Happily no fresh liabilities have been incurred during the year.
46. It will be remembered that examination of this bridge in September
Repair of the Godar Bridge. 190 J 7 f TCaled that Serious Cracks had
made their appearance m the masonrv
of the piers. Nothing further was heard until the Company in March 1908
addressed the Foreign Office on the subject stating that it was necessary to
affix some iron bands and asking that the necessary nesrotiations with
Khans should be carried through. ^ & w ine
Under instructions from His Majesty's Legation, His Majesty's Consul
entered into correspondence with the Khans on the subject. Eventually the
latter agreed to pay a definite sum of 1,000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
for the repairs, a sum
which was in excess of a rough estimate supplied by the Company's agent at
Ahwaz. This offer was refused by the Company when the Foreign Office
informed them that they could not see their way to pressing the Khans further
in the matter.
It has since come to light that the Company after taking expert advice
had entirely altered their scheme of repairs, and discovered the necessity
for a greater expenditure than had originally been contemplated It also
became evident from the opinion of the expert that the defects in the bridge
had arisen from an unsuitability in its design. Under these circumstances
it appears questionable whether the Bakhtiari Khans are chargeable with
the expense of the repairs, which are in fact structural alterations, now
considered necessary.
The matter is still under reference.
47. It was stated to the Consul by Haji Khasrau Khan that his brother
Messrs. Lynch Brothers. ^ Ali Kuli Khan, who has been in
. Europe during the past two years, had
tins year obtained a loan of £1,000 at 6 or 8 per cent, from Messrs. Lynch
Brothers. J
48. At the same time Haji Khasrau Khan stated that he was himself
desirous of obtaining a loan from Messrs. Lynch Brothers of 50,000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
,
as security for which he was prepared to allocate his shares in the road and
in the Oil Syndicate, or to undertake to deliver consignments of produce in
the villages he owns in the Dizful district.
As the expediency of making loans to the Bakhtiaris is dubious in any
circumstances, and in the present case the security was either insufficient or
uncertain no particular encouragement was offered to Haji Khasrau and he
was advised to enter into communication with Messrs. Lynch Brothers' Agent
at Tehran on his return there.
49. Later, apparently in the month of November, Muhammad Jawad
Khan (eldest son of Isfandiar Khan) proposed to Messrs. Lynch Brothers,
through their Ispahan Agent, to sell them his share, which is 1/6, in the
road tolls. Here again as the realisation of the share of the tolls would be
dinicult, if not impossible, and it is questionable whether under the terms of
their concession it is permissible for the Khans to dispose of their interest
in the road to Europeans, it is unlikely that the matter will ever come up in
a definite form.
