letter No. P 572/30
of the 17th ultimo regarding the engagement of a clerk-typist
at His Majesty’s Consulate at Tabriz, I am directed by Mr. |
Secretary Henderson to transmit herewith for the information
of the Secretary of State for India^copy of a statement which
has been drawn up in this department on the basis of !
information supplied by Mr. Consul Palmer showing the estimated 1
needs of the post for the current year. Before requesting the
acceptance by the Secretary of State for India of a moiety of
the cost involved it is felt that some explanation of the
increased expenditure should be submitted to him.
2. It will be noted that some re-arrangement Is
suggested in the salaries of the staff at the post and in this
connexion I am to transmit herewith copy of a despatch from
Mr. Consul palmer which explains the reasons for the new
proposals.
3. I am to request that Mr. Wedgwood Benn’s attention
may be drawn to the fact that the clerk-typist, the moiety of
whose salary your department had agreed to charge to Imperial
funds in the letter under reference, has proved unsuitable and |
that a new clerk has been engaged in her stead at a salary of
eight thousand four hundred krans per annum.

4. An addition to the allowance is proposed for heating. '
The former allowance has been found to be entirely inadequate,
providing funds for a stock of fuel which became exhausted on
the 20th January last and which no doubt would have become
