--- 100 ---This is because the plan drawn up in 1907 for the construction of railway lines, and the government is now considering the construction of a line connecting Port Sudan to Suki and Kordofan and Sennar. The Sirdar has once again drawn attention to the valuable work done by Captain Mudather, Director of Railways, and his staff.

7 - Navigation on the Nile Revenue from all transport sectors increased, except in Khartoum, where a shortage was observed due to the railway line and the suspension of the Blue Nile ferry during the bridge construction. The revenue from Dar al-San'a in 1910 far exceeded the average due to the many special government projects that year. Navigation between Khartoum and the Upper Nile, and between Juba and Rejaf, was facilitated by the removal of rocks that posed a danger to ships. Good progress was made in the construction of the dockyard, workshops, and other facilities in Kawa, which will alleviate the difficulties they encountered by being forced to leave the old sites due to the Aswan Dam.

8 - Roads and Wells Lack of funds prevented the commencement of a major road construction project. Most of the funds allocated to this item were used for a comprehensive well-digging project. Commendable work was done in this regard in the Kaka and East Sudan provinces. A project for digging and maintaining wells was drawn up for Kordofan province and will commence in 1912. The total length of new roads constructed in the provinces during the year reached 1050 miles, and 108 new wells were dug. It is clear that as the scope of administration expands and the railway extends, the need for improved internal transportation increases. The construction and maintenance of roads in many parts of Sudan is inexpensive, but providing the necessary water requires considerable funds, effort, and skill.
