Posts and Telegraphs.
Bandar Ahhas. —Syed Ali Khan Sadr was Director tkrougliout the year.
His administration was efficient. He is both reasonable and obliging in his
dealings and is popular with the merchants.
Since October, under orders issued by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs special
postal bags hitherto made up at the Bombay and Karachi post offices for His Ma
jesty's Consulate are required to pass through the local Persian office—where the
bags are opened and their contents inspected before delivery.
The bi-weekly postal motor service with Kerman and other places in the in-'
terior functioned fairly regularly in spite of the insecurity of the road in the vicinity
of the Tang-i-Zagh.
As mentioned in the previous report telegrams arriving in code are delivered
in a mutilated condition owing to the telegraph operators not being conversant
with foreign characters and incompetent to even copy messages thus arriving.
The present Director is hardly responsible for this unsatisfactory state as'
apparently no attention has been paid to his representations in the matter by his 1 ^
chief at Bushire.
Communication by telephone with Minab established in 1929 was main
tained.
Lingah. —No complaints were received in regard to the postal service which
apparently worked satisfactorily under Ali Akbar Khan Farah.
Municipality.
Further improvement was observed in the condition of the town on the whole.
A municipal board of six merchants elected by the townspeople was formed in
July and some interest is being evinced in town affairs.
A project for the introduction of drinking water into the town from one of the
adjacent villages was taken in hand and test wells dug for the purpose. The work
was in progress at the close of the year.
Owing to the decision of the Central authorities to withdraw their annual
grants hitherto earmarked from the " Compounded road tax " fund to Municipa
lities in the provinces, there will be some difficulty in finding funds in future for the
administration of the " baladyia
A scheme is under consideration whereby the necessary revenues will be
raised by levying imposts on all packages of merchandise passing through the
Customs house and recovering license fees from coffee houses, restaurants and liquor
shops. It has not yet received the approval of Tehran.
Red Lion and Sun Society.
This movement that was fanned by the Governor of the Gulf Ports during his
visit in 1929, has gradually waned since, and may be now said to have died a natural
death.
%
The subscriptions promised by certain merchants have not been paid and the
townspeople generally having lost all interest, have decided not to contribute.
Lingah. —The Municipality has been re-organized on similar lines to that at
Bandar Abbas under the Chairmanship of the Deputy Governor.
Education.
Bandar Ahhas. —The Rais-i-Mu'arif Mirza Syed Husain Khan Mudani pro
ceeded to Tehran in February and did not return. The charge of schools was held
by the Rais-i-Sahieh till October when the present incumbent Aghai Habibi was
appointed.
Two small Government preparatory schools were opened in the interior at
the villages of Takht and Shameel.
Lingah. —In addition to two national and one Government school, a pre
paratory school has been opened at the village of Kung under Government auspi
ces.
