Sir: Referring to the department’s note of the 4th instant in regard to the proposed increase of taxes in Cairo with a view to the construction of a sewer system, I have the honor to say that the agent of the United States at Cairo having reported that American interests will be slightly, if at all, affected by the proposed increase of the tax on rental valuation of realty, he has been instructed that he may assent thereto, if the assent of the United States be necessary to insure unanimity.
