- Title:
- Letter from Lawrence to Northcote
- Scope & Content:
- Indian architecture and Lt Cole; pleased at Childers' refusal to take Finance Membership – if anyone can succeed in putting Indian finances on sound footing it will be Temple; real difficulty is reluctance to consent to taxation combined with demands for expenditure; agrees that members of Governor-General's Council should be allowed to record dissent so that Secretary of State can see both sides of a question; unfair if East India [Orissa] Irrigation Company is given loan of £500,000 interest free; nature of Govt of India's dispute with Company; Company's wish that Govt should force cultivators to take its water; Northcote's despatch on Central Asian question is all Lawrence could wish; brief comments on next year's budget – Council favour giving up Licence tax, no Income tax, increase in salt excise in Madras and Bombay (opposed by those Provinces), and a petty tax on trades, but nothing yet decided; arming of native troops with Enfield rifle or breach loader is militarily unnecessary and politically objectionable; Lawrence's wife and family are going home.
