not only lend to greater savings than the scheme proposed
by His Ifiaoesty*s Minister, since it would effect the
abolition both of the Consul General at Ispahan and the
Consul at Shiraz, but nould^also be more satisfactory in
other nays* The Government of India consider it most
desirable that the Consul General at Bushire should be
able to escape from the heat of the

for some
time during the summer* Shiraz is conveniently dost to
Bushire, has a suitable jek climate and possesses in the
present Consulate a building originally constructed by
the Government of India for the use of the Political
Resident in the Gulf during his recess* The Consular
Agent, who they propose should in future be in charge of
Shiraz, would live in the town and the Consulate would thus
be available for occupation by the Resident. Ttaile they
consider that this proposal has much to commend it both
as regards economy and administrative convenience the
Government of India reco&iise that there may be difficulties
of which they are not at present aware, in the way of
amalgamating the Ispahan and Tehran Consular districts*
Should this be found, after investigation, to be the case,
they would be prepared to concur in the Ministers proposal
to incorporate Ispahan in the Shiraz Consular district
provided that arrangements are made to allow the Consul
General to use the Consulate at Shiraz as a residence during
his summer recess* They observe that His Majesty 1 s
Minister has proposed that the Consul in charge of the
combined Shiraz-Ispahan district should visit Ispahan three
or four times & year and note that the Consul General there
states in his letter of the Slat December 1932 that its
climate is preferable to that of Shiraa during the summer
months* It seems possible, therefore, that the Consul
might find it convenient to make one of his visits to
Ispahan
