- Title:
- Coll 1/55 'Aden. Water and drainage schemes: loan by the Aden Port Trust to the Aden Settlement'
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains two sets of papers. The first set, dated 1934, concerns arrangements for the Aden Settlement to receive a loan of 3 lakhs of rupees from the Aden Port Trust. The loan was intended to repay a previous Government loan, obtained to fund water and drainage schemes in Aden. This material consists of minutes of the Aden Port Trust, and correspondence between the Chairman of the Aden Settlement, the Aden Chief Commissioner, and the Government of India Department of Commerce.
The second set of papers, dated 1936, consist of correspondence between Dorothy Newport-Ridley and Richard Austin Butler MP. Ridley informs Butler of her visit to Aden in April 1936, and enquires into the use of the water supply for irrigation and drinking purposes. The papers include Butler's response to the enquiry, and correspondence with the Aden Resident.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the end of the correspondence (folio 1).
