Cl) Zanzibar Subsidy - This is an absolute subsidy
and used to be paid by H.M.G. and '’Govt of India 1 ’ jointly from
1873 - 1883 when it became an exclusively ”Govt of India" charge.
From 1883 onwards the "Govt of India" continued to pay the whole
subsidy, and the last information on the file is dated May 19*6,vide
S 33. Details of Book Debits from A.G.C.R. arc not complete here,
and according to available information the last payment was for
February 1346. However, it is probable that H.H’s account with
the Imperial Bank of India Bombay is still being credited, as he
would certainly have noticed it had payments ceased. To make sure,
may ascertain from A.G.C.R. telegraphically whether this is so and
if not to give the date of last payment ? Presumably H.M.G. would
now have to accept responsibility for payment of the subsidy ?
