ADMINISTRATION REPOllT OF THE
Epidemics. —No epidemic diseases broke out in the town or district during
the year. Cholera was reported at Muskat and ports on the Arabian coast, but
it did not spread to Bandar Abbas. All precautions were taken with regard to
the inspection of crews and passengers arriving from the Arabian coast.
Vaccinations, —Vaccinations were carried out, but in spite of notices
posted in the town the inhabitants did not avail themselves of the opportunity
in large numbers. 158 persons, a large proporiion of whom came from the
surrounding villages, submitted to vaccination with very good results.
Medico-Legal Cases. —Nil.
Post Mori ems. —Nil.
Cases of TPoisoninq. —One case of opium poisoning was treated at the
dispensary, which resulted in death. The victim was a young male child who
had taken a crude dose of opium left in its way through the parents' careless
ness. Ihe child was brought to the dispensary 12 hours after the dose was
taken and died 3 hours later in spite of every effort being made to save him.
Operations. —The number of operations performed in 1921 was 182 as
compared with 131 in 1919 and 92 in 1920.
Dispensary Building.~T\\z building is in a good state of repair, and the
furniture, equipment and fittings are still in a serviceable condition. No sum
was expended on repairs during the year.
Sanitation of the Town.—The sanitation may be said to be bad. The
Municipality works to keep the bazaars and surroundings of the houses clean^
but sites rapidly become soiled again. Half-demolished houses exist all over
the town and are freely utilized as latrines. There are rubbish-pits in the
interior of many houses, which furnish breeding grounds for flies, which abound
everywhere. The inhabitants are incorrigibly careless in these matters, and
warnings as to the danger of such carelessness fall on deaf ears. Water is
stored in every house in cement cisterns or open earthenware pots, and the
water is seldom or never changed. Mosquitoes consequently breed in great
numbers and to this fact must be attributed the prevalence of malarial fevers^
which form a high percentage of the diseases treated at the dispensary^
A.—Assistant Surgeon C. W. Dunlop was in charge until the 25th
June, when he was relieved by Assistant Surgeon S. Gr. Jackson, who remained
in charge up to the end of the year.
a case of cholera was landed from S. S. <t Bankura , ' in September, and
was removed by his relations from the Quarantine Station. This action,caused
a cholera scare, but fortunately the disease did not spread.
Economic Conditions.
The bad harvest of 1920-21, the restrictions of grain exports from India
and the higher Customs Tariff prevailing have contributed to keep the cost of
living very high both in Bander Abbas and Lingah. The only commodity
whose price has fallen very appreciably, is sugar, and this fall is due to the
over-stocking of the market.
The shortage of water caused by the lack of rain has occasioned great
distress, especially in Lingah, during the summer.
In Bandar Abbas the depression in trade has affected all classes, and this
combined with the reduction and disbandment of the South Persian Rifles has
left many of the lower class without employment.
A comparative table showing the average prices obtaining in Bandar
Abbas and Lingah for the last three years is appended.

Assistant Resident and His Majesty 's Consult
