The two cases mentioned above were represented to Tehran.
Tour. —The Director left Karachi for a tour of inspection on the 3rd
April and after visiting all telegraph and wireless stations in the Persian
Gulf returned to headquarters on 4th May. He interviewed Mir Din
Mohamed at Charbar and Mirs Mustafa Khan and Hoti at Jask.
Mr. A. W. Halkett relieved Mr. H. A. D. Thomson on the 20th
March as Officer-in-Charge of the Jask telegraph sub-division. His report
on the condition of the country between Jask and Gwadur is attached.
J ask.
Mr. W. C. Janes was Superintendent in charge of the telegraph
station up to 19th March when he was relieved by Mr. H. A. D. Thomson,
Ihe latter was relieved in turn by Mr. W. C. Janes on 1st December.
Persian officials. —No Deputy Governor has yet been appointed here.
But the duties have been performed both by the Officer Commanding the
Persian troops and the Mudir of Customs, which has caused a good deal
of friction between them. Mirza Dahim was Mudiri of Customs up to 3rd
October when he was relieved by Mirza Adamy. Mirza Dahim left Jask
on 4th October to take up his duties as Secretary to the Provincial Director
of Customs at Bandar Abbas.
There is also a Persian Quarantine Medical Officer here.
Persian garrison. —One non-commissioned officer and 25 infantry-men
under one Naib Mohamed Khan form the total garrison at this place.
Taxes. Members of the Indo-European telegraph staff do not pay
customs duty as provided in the Jask agreement. Road tax however has
been paid. The Persian Government during the year claimed customs
duties from the telegraph staff but on the matter being represented, it was
agreed to allow goods to be imported free of duty into the country pending
final settlement of the case. A note of the goods imported by the members
of the Telegraph Department is being kept by the Mudir of Customs.
British Navy. —H. M. S. " Cyclamen " and " Crocus " visited the
port during the year.
Aviation. —A considerable number of aeroplanes landed at Jask during
the year. The movements of aeroplanes in the Gulf are being telegraphi
cally reported to Karachi free of charge by the Indo-European Telegraph
Department. In the event of forced landings every assistance is being
afforded and such measures as are possible are taken to ensure that planes
are not molested. As a rule the subsidised chiefs are requested to supply
guards. The Persian officials at Jask have put every kind of obstacle in the
way of aeroplanes alighting there. This was most marked m the case of
the " Iris " which made a forced landing at Jask on the 24th October, the
Under Secretary of State for Air, Sir Philip Sassoon and the Secretary of
the Foreign and Political Department, India, Sir Denys Bray being
passengers.
C harbar.
Mr. G. A. Tomlinson was relieved by Mr. M. S. de Souza on 1st
March. The latter remained in charge of the telegraph station throughout
the year except for a few days. In May Mir Din Mohamed of Dashtyari
was appointed as Governor of Charbar.
Persian Customs. —Mirza Essa was the Mudir of Customs during the
year under report. His treatment of the British Indian traders left much
to be desired. For instance a
