He has always been very efficient and reliable and hie
services at the present time, owing to his thorough knowledge
of shipping work and his skill in handling men, are of great
value. His promotion to the rank of Pro Consul would give
him greater authority in dealing with both masters and seamen
and would add considerably to his dignity among the Indians.

As regards office messengers, the former establishment
was one of I.D. *±6 per annum. One has been found to be
quite insufficient and the second clerk has frequently had
to do this work himself with consequent lose of efficiency.
When the fence now being erected along the waterfront is

Napier proposes and Mr. Gardener agrees, that two farrashes

in accordance with local practice In Iran.
The former provision for sundries was I.D. ,

in the new budget to this account, as postal and telegraph
charges will presumably be met by the Foreign Office in the
me
normal way and no budgeting for them is necessary. ,
