Abstract of the barman of Appointment of Jalal Bey to the
V r ilayat of Baghdad, read at the Sarai on the hOth August 1911.
1. The V'ali is to turn the rivers of Mesopotamia to account (? by
means of navigation and irrigation).
2. At least 3,T,40,000 will be granted annually by the Department
of Public Yorks for Baghdad purposes.
3. The Yali is empowered to appoint and dismiss all civil
officers,except those of the ordinary Judicial and Shar'i Depart-
-ments.
4. The Yali is to reorganise the Police and open a Police School
if possible. (This refers to '’Police' 1 proper,not to Gendarmerie) .
5. The Gendarmerie are to be entirely under the Dali’s orders,and
all Gendarmerie correspondence with Constantinople will be conduct>-
-ed through him in future.
6. In case of urgent or important internal questions the Yali is
authorised to summon the Yali of Basrah to Baghdad for consultation
7. The Yali is to formulate a scheme,with the least possible delay
for the settlement of the nomad tribes upon the land.
8. Two regular regiments at Baghdad and one at Basrah are to be
at the Yali’s disposal: and,if at any time he thinks it necessary
that the Padifs or the Ihtiyat should be called out,he may,without
previous reference to Constantinople,request the Inspector General
of the 4th Inspectorat to summon them to the colours.
remarks on above.
The 8th provision is a novel one and seems certain to lead to
friction between the civil and military. It and the 5th provision
do not appear to place the relations of Baghdad and Basrah on a
definite or satisfactory basis,but secret instructions in ampli-
-fication of them may exist. The arrangement that the Inspector-
-General should call out Padifs is curious.
