the duties on Intoxicating Liquors which were estimated to
bring in six lakhs or according to the spokesman of the
Unofficial Members in the debate on the introduction of the
Liquor Bill "something over a million" have only produced
about 34 lakhs, which after deduction of the cost of collect-

nett. I am therefore at present unable to recommend an
addition to the permanent charges which is not absolutely and
unavoidably necessary.
I have the honour to be.

humble servant,
