5th April 1937.
Dear Hr. Clauson,
Just to keep you informed, I would tell
you that the Controller of Daval Accounts with whom
we have been in communication, has now "been credited
with Rs.26,485.1.11 This is in respect of the
Admiralty’s claim to date for "buoys etc., in the
3itrah Channel.
A further question v/ill arise on accounts
when they are rendered in respect of the second light
huoy which has been or is being placed in the Sitrah
Channel, to take the place of one of the two conical
buoys there.
I think a question will arise as to whether
the dumb buoy taken away is to remain the property of
the Company, or whether some allowance v/ill be made for
it; and there may be one or two other questions of de
tail to be settled before the accounts concerning the
placing of buoys and the maintenance of buoys in the
%
