attending in serious cases without any allowance.
In 1901 a proposal was made by the Resident, at the instance of Captain
Hare, that the Residency Surgeon at Bushire should be granted an allowance
of Rs. 100 a month for medical charge of the Telegraph Staff at .Reshire and
that he should be entrusted with the control of the medical and sanitary arrange­
ments at Jask and Fao. As, however, the Director-in-Chief of the Indo-European
Telegraph Department was of opinion that the arrangements hitherto in force
had worked satisfactorily, the Government of India decided not to make any
alterations (Foreign Department letter No. 379-E.A., dated 17th February 1902).
