Vice-Consul Rawlins to Consul-General Eyres.
(No. 51.)
Sir, Adana, October 15, 1910.
I HAVE the honour to report that the Bagdad Railway Company has obtained a
contract for the construction of a dike, which is to be built for the purpose of
protecting this town from the disastrous floods which have at various times been
caused by the overflowing of the Seihun River at the time of the heavy winter rains.
The dike will be about 4 kilom. in length, and the company have agreed to
construct it for the sum of £ T. 40,000.
Work upon this is said to begin shortly.
The same company, or rather the well-known German firm of contractors,
Holzmann and Co., have also obtained the official sanction of the Government to make
the surveys for the irrigation of the Cilician Plain.
The surveys will extend from the town of Missis down to Mersina, and the
conditions are that the company make the survey within three months at their own
expense; afterwards, the company will be granted the concession for the actual
irrigation works, or if these latter be given to some other concessionnaire, or the
scheme abandoned, then the expenses of the initial survey will be paid to the
company.
I have, &c.
E. C. DONALDSON RAWLINS.
