45. Matters were allowed to slide on in this manner until in j uile
^ uutii in June IQA*
the question was brought to the front again by the British Poreign Office
forwarded a statement of claims submitted by Messrs. Lynch Brothers *
This statement included a calculation of claims on account of
incurred in painting and repairing the bridges ic 1902, 1903, and
which only a small portion has been recovered. Messrs. Lynch Broth
renewed the claim for the extra £3,000, and 12 per cent interest on arrears^ 8
The whole matter was discussed by His Majesty's Minister with H*
Britannic Majesty's Vice-Consul during the visit of the latter to Tehran in j i
1907, and it was decided to press the claims after they have been brought
conformity with the rulings of His Majesty's Secretaries for Poreign ^Afp 10
The claims so revised^ up to 3rd March 1907 amounted to Krans 29,47^0
on account of construction and Krans 18,476*36 on account of bridee rei a
and these were presented to the Khans at Shalamzar by the Vice-Consul in th'
end of September. 0
The Khans eventually accepted the former claim and promised to pav if
without delay. The latter claim they entirely repudiated, no doubt partlv
owing to the unfortunate fact that the 1904 bill had never previously been
presented to them. It amounted to nearly Krans 15,000 or about four times
more than either of the previous bills, and apparently on these grounds Hi
Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Ispahan, Mr. Preece, had without
enquiry declined to present it and the matter had been allowed to rest at this
On examination now, however, there seemed to be no ground for believing that
full value had not been given for the sum claimed, and hence it was presented.
The Khans put forward various arguments which were not considered
valid and finally declared their repudiation of it with some asperity.
Minor claims were presented at the same time on a claim for a case of
opium robbed on the road in autumn 1906 and another for robbery on the
road perpetrated in August of the current year.
The former of these they promised to satisfy, but the latter they repudiated
on the grounds that the robbery had been done by Kubgalu whom thev
were not allowed to pursue. ^
55. So much for the Khans' statements, now for tbeir performance.
The construction account claims have remained unpaid with the exception
of Krans 12,46514 out of the Pebruary oil instalment, which they requested
should be paid over to Messrs. Lynch Brothers.
_ The bridge repair claims have remained unsatisfied, but a subsequent
chum under this head for repairs effected in September 1907 amounting to
Krans 4,477 was paid in full in March. 8

procrastination.

the capital fall due on 3rd March of each year.
Notice of the_ new instalment falling due was sent to the Khans in
e ruary 1908, and an exact statement of their entire indebtedness in regard
to tne construction and bridge repair accounts on 3rd March 1908 was sent to
• e J n , 8 or y a fter that date, and it is hoped that this practice mav be followed
