Works establishment is concerned with minor worKs at
Shiraz, which it will he observed is classified as an
"inaccessible post". At the same time it is stated
in P.Z.6868/34 that the Assistant Engineer had visited
Shiraz in connection with a project then under discussion.
In the circumstances this Department would prefer
to reword para. 6 as follows:
"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.<t,467 thereafter, borne
entirely by the Government of India, and such
evidence as can be 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 Works 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 Ho.2240/28/37 dated 6th 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".
It might also be pointed out to the Government of
India that capital expenditure was being incurred •
after 1934-35, vide P.Z.2482/35. L\
