u
4 ° i!4n.Linufn royalty, in your letter of 15th February
pxr..- 19.34, P.D.21 part 7, you suggested the possibility of
j/^x minlmuiH annual payments on the basis of, say, Rs.30,000
for the first two years, Rs.60,000 for the next three
years, ana Rs.100,000 thereafter. As the record of
various conversations will have shown, this has been
consistently pressed on the Company, ihe offer now put
forward by Ballantyne falls snort of that figure. But I
am on the whole disposea to think that it is not a bad
one. it represents at its maximum more than double the
existing minimum royalty of Ss. 30,000, and in the interim
an increase of Rs.20,000 per annum on that minimum royalty.
While a maximum figure of 1
lakh
One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
would have safeguarded the
Sheikh more effectively, I am on the whole disposed to
think that subject to any comments the Gulf may have to
offer we should agree to Ballantyne's present figure
v .itn the moaification that the rate of Rs.75,000 should
commence from the fifth year. Here, as in tne case of
local refining, we are in a position of real difficulty,
because we have very little l^erage on the Company, we
are, it is true, making certain concessions to them, and
in particular as regards Article XI of the revised Mining
Lease/
