of State have elicited the reply that neither of them attaches
any military or political isportance to the maintenance of the
line and that they are not prepared to incur any financial lia
bility on this account* xhe maintenance of a telegraph office
at Omara is, however, of interest to the Meteorological Depart
ment which, on account of aerial navigation, attaches consider
able importance to the weather observations at that place and
to their speedy transniasion to proper quarters* It will thus
be clear that apart from the necessity of providing a line for
the use of the Imperial and International jommuni cation a, Limi
ted, the oenefita from the maintenance of the line are not
cosxrienaurate with the expenditure in which the Indian Poata and
Telegraphs Department would be involved. The Government of
India have therefore caused investigations to be made regarding
the possibility of providing cheaper telegraph facilities at
the three offices, and these investigation a have revealed that
it is feasible to provide low-power wireless stations at Oxmara j
and Paani capable of working direct with the Posts ana Tele
graphs wireless station at Karachi on the one side, and with
another station at Gwsdur on the other if one can be made avail
able at the last place* a matter which is dealt with in para
graph 12 of this letter. The capital cost of the three wireless
stations is estimated at about Ha. 10,000 each, while recurring
cost of working each station, inclusive of interest and depre
ciation, would amount to Ha. 6,000 per annum, in addition to
the cost of operating the three combined offices at Gr«&dur,
pasni and Ormara which is being incurred at present. The require
menta of the Government of India and the Indian Posts and Tele-
graphs Department could thus be met adequately by dismantling
or abandoning the lines and erecting the three wireless sta
tions and if this is done the commercial accounts of the Posts
and Telegraphs Department would benefit by about ffe. 42,000 per
annum. In reality however the financial benefit from abandoning
this line would be somewhat greater, as it is understood that,
