N O T E . — U n d e r an A n n e x to the Convention of 4th June, 1878, betweeu Great
Britain and Turkey the former Power undertook to pay to the Porte annually
a sum representing the excess of Revenue over Expenditure calculated on the
average of the five years preceding the date of the Convention, excluding the
produce of State and Crown lands let or sold during that period. The amount to
be paid was determined to be £87,686 per annum ; this to be in addition to
4.166,220 okes of Salt to be paid in kind.
m
The sum of £113 lis. 3d. per annum also became payable, under
the same Annex, since the 4tb September, 1384, when the Cyprus Government
took over the administration of the Liehthouse Service in the Island. This sum
*w
represents 22% of the receipts of the Ottoman Lighthouse Administration which
the Sublime Porte enjoyed under the concession granted the Company for
lighting the Coast of Cyprus.
By a further Agreement of 3rd February, 1879, a further sum of £5,000
was to be paid annually to the Porte in respect of the produce of State lands.
