Item Ho. 1. Additions and alterations, with iron roofing,
for the separate house kitchen wing, “Sherbetlhanah" and
store room. Reparis to the roofs of this building were
effected out of the maintenance grant for the current year,
but it is not expected that they will afford protection
from leakage for more than one year and the provision of
iron roofing at the cost of Rials 3500 is highly desirable.
Item No. 2. The top of the main entrance gate has
sagged out of all proportion during the summer and a
thorough overhaul is urgently required with repairs to the
brick staircase leading to the top, which is now almost
unsafe.
Item Ho. 3. The roofing of the former sowars’ quarters,
now occupied by the outdoor servants, has souftk sunk
dangerously mostly throughout the building mainly owing to
damage from white ant ana a complete overhaul is urgent.
Item Ho.4. The main walls of the property are cracked
and damaged in parts and I anticipate further damage
to these and other places after the winter rains. The
estimate of Rials 1000 has been made to enable me to effect
these repairs, for which half the wall area has been provided
for.
