On April 24th, 1914, it was reported that tho Persian
Government had extended the time for the road conces
sions held by Messrs. Lynch and Company to April 1921. This
concession for constructing roads embraces the following
roads:—
Tehran-Ispahan.
Tehran Burujird-Khurramabad- Muhammareh.
Burujird-Isfahan.
Isfahan-Ahwaz.
The only work so far completed is Tehran-Qum, Qum-
Sultanabad, and Isfahan-Ahwaz.
Page 384 .—At the end of paragraph (a) ending with the
words “ if required, a railway can be laid on it '* add the fol
lowing :—
In February 1913, it was reported from St. Petersburg that
the Social6 des chauss£es de Enzeli a Tehran et de Julfa a Tabir
had secured a concession for the Julfa-Tabriz railway, and the
option on the extension from Tabriz to Kazwin had fallen to the
Russian Discount and Loan Bank. The gauge is the standard
gauge.
The Julfa-Tabriz railway is, according to the above report, to
be begun within two years and completed within six years,
while for the extension of the line from Tabriz to Kazvin a time
limit of eight years is fixed. Both works will probably be un
dertaken with as little delay as possible.
The branch extension from Tabriz to the N.-E.w shore of
Lake Urumieh will probably be designed in such a way as to
render possible the establishment of communication with the
town of Urumieh on the other side of the lake. In conneotion
with this extension a Russian engineer obtained permission
from his Government in 1913 to arrange for a steamship service
on Lake Urumieh.
