Several new wells have been drilled at Maidan (i) Naftun with "ood
results and outside tests are making good progress. The production which is
regulated in accordance with orders from London has considerably increased
and has necessitated the construction of further subsidiary pumping stations
and the laying of auxiliary pipe lines.
Communications have been improved owing to the completion of the
bridges under construction over the Tembi and Eahdar rivers.. A lio-ht railway
is in course of construction which will link up Dar-i-Khazineh with the
Main Oilfields and thus increase the facilities for transporting heavy material.
A new site of some 60 acres just above the town of Ahwaz has been
obtained from the Sheikh of Mohammerah and on this it is proposed to built a
self-contained colony for the local staff of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company
Hitherto they have been housed in buildings scattered throughout the Persian
town.

Strong pressure is being brought to bear by the Persian Goyernment with
a view to abolish all British Post Offices in Arabistan.
The Post Offices at Ahwaz, the Oilfields and Abadan were opened durin?'
the war and were controlled by the Mesopotamian administration. The Post
Office at Mohammerah had been in existence for many years before the war but
subsequently came under the control of the Mesopotamian administration
The Persian Government maintain that the existence of British (or Indian)
post offices in Arabistan is a violation of the International Postal Convention
and is responsible for a serious loss of revenue to the Government On the
other hand it is urged that the existence of thousands of Indian emplovees of
the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in Arabistan renders a system of monev order
remittances necessary, a system which the Persian Government have not R n
organised. The whole question is still under discussion.
