Sir,
In continuation of my memorandum Ho.622-28/37 of the
Sqql>^ 5th May 1939, I have the honour to forward herewith a copy
of a letter No.164/10/2/15, dated the 4th April 1939, from
His Majesty 1 s Consul, Shiraz, requesting that a substantial
increase be made in his annual allotment for the upkeep of
the Shiraz Consulate buildings.
2. His contention that the sum of Rs.800/-, which is
allotted to him annually for petty repairs from this
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
T s Central Contract Grant, is inadequate, cannot
be disputed and it is a fact that the Consulate building is
in a deplorable state of repair. It is not possible hovjevei
to increase his allotment from the Central Contract Grant
without materially reducing the sums allotted for the upkeep
of the other Consulates in the charge of this
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
.
The attached statement shows the distribution of the Centra]
Contract Grant to the various Consulates which is based on
tbe c apital cost o f their respective buildings.
