Furniture for the Birjand Consulate Kelata and
Sistan Vice-Consulate.
Sir,
I am directed to refer to telegram dated the 1st
May 1914 from His Majesty’s Secretary of State for India in
which sanction was accorded to the purchase of land and the
construction of the Consulate at Birjand at a total cost of
Rs. 6,366. His Majesty’s Consul for Sistan and Kain has
reported that no provision was made at the time for furniture
for the Consulate. The house was partially furnished with
camp chairs and tables, to which were added from time to time
odd pieces bought from office allowance savings or inherited
from East Persia Cordon Field Force messes. Most of the
existing furniture hardly suits a Consular residence, and
certain articles, such as chests of drawers, side boards,
dining table, floor-cloth, etc., are altogether lacking. It
is accordingly proposed that the house should now be
furnished at a cost not exceeding Rs. 1,700/- (
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
one
thousand and seven hundred).
2. The Consul has also reported that no furniture has
been provided by Government for the Vice-Consul and Medical
Officer, Sistan, who is occupying the bungalow built by the
Imperial Bank of Persia for their Accountant. A sufficient
quantity of good second hand furniture is reported to be
available/
