The material works undertaken by the department, in its various branches, are very extensive. What has been mentioned above is limited to the financial increases and expansions that are currently underway and for which great effort is being made. If it is possible to protect people from the ravages of diseases and eradicate them from the Egyptian province, if it is possible.

The pressure on the country's financial resources intensified due to the reduction in government revenues resulting from the reduction of taxes on agricultural lands that were not reached by water in Upper Egypt, and the increase in expenditures necessitated by the irrigation of the Nile.

The railway line connecting Al-Hadibiya to Balgh, costing 370,000 pounds, indicates that the financial situation undoubtedly requires an increase in revenue sources so that, even if the flood is low, the country can maintain the progress and success it has achieved so far. The project has been completed by increasing the customs duty on imported heaters, an increase that will boost government revenues without burdening taxpayers.

Furthermore, administrative expenses have been reduced in every possible way. As for the irrigation of the Nile, it is not without concern, but it is calculated that it will be sufficient, with the help of the water stored in the Aswan Dam, to irrigate cotton cultivation in 1914. The omens are good, as the year began with a rare flood season. The report will show how the budget has been constructed, which has been slightly changed from previous years. It is hoped that the adverse conditions previously mentioned will not have a lasting and significant impact on the country's wealth and success.
