Consular arrangements in East Iran>
In connection with the proposal which has been
put forward to abolish Birjand as a separate Consular
post and to include it in the Consular district of the
Vice-Consul, Zabul, I have the honour to suggest the
following detailed arrangements.
2. The present establishment consists of a Vice-
M*\ 0
Consul, who is a Sub-Assistant Surgeon of the Indian Medical
Department and of an Iranian Mirsa, a
peon
A low-ranking infantryman, orderly or assistant (South Asian context).
and a sweeper.
To maintain a small Consular Office a clerk who should be
paid at the same rates as a clerk in the Lower Division of
the Combined
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
and Khorasan Establishment will
be required with a
peon
A low-ranking infantryman, orderly or assistant (South Asian context).
and a sweeper as before.
3. The Vice-Consul, Zabul, would divide his time
equally between Birjand and Zabul spending six months at
each place. There is already a suitable Consulate house
(Kalate) at Birjand which w the Vice-Consul can occupy.
For His journeys to and from Birjand he should draw travell
ing allowance at tour rates and he should also be entitled
to the usual ten day's halting allowance at Birjand. in
the enclosed proposition statement I have not included
any extra provision on this account as the Vice-Consul would
probably in any case be called to Meshed to discuss matters
with the Consul-General once during the hot weather and the
cost of such journeys forms a normal part of the Consulate-
General expenditure under Travelling Allowance which of
necessity fluctuates considerably.
4. The proposition statement is for the most part self
explanatory.
