falls within the district administered by the Director of
Customs at Bunder Abbas and Mudirs are pOvSted at Tiab and Kohistak.
Persian Telegraph Department.
Bunder Abhas.—'E.&]\ Khan remained in charge throughout the year. He
is reputed to be anti-British and to make considerable profit by divulging
the contents of telegrams to persons other than those to whom they are
addressed.
Persian Post Optice.
Bunder ^55^.—Sayld Jalal-ud-Din has been Post Master throughout the
year.
He is conceited, officious and anti-British. He has given much trouble
by refusing to receive letters from, or to hold any communication with, the
British Post Office, and has made himself objectionable in many petty ways.
Ling ah. —Sayid Zaki has held office throughout the year.
In pursuance of instructions from his head office he has refused to recog
nise the British Post Office.
Abdul Hnsain Qishmkwas Post Master until September
when he was relieved by Mirza Husain. He was accused of tampering with
letters on several occasions and seems to have been objectionaole and
untrustworthy.
Municipality.
Bunder ^^5—Haji Muslim remained in charge until 15th May, when
he was dismissed on the insistence of Yaminnl Mamalik and succeeded by
Meshedi Ali.
Haji Muslim had been head of the Municipality since its formation in
1918. He was capable and industrious and always remained loyal to the < Con
sulate. His dismissal (for no reason) was made contrary to His Majesty s
Consul's expressed wishes and may be regarded as an expression ot covert
hostility. His successor is a nonentity.
Lingah.—K.\xa.\a, Zainal held office until May when he was succeeded by
Amin-al-Biyayah.
The department appears to be as inefficient as ever.
Visit op Kargtczar op Bushire.
Tamin-ul-Mamalik, Karguzar of Bushire, made a tour of the Gulf Ports
iu Persian Sloop " Persepolis " in the summer and reached Bunder Abbas on
26th April.
Making Bunder Abbas his headquarters he visited Minab (twice), Hormuz,
Qishm, Henjam, Kargah and Namakdan on Qishm Island, the Kuh-i-bmau,
Lingah and the Sibkuh ports. Salutes of 21 guns were fired from the
IJ Persepolis " in his honour, when he first disembarked at Bunder Abbas ana
Lingah. He eventually left Lingah on his return to Bushire on 15th Angus .
The most significant of his activities were the dismissal of Haji ^jshm
from the Bunder Abbas Municipality, and the support which he undoub e y
gave to Zair Abdullah Khan in his refusal to vacate Minab.
He made a great outward profession of friendship towards the Consulate
but published broadcast the fact that the Consulate was not interested or co -
cerned in any local matters.
During his presence in Bunder Abbas officials and others accustome 0
visit the Consulate showed considerable reluctance to do sM 101 ? .
appeared that friendship with the Consulate was not a passport to bis tavour.
lie interfered in every local question and case m which he could andadve
his own importance to an incredible extent.
It was popularly supposed that he was intriguing to supersede t e
Governor of the Gulf Ports, and before the end of the year he had secured
post.
