By his telegram of April 1st, 1913, he reduced
the annual cost of upkeep to £5000 using coal, or
£4740 using oil. The letter confirming the telegram
is not among the papers, so that it does not appear
how the £5000 is made up, but the reduction is said to
be due to the reduced number of lighthouses and therefore
largely to reduced fuel expenditure.
In my minute of July 14th, 1913, it was said that
the annual cost of upkeep (of vessel to design decided
upon) would be less than £5000 as stated by the D.R. I.M.
The Viceroy^ telegram of 13th November, 1914,
which forms the basis of the present minute gives
complement of Commander, 1 lieutenant, two sub- lieutenants
2 engineers, 1 assistant surgeon, 1 gunner, 1 clerk
and 58 crew. The cost is given as:-
Establishment
Coal, (oil), stores &c.
£2930:
8:
0.
2733:
14:
8.
£5664:
2:
8
The increase appears to be mainly due to pay of
establishment which is £562: 8: 0. more than proposed
in the estimate of £6450 in the D.R. I.M's letter of
January
