The amount of Krana 410 for charcoal Includes a sum of Krans
?S>8 for charcoal purchased by my predecessor on the 19th Nov
ember 1930 and passed through the accounts on Slarch 30th 1931.
This Item really belongs to the twelve months ended December
31st 1930 and should therefore be subtracted from the figure
of Krans 1,3^3.80 to arrive at the actual expenditure for the
year 1931# which thus stands at Krans 1,125.80.
6. Newspaper subscriptions, schedule (5) of the office
allowance, amounted to Krane 280 durlnsr the year 1931# com
posed as follows:-
subscription to Reaht newspaper’Parvarlsh* —^rs. 40.
* Tehran *
*?£e8Ba*er de Teheran" Krs.240.
280 .
The subscription to the local newspaper ’Parvarlsh* has been
maintained by the Vice-Consulate for many years, while the sub
scription to the *Wessager de Teheran' is an Innovation which
the Legation has long urged this Vice-Consulate to make lor
the purpose of keeping properly Informed about the new laws
and reculatlons :aade by the reraian Government which are pub
lished in that Journal,
7. "’arrlsffe hire, schedule (6) of the office allowance,
amounted to Krans 63 only In the year 1931. This amount will
ftppear very moderate when X mention that the Governor of the
Province lives at a considerable distance from the Vice-
Consulate and that it costs Krans 12 to hire a carriage every
time en official visit le made to him.
8. Schedule (7) of the office allowance, Nauru* gratui
ties, absorbed Krans 660 in the year 1931. This amount will be
exceeded in 1935? since it is the custom to pay the gatekeeper
and ferr^snes one month's pay as a Nauru* gratuity, and they
muet now be paid at Krans 165 each Instead of Krans 130 as
last year. The sum I should propose therefore for Nauru*
gratultlea
