Sanitation of^ Town. —The sanitation of the town may be considered as
bad. The Municipality works to keep the bazaars and the surroundings of
houses clean. The inhabitants practise no sanitation. The interior of ;good
many houses reveal rubbish heaps and these form ample breeding grounds for
flies which are abundant. Advice given on the dangers of these conditions
receive a deaf ear.

cement cisterns and open earthenware pots furnish all that is necessary for
the breeding of mosquitoes. Most houses in the town have large cement
cisterns where the water is seldom or never changed. Mosquitoes are numerous
nearly all the year round and malaria gives a high percentage of cases treated.

Bunder Abbas.—A good harvest, the removal of restrictions on the export
of grain from India and the fall in prices owing to the slump in trade, have
operated to reduce the cost of living, and there has been no scarcity of water.
Against these advantages must be contrasted the effects of trade depressionj
of the disbandment of the South Persia Kifles, and of reductions in the Mili J
