Please see my letter Ho: 457 dated 23th i.eTrruary
1~»07 on the subject of House accoimuodation for
Vice Consul, .\hwaz.
I had ai> interview with Sheikh on 7th Jan
uary and he now offers modification of alternati
ve as follows.
ITo:l. Begins. He will allot site selected and
"build house nominally in his own name but actual
ly with money advanced by Government of India
and according to their designs and under the
superintendence of their Engineer. He will lease
the whole to the Government of India as long as
they require it.
jcor first 25 years rent will be 3 per centv
on cost half being paid and half devoted as long
as necessary to liquidation of cost. On expiry
of 25 years the rate of rent will be jointly
subject to reconsideration by both parties in its
relation to the increase or decrease which may
meanwhile have ta 1 ^en place in the value of house
property generally within the region and if a
/
modification is found necessary, future rent
will be fixed at a new rate to be settled/by the
two parties in agreement.
If Government of India can accept this
more reasonable arrangement I request that
English draft agreement in terms considered
suitable may be sent me.
