G^ad-r Tost Office Building.
I hav^ thn honour to stat rt that the Sub-Postmaster
G^adur informs me that the orip*inal boundary walls showing
the correct positions of the Post Office boundary has dis
appeared and it is not possible at this stage to fix the
Post Office building boundary limit.
The boundary will consist of flat iron posts with
a fencing of iron wires which will be erected around the
Post Office building as shown in the red lines of the
enclosed plan.
As this work: of erecting this boundary is to be
completed th"i s year* by the 20th l arch 19?6 t^e latest and
as there is a very little time left, I have ordered the
Sub-Postmaster to intimate the fact to the Wali Gwadur
and ^ave the work carried out by the contractor in antici
pation of formal aprroval by Bis Highness the ^ultan of
Muscat. A ny discrepancy found in the actual boundary and the
one now erected could be corrected later.
In the circumstances, I request that you will kindly
favour me by approaching His Highness the ^ultan of Muscat
and obtain his formal sanction to the erection oi the
boundary walls and communicate the same to me.
