Customs Compensatory Allowance.
....
I have the honour to refer to the correspondence
ending with your memorandum Mo.F.29-B/29 ,dated the 23rd
June 1930, and to recommend that the privilege of drawing
Customs Compensation Allowance may be extended to the
Attache* the Superintendent and the First and Second Clerks
of the Meshed Consulate General.
2. When Mr .Law approached Government by his letter Mo.
389/21/2 of 25th May 1929 he mentioned that His I&je sty^s
Consul General was the only Government servant who had
hitherto benefitted by Customs exemption. It is for this
reason that no claim for Compensation Allowance was raised
on behalf of other officers and clerks. His Majesty f s
Consul at Sistan has however now informed me that his junior
staff have been granted the allowance with effect from 1 st
September 19 31.
3. As the position of the subordinate officers and clerks
of the Meshed Consulate General is identical with that of
the persons of corresponding status serving in the Sistan
Consulate, excepting only that the cost of living in Meshed
is much higher thuti in Sistan, I have to request that the
concession granted may be extended to Meshed.
4. If Government is pleased to sanction my recommendation
a
and you will inform me of the sanction so as to reach me
before the end of the financial year I shall be able to
meet the expenditure from my existing Budget grants.
