The subsidy allotted to the chief of Gaih was Rs. 3,000 a year, and the
region for which he was responsible was described as ext ending from
Chahbarto Sadaich. The chiefs of Dashtyari and Bahu, who were
included in one Agreement, received Rs. 1,000 a year each, and the extent
of their responsibility was from Chahbar to the Kalat frontier. The
subsidies were made payable from the 1st January 1869 in half-yearly
instalments. Similar arrangements were concluded with the chiefs of
Jashk, but the allowances given them were smaller.t

as to the proper recipients of the telegraph subsidies. Thus in 1881,
when Mir Din Muhammad was driven out of Dashtyari, and in the
following year, when Mir Muhammad Ali unwillingly resigned
charge of Bahu, claims were advanced by the usurpers of their places to
the subsidies which the rightful chiefs had enjoyed. It would seem
that these claims were coldly received, and it does not appear that the
subsidies were ever paid to any but the two chiefs mentioned, who
before long recovered the hereditary positions from which they had been
ousted.
