The council discussed this reply at the meeting, and came to the following
conclusions:—
1. It could not reconsider its decision for: (a) the site chosen was the only
suitable one ; (b) the extra expense involved in buying a special piece of laud and
repairing the tower was considerable (20,000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
). In the present state of
country’s finances the council did not hope for a satisfactory solution to the questi/j
in the way the Government proposed, and looked forward to further prolonged delay.
2. The quarantine station could he used for receptions if necessary, and, indeed,
it would be more suitable for the purpose than the present dilapidated garden and
tower. If it was objected that it could not be so used when occupied by passengers
in quarantine, it might equally well he said that in time of cholera receptions would
not he held.
3. The delegates of the different Powers represented at the meeting having
declared that their respective Governments would no longer agree to their subjects in
the first and second classes being put into quarantine unless suitable accommodation
was provided for them, the council decided that in the event of quarantine having to
he enforced against llussia this summer, only 3rd class passengers (from whom the
greatest danger of the spread of infection is always to he apprehended) would be
required to undergo quarantine. Passengers of the 1st and 2nd classes would have to
submit to a medical visit only.
4. As it is now too late to hope for the construction of the quarantine stations
proposed, the council advised the immediate erection of temporary accommodation for
3rd class passengers at Astara and Enzeli. It also proposed to limit the duration of
quarantine to three days instead of five, as being in accordance with the most lateiy
acquired knowledge of the incubation period of cholera.
The council’s views have been conveyed to the Persian Government, with a
request for an early reply.
