No. XXXII.
Translation of the Jask Agreement of 1887.
With regard to the boundaries of the Telegraph establishment at Jask, in
accordance with the information received by the Persian Government and the
British Legation, it has been decided as follows under date of the month of Jem-
madee A. II. 1304 (February 25th, 1887).
That the Telegraph establishment, which is situated at a distance of 300 yards
from the point, take possession of 600 yards more to the north of the Telegraph
establishment, i.e., 400 yards from the present boundary fence, between which
and the Telegraph establishment is a distance of 200 yards, making a total from
the end of promontory to the limits of 900 yards ; at the end of these 900 yards
a wire boundary will be drawn and the government of Jask shall have no right
whatsoever on any account whatever to interfere in the interior of those
limits.
As the Telegraph establishment well is about 1,000 yards distant from the
boundary agreed upon, it is decided that the road and water-way from the well
to the place where they meet the limits be protected, and no one shall build upon,
destroy, or interfere with them ; and for the preservation of the well itself it is
agreed to set aside a space around the well to be walled in at a distance all round
of 100 yards from the well.
The customs and other buildings of the Persian Government agent must be
without the limits above agreed upon and be built on the place agreed upon between
Mr. Flinch and the Malek-i-Tajjar. It is agreed that the Telegraph officials
and their true, positive, and salaried servants be exempted from customs
dues.
It is agreed that stores for provisions and the necessaries of existence which
are brought from the interior for the Telegraph establishment, such as rice, ghee,
wood, etc., and such like be exempt from taxation.
It is agreed that if any of the dependents of Jask, other than the true,
positive, and salaried servants of the Telegraph establishment, in order to
take sanctuary or protection penetrate within the limits, the Telegraph
officials shall have no right to protect them ; on the contrary, they should
place them without their boundary and hand them over to the government of
Jask.
Any merchant, native or foreign, who may have shops within the limits must
pay the usual customs dues on that which he imports in order to trade, buy, or
Sell.
