Audit query regarding extra payment to Engineer
Farms, ^
For observations on the Auditor's q-ery.
Engineer Parnis was put on deputation to attend,
the construction and trials of the nevj Persian
i/Y\J ,
Gulf lighthouse tender, and it is this connection
that the trivial sum now in question becomes
''divisible* with the Imperial Government. If the
cost of deputing this and other officers in
connection with the ship's constriction in order
that they might learn he^ mechanism and its work
ing, and the cost of sending to England for the
same purpose a native crevj (who remirned before
the ship iwas completed) are to be divided with
the Foreign Office, the sum of <£1:9:9 is equally
divisible,
Perhaps the Political and Financila Secretaries
would say 'whether the^ think it fair to debit
Imperial Finds with half of expenditure so indi-~
rectly connected with ^he Lighting and. Buoyage
scheme, and whether similar charges have already
been included in the accounts prepared, in India,
