June when he was recalled to Bushire. He was succeeded by Mirza Hashim

' B an dar Ahhas.—Meshedi Ali continued to be Rais-i-Baladyieh throughout
the vear Though well disposed towards the Consulate, Meshedi All is a nonen-
titv and ill titled for the post. He has been deprived of all authority by 8alar-i-
Ni'zam who has virtually assumed charge of Municipal affairs. These are in
urgent need of reorganization.
Lingah. This so-called department continued to be as inefficient as ever
and has practically been run by the Deputy Governor.
Mirza Mahommed Khan appointed a certain Jafari in March to supervise
Municipal affairs, but he was removed on Debir-i-Akram assuming charge.
The latter has made several attempts to appoint one or other of his satellites
bu{ these have proved unsuccessful owing to the stout opposition offered by the
townspeople.
As a result, the town has been left uncared for and is in a deplorably insani
tary condition.
P ersian A rmy.
Bandar Ahhas.—The first outward and visible sign of the existence of a
Rational Army in Persia was evidenced in this district by the arrival at Bandar-
Abbas from Kerman on the 22nd January of a detachment of 130 infantry under
the command of Naibs Amanullah Khan ^nd Sohrab Khan.
