Bandar Abbas. Haji Khan, the Rais-i-Telegraph was transferred to

brother Mirza Ali Akbar Khan.
Haji Khan amassed a small fortune during his tlfree years tenure of office
partly by divulging official news and by black-mailing local officials.
It is believed that he was subsidised by Salar-i-Nizam in order to ensure
his position.

Bandar Abbas. —Meshedi Ali, the Rais-i-Baladiyia was dismissed in Febru
ary and the direction of Municipal affairs taken over by Salar-i-Nizam.
A committee consisting of local officials and merchants was appointed
shortly afterwards and may ambitious schemes, inter alia, electric light for the
town, the laying down of a pipe line to bring drinking water from Naiband and
the installation of an ice-plant, were projected.
These however, did not materialise owing to the private members quarrelling
with the Governor and demanding public elections. The question was referred
to Tehran.
In the meantime, the sanitation of the town continued to be neglected and
the municipal receipts misappropriated by the Governor's satellites.
Lingah. —Here too, the Baladyia merely exists on paper and no attempt at
municipal work is made.
In February, Haji Ahmed Hakim was selected by the merchants as Rais-i-
Baladyia. He is prehistoric and his only qualification for the post appears to^
be his i grey beard , .
Taxes continue to be levied and the Deputy Governor Ali Akbar Khan
casts longing eyes in the direction of the municipality over which he is en
deavouring to obtain full control, as he realises that there is money to be made.
