foreign Office,
S.f.l.
28th May,1931.
Sir,
With reference to your letter E 6784/2 of the 10th May
1930 regarding the office allowance of His Majesty’s Consul at
Tabriz, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Henderson to enclose here
with a statement prepared in this department showing Mr. Consul
Palmer’s requirements for the current year.
2. Mr. Palmer’s recommendations in respect of salaries
have not been included in this statement as they are the subject
of correspondence with His Majesty’s Legation at Tehran, and
further proposals on this subject will be made in due course.
3. The increase in the item Taxes is inevitable under the
terms of the lease of the Consular premises, and Mr. Palmer
has been unable to avoid an addition to the charge for water.
The increase in gratuities is due to the engagement of the extra '
clerk typist, and in uniforms to the increased cost of material.
4. The actual expenditure on sundries for the past twelve
months was one thousand, three hundred and thirty eight krans,
and this item is likely to increase with the fall in the purchasing
power of the Kran.
5. I am therefore to request that the Lords Commissioners
of His Majesty’s Treasury may be moved to sanction the assignment
of an allowance of two hundred dollars and forty four thousand,
six hundred and forty Krans per annum as from the 1st April subject
to such alterations in respect of salaries as may eventually be /
submitted for approval.
I am, etc. ,
(Sd.) Ernest P. Gye.
The Secretary
to the Treasury
