9 . T p to and until tlie temi of tlie Anglo-Persian Convention of tlie 23rd of November
1865 sliall have expired, the Concessionnaires hereby renounce the right of participating in
the receipts on account of any international telegram sent from Julfa 1 to Bendar-Bouschir , 2
or vice versa. The Concessionnaires shall not therefore receive anything for the transmission
of the Indo-European telegrams between Djoulfa and Teheran up to the term above mentioned,
#but on condition that the present rate, as fixed by the Russo-Persian Convention of the
^ loth of August 1864, is in no way raised during the present concession.
After the term of the Anglo-Persian Concession hereinbefore mentioned shall have expired,
the Teheran-Shiraz-Bendar-Bouschir line shall be handed over to the Concessionnaires unless
the Persian Government shall before that time have entered into a new convention with the
English Government with respect to said line. In the first case, the conditions in the present
Concession shall apply equally to the Teheran-Bendar-Bouschir line, with the only difference
that a conducting wire shall be placed at the disposal of the Government every day for the
space of ten hours for Persian correspondence. The Persian Government will employ their
own clerks in such service, and settle the details thereof with the Concessionnaires. In the
event of the Teheran-Bendar-Bouschir line being handed over by the Concessionnaires, the
latter hereby undertake to pay to the Persian Government, for each Indo-European telegram of
20 words the sum of 2 francs. The charge for half telegrams shall also be reduced to one-half.
For telegrams containing more than 20 words, there shall be paid one-half franc for each 5
additional words over and above 20. If, on the other hand, the Persian Government should
enter into another arrangement with England in respect of the said line, then the Concessionnaires
shall become entitled to one-third (G of the charge which may be fixed upon for telegrams
between Djoulfa and Bendar-Bouschir, but which shall, however, never exceed ten francs and
a half. The Persian Government hereby engage to transmit by the Teheran-Bendar-Bouschir
line the half telegrams of 10 words for one-half the rate of a telegram of 20 words. For their
own telegrams concerning the administration of the line, the Concessionnaires shall not be
required to pay anything. Should the tariffs on the other lines be modified, the Concessionnaires
hereby undertake to pay to the Persian Government integrally 2 francs for each telegram, and
the Persian Government reserves to itself the right of either claiming 2 francs for each telegram
of 20 words, or then a fixed annual sum of 12,000 “tomans.” The Concessionnaires m this
respect shall be bound to abide by the choice of the Persian Government.
10. The Persian Government reserves to itself the right of taking such measures as seem
fit in order to secure the exact observance of the present Concession, but m such a manner
however as not to trammel or delay the transmission of messages. The Government shall
likewise 1 have the right of causing the day books and accounts or reports of the Concession-
naires to be produced by an officer specially delegated for the purpose, and wdiose appomtmen
shall be previously notified.
