The American missionaries carried out partial school and medical work in their schools in Khartoum, Omdurman, and Atbara, and at the mission station on the Sobat River. The Coptic mission achieved satisfactory and encouraging results from its schools in Khartoum, Omdurman, and Port Sudan. The first and second companies of the Survey Department progressed well.

- Survey They progressed satisfactorily in land surveying, and maps were drawn of the cultivated lands adjacent to the Nile in the four provinces north of Khartoum. During the year, half a million feddans were surveyed in Gezira and on the banks of the White Nile. It is hoped that by the end of the current year, the survey of all lands covered by the irrigation project will be completed for consideration. However, the work will extend beyond this limit to settle old disputes and in anticipation of any expansion of the irrigation project. The investigation conducted by Captain Pearson, Director of Survey in the Gadarif district last year, regarding the collection of the 'ushr (tithe) and the loss of revenue due to inaccurate surveying, revealed that the loss was not as large as previously thought. The country's maps were revised to assist inspectors at the time of imposing the 'ushr, and a decision was made to send some surveyors to the province in addition to those already there when the time comes for submitting proposals.

The city of Omdurman was also surveyed, and it was found to have 13,000 houses. It is estimated that 3,000 of them were rebuilt in the last three years at a cost of... EGP. The new houses follow a specific system in terms of streets and alleys. The demarcation of these roads and the distribution of building plots are the responsibility of Mr. Boys Pasha, the city's governor, and his assistants. It is gratifying to note the fortification of the mud brick in the form of new houses and the strong desire of the residents to demolish their old structures and build on plots facing the streets.
