ondeav ouis to improve the sanitation of the town and the unhealthy practices are
being checked to a certain extent. Dr. Sohrab was the Health'Officer in the
Kerman province at the end of the year.
An epidemic of typhus fever broke out in Kerman in January, and only died
down in • The disease was almost entirely limited to the poor where it ran
11 ough whole families taking all members together, or one after another in
turn. Despite frequent cases of marked hyperpyrexia, the disease had a low
moi tality, broadly^ speaking only weaklings and aged folk succumbing to it.
During the epidemic the Church Missionary Society staff treated over 600
palients and great credit is due to Dr. Gr. E. Dodson for his endeavours. Other
than the effects of the above epidemic, the health of the town on the whole
remained good till the end of the year when influenza appeared in a mild form.
12. Russian 1 rade Interests. —The Soviet Trade Representation in Kerman
gave an exhibition of their agricultural tools and implements in January but did
not create much impression on the cultivators.
In May the Soviet Consul-General, Isfahan, visited Kerman to attend the
opening ceremony of the electric light installation in which he displayed great
interest.
The Soviet Trade Representation closed down in Kerman in the month of
September, transferring their headquarters to Bandar Abbas.
Sheikh Abul Kassim Harandi has continued to remain as the Russian Sales
Agent in Kerman throughout the year.
13. Militarii and Conscription. —The Kerman column which had proceeded
to Bashakird during the latter part of 1931 to reduce Abdul Hussein Kameran,
returned to headquarters in April without accomplishing its object. Another
column despatched in November on the same mission is so far reported to have
not met with any success.
The discipline of the military force in the provin6e is commendable.
Sarhang Mohammad Khan Maimand v T as commanding the Kerman Brigade at
the end of the year.
Conscription .— Naib Sarhang Farajullah Khan Mushar was in charge of
the Conscription Department throughout the year. A fresh enquiry by this
official resulted into a number of exempted persons being'called upon to enlist.

Officer Commanding, Persian Baluchistan, w T as recalled to Tehran in May and
replaced by Sartip Abbas Khan, Alburz, from Kerman. Operations by troops

Hussein, Kameran, as reported above, are still in progress.
There were no Baluch raids across the Lut during the year under review.
Rudhar. —Zargham-us-Sultaneh is still the nominal ruler of Rudbar and a
military garrison is now permanently stationed in the district. Zargham’s
rival nephew, Saeed Khan, whom he succeeded in getting into trouble, is still
under detention at Kerman.
