26 The receipts represent a charge of three piesa maund,
27 which is paid by purchasers of salt under the through traffic
28 system to meet the cost of filling, loading and clearing their
29 goods by departmental agency; and the charges show the
30 expenditure incurred in the performance of this work. ©
31 The: receipts of the year exceed those of 1896-97 by
32 Rs, 8,509, the quantity of salt dealt with during the year under
33 review having been larger by maunds 5,44,227.
34 The charges of the year showa decrease of Rs, 14,556,
35 compared with 1896-97. The expenditure of the latter year
36 was, as the account shows, abnormally swelled by the cost of
37 the construction of a shed at the Sambhar railway station for
38 the storage of bags belonging to traders in through traffic salt.
39 The erection of this shed was not only necessary in view of
40 the large business done and for the protection of the many
41 thousands of bags consigned to us by traders ; but, as a refer-
42 ence to the table will show, its construction resulted in a saving
43 of Rs. 660 during the year, compared with 1896-97, on account
44 of godown.rent. ‘
