refund to dovernmant from his o^n pocket the
expenditure on the upkeep incurred hy him to that date
Considering, houever, that the necessity for the
launch had heen fully recognised hy the (Government of
India and that the necessary funds for its purchase
and maintenance had heen provided, it would in my
opinion he exceedingly hard on Dr.Lincoln that he
should he called upon to pay for the upkeep of a
launch which is admittedly necessary for the proper
execution of his official duties. Though payment
for the launch was not made till Fovemher 1930, the
launch virtually belonged to Government from the time
they accepted the proposal for its repurchase and
submitted the ratter for the Secretary of State’s
approval, a view which is supported hy the fact that
funds were provided for its upkeep.
In the above circumstances I would as^v that
the Government or India will be pleased to reconsider
their orders and to sanction that the maintenance
of the launch should be charged against the provision
in Question from the 1st April, 1930.
