Rs.37,068 + Rs.7,160 = Rs.22,114, plus Rs.6,237, or
Rs.28,351, and the total amount payable by His Majesty 1 s
Government Rs.37,932 instead of Rs.31,234.
6 . The cost of additions and improvements from 1919-20
to 1934-35 is shown in your Express Letter as Rs.10,228 to
1927-28, shared in moieties, and Rs.4,467 thereafter,
borne entirely by the Government of India, and such
evidence as canb e traced at this Office shows that these
amounts are prime costs with no allowance for establishment
charges. it has not been found possible to determine
whether the Public 'vTorks Department in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. is
actually responsible for minor works at Shiraz and if so to
what extent, although a reference to a visit there by the
Assistant Engineer appears in the Political Resident’s
memorandum No.2240/28/37, dated 6 th October 1934, to the
Foreign Department, but it appears desirable to investigate
whether establishment charges connected with the capital
works since 1919-20 have in fact been incurred, as these
also should presumably be taken into account in calculating
the Foreign Office liability.
The issue of the above has been authorised.
