But in accordance with the general policy cf cutting down expenditures, these figures have come recently under a closer scrutiny, with the result that it was found that they included all sorts of odd perquisites, such as the value of cast-off royal and princely clothing, footwear and bedding. the free use of court carriages and flunkeys, free theater seats, free medical treatment, table and wine moncy, Christmas and New Year gifts and fips for showing visitors around.
