38 COLONIAL REPORTS—MISCELLANEOUS. REVIEW OF THE TAXATION OF EACH PROVINCE. SOKOTO. Native Rulers and Communities. The Serikin Muslamin takes three-fourths of the general tax, hut shares the Jangali equally with Government. The other “ Principal Chiefs ” in this province are the Emir of Gando and the Chief of Argungu. There are no unsettled or independent districts. Administrative Organization. The province of Sokoto contains three Emirates, and is divided into five administrative divisions, viz.:—(1) Sokoto proper and (2) Zamfara, both in the Sokoto Emirate ; (3) Ambrusa (Gando) and (4) Jegga, both in the Gando Emirate; and finally (5) Argungu. The first and second divisions contain 47 districts under headmen, together with 400 independent towns which pay direct. The third and fourth contain 35 districts and 41 independent towns. The fifth (Argungu) has four districts. In all about 2,185 towns have been assessed. All district head men reside in their districts, but the Council of six reside in Sokoto and still exercise some territorial jurisdiction. The amount of the revenue which district heads pay to the village heads out of the share assigned to them has not yet been de finitely fixed in every case. Consolidation of Districts, It has been found impossible to make the districts under headmen self-contained as yet, but much progress has been made, especially in Zamfara, where towns have been transferred so as to bring them under the territorial authority of the headmen without difficulty. Some progress has also been made in Gando. The independent towns named in the last paragraph will gradually be brought under the headmen of the district in which they are situated, and the members of the Sultan’s Council will gradually become divested of jurisdiction over distant towns, and will be salaried officials with estates belong ing to the office they hold. At present they exercise territorial jurisdiction, though residing at the capital.
