tlie fanning of the local Governor and Military Commander, i under orders '
from higher authority.
The elections in this town to the constituent Assembly were even more farci
cal—the names of the Deputies desired by Tehran having been previously com
municated to the local authorities.
Quarantine and Medical.
Bandar Abbas. —Assistant Surgeon D. L. Mackay, held the post of
Quarantine Medical Officer of the port and remained in charge of the Consulate
Dispensary and the Town, Charitable Dispensary throughout the year. He
proceeded on four months' leave to India on the 19th July and Assistant Surgeon
A. L. G-reenway, I.M.D., officiated during his absence.
Dr. Mackay carried out his duties in a highly efficient manner. His
popularity amongst the towns-people and the spread of his fame to outlying-
districts have contributed to swell considerably the attendance at the Town
Charitable Dispensary and have caused that quasi-British institution to be
appreciated to a greater extent.
^ Quarantine. —The health of the port was good and no infectious or con
tagious disease occurred.

diseases treated are tabulated for comparison with the figures for the preced

as against 186 in 1924 and 246 in 1923.
These comprised incisions of abscesses, reductions of fractures and dis
locations, amputations, excision of tumours, extraction of cataracts, iridectomies
and extraction of teeth, etc.
A craniotomy performed for the removal of a dead full term foetus was*
successful.
All cases that were operated on, recovered.
Bispesary Building and Equipment. —The, building is in a fair state of
repair^ The plastering of the roof which was rendered necessary of heavy
rain, is being undertaken at present at the expense of Haji Mukhtar
Dewani.
The furniture and fittings at the medical and surgical appliances are in a
serviceable condition.
Haji Sheikh Ahmed Gelladari, the leading merchant and most influential
person in Bandar Abbas met the cost of extra drugs and dressings that were
required for the dispensary to the extent of Rs. 520.
Sanitation of the Town.
This continues to be very bad and unsatisfactory.
As remarked in previous reports no sanitation is practiced by the inhabi
tants and the Municipality makes a very poor attempt to remedy the existing
evil.
