
ground and buildings on the Elphinstone and Mody Bay Estates,

The charge for space in the Eyan Grain Market had previously
been per bag stowed ; but, this proving an unsatisfactory arrange
ment, it was changed to a charge for the area occupied.
The revenue at the Custom House Bandar was in 1881-82
Es. 1,01,946 against Es. 1,50,802, being less by Es. 48,856.
This was chiefly owing to the very great diversion of tramc,
including that of the P. & O. Company, to the Prince’s Dock.
The imports of sugar amounted to 33,618 tons against 4o,CL6
tons in 1880-81, being less by 11,408 tons; but the quantity
imported in 1880-81 was quite unusual.
. The exports of opium were 22,166 chests only, against 34,208
^ 1880-81, being less by 12,042 chests. The landing and smp-
P 1G g rates were reduced from Es. 1-6 to Es. 1-4 per chest.
