are:-
(a) £2500 being half the sum to be contributed towards
the total cost of the work by the British and Indian
Exche que r s j ointly.
(b) £150 per annum being half the suit to be contributed
towacds the cost of the maintenance of the lines by the
Britiei and Indian Exchequers jointly, commencing with the
year 1915 and ending with the year 1944.
(c) £9030, approximately, being half the amount of a
loan to Persia to complete the work after £5000 or twice (a)
has been expended to be contributed in equal shares by the
British and Indian Exchequers.
The exact amoujit of this loan will not be known until
the accounts have been compiled, i.e., in about two years’
time, the work of reconstruction having only recently been
commenced^ the interval since the agreement with Persia was
signed has been occupied in providing the material for the
work.
It follows that the payments of (a) and one instalment
of (b) for the year 1913 are now due but the payment of (c)
can be deferred till some time in 1916, the Indian Exchequer
meanwhile providing the funds for carrying out the work.
