CHAPTER VI.
Annua! Administration Report of the Ahwaz Vice-Consulate 1920.
Personel. Captain E. G. B. Peel on return from leave resumed charge of
41ie Yice-Consulate from Captain E. H. O, Elkington, M. C.
Captain Elkington preceded on leave on 18th May 1920 and on his return
4n December was posted to Dizful as Yice-Consul.
Captain C. Wallis arrived at Ahwaz on 2ath November 1920 as assistant
to His Majesty's Vice-Consul.
Mr. K. K. Som acted as Head Clerk until his death on 22nd July 1920
when he was replaced by Mr. K. M. Sahani under contract to the Civil Admi
nistration at Baghdad.
S. A. S. Ata liohamed was attached to the Ahwaz Civil Hospital through"
out the year.
Ahwaz and District. —No events of note occurred in this district. The
Sheikh of Mohammerah and his local representative Sheikh Abdul Hamid have
handled their tribes well and there has been little or no crime.
A serious fire caused by the accidental overturning of a lamp destroyed
the whole of the Moin bazaar. The bazaar is now being rebuilt with domed
roofs of mud brick instead of with timber and mats and a number of minimax
fire extinguishers have been ordered by the Baladiyeh.

Branches of the Imperial Bank of Persia have been opened in Dizful and
Shushtar in charge of Persian Agents.
Dizful and Shushtar.—'K^ov W. L. Meade held political charge of Dizful
and Shushtar with headquarters at Dizful until November when he was tem
porarily relieved by Captain W. J. Warren who handed over charge to
Captain Elkington M. C. at the close of the year.
The detachment of two Indian Cavalry squadrons located at Shush was
withdrawn at the beginning of May and was replaced by two fighting fords
with a personnel of Indian Machine gunners. The latter'have proved useful on
more than one occasion but the bad state of the roads entails their being laid
up frequently for repairs.
The Sangwand levy which is now maintained by the Persian Government
under the supervision of a British officer is perhaps more ornamental than
useful but serves to impress the pusillanimous inhabitants of Dizful and the
vicinity. The real factor in maintaining peace on the Luristan-Amara, border
is the personal influence of the Political Officer, now styled Vice-Consul, whose
