¥ith reference to corr^epondenct ending witk Office
of Works letter I;.C.8/28361 of the 24th September, 1934,
I fem directed by Secretery Sir Semuel Hoerc to transmit
herewith, to be luid before the First Commissioner of
forks snd Public Builainge, e copy of a deeprtch from His
/ Majesty*s Minister at Tehran regarding the reported desire
of the Persian Government to buy the consular property at
H> madsn*
2. It is still impossible to say thrt the property
will not again be required for consular purposes, and
unless a substantial sum were offered for it, it would
appear inadvisable to sell; while, if the premises were
lersed to the Persian Government, it might well prove
impossible to regain possession in case of need.
3. The iecretery of State does not view with favour
tins suggestion that public funds should be committed in
any way in connexion with the use of the consular house as
a public rest-house, and is of opinion that Hia Majesty's
Treasury would not concur in this proposal.
4. Sir Samuel Hoars would welcome the observations
of Mr. Orasby-Gore on His Majesty's Mirieter*a despatch and
would be grateful if he could be informed of the minimum sum
whimh His Majesty's Office of Works would be prepared to accept
for t e property.
