administration report of the
Excise Department.
Bandar Abhas. —Amin-i -Daftar was in charge of this department^ until
9th September when the department was re-absorbed into the Finance
Department.
Amin-i-Daftar's behaviour was always objectionable and complaints of his
«tortion were almost universal. He was violently anti-British and one of
the leaders of the local anti-British party.
Lingah. —Mirz Jailer, a typical ■'new Persian " and anti-British held
office until 8tli May, when the Karguzar took over the office m addition to h l8
own duties. ^ ^
In September the Department again became a branch of the Finance
Department.
Minah — Mirza Hassan held office until April when he was relieved by
Mirza Ahmed Khan, formerly a Customs Mudir who was dismissed for
dishonesty. Mirza Ahmed Khan was in charge until 25th June when he was
murdered.
The Department has since been controlled by the Finance Department.
Customs.
Bandar Albas. —M. Fourman was Director of Customs until November
1921 when he was relieved by M. Graux.
The attitude of MM. FWrman and Graux towards His Majesty's Consulate
has always been most friendly.
—Mirza Mohammed Ali was Director until 27th March when he
was relieved by M. Demorgny.
M. Demor^ny had rheumatic fever in August and on 17th August was
relieved by Mirza Mohammed Ali who remained in office until the close o±
the year.
Relations between the Customs and the Consulate have always been
cordial. . . , <.
Minab. —The Director of Customs, Bandar Abbas, is m charge ot the
district and is represented by Mudirs at Tiyab and Kuhistak.
Telegraph Department.
JBandar Abbas.—Mivza. Mohammed Ali Khan was in charge until 5th
June when he was relieved by Haji Khan. The former was an intriguer and
strongly anti-British.
Municipality.
Bandar Abbas. —Haji Muslim has remained in charge of the Department
throughout the year, and is the most capable man available for the post.
Manv attempts have been made both by the Finance and the Excise
Departments to interfere with the municipality on the authority of orders sai
to have emanated from Tehran.
The motive of these attempts is probably a desire primarily to handle the
municipality funds and secondarily to dissociate the department from au
connection with His Majesty's Consulate. It has not yet been found possible
to evolve a satisfactory and economical scheme for supplying water do
the town.
Lingah. —Amin-ul-Riyayeh held office until 27th August, when he was
dismissed and succeeded hy Khaja Zainad. The department discharges its
duties in the most perfunctory fashion and does not justify the taxes w i
it levies.
Condition of Country.
Bandar Abbas and These districts have been quiet and safe
throughout the year.
