11. Local Officials and Departments—Governor-General. —The Governor-
General, Mirza Abul Hassan Khan, Peernia, quarrelled with Furuzan, the acting
Provincial Director of Finance, and was recalled to Tehran in June and replaced
by Tadayyun. The latter is a much pleasanter person to deal with.
The Governor-General, the majority of officials and the leading notables
have been ready to cultivate friendly relations with His Britannic Majesty's Consu
late, but there is always the latent fear that their attitude may be misrepresented
at the Capital. In July a pleasant luncheon party was arranged by Nusret-ul-
Mamalik in his country place which was attended by many Persians and English-
The Chief of Police is said to have sent a sensational account to the Shah
men.
and since then the Governor-General, who at first was very friendly and mixed in
the social life of the European community, has adopted a more reserved attitude
although in private he has asked me not to judge by outward appearances, and
at the same time assured me that his inward feelings remain the same.
Finance and Revenue. —The visit of Inspectors from Tehran, referred to under
the heading " Commission of Enquiry ", and their trial of several of the Malieh
officials resulted in a few of these being suspended and, in some cases, removed.
This caused great resentment and inaction among the other officials of the depart
ment, and added to the deterioration of the state of the Finance Department
which began with the disappearance of American control in 1928. The arrears
have increased in spite of several circulars from Tehran urging the Finance
authorities to action.
The new laws passed by the Medjliss in March with regard to the increased
registration fee on vehicles and income-tax caused some consternation. Some
owners of private cars have already stopped using their vehicles.
The reassessment of revenue of the Kerman province which was suspended
in September 1929 has to be taken in hand
Revenue Assessment. again in the beginning of new Persian year
(March 1931), and necessary orders in this connection have already been received
by the Finance Department.
Opium. —Smuggling has continued as in previous years but towards the end
of the year contraband opium from Ears decreased owing to the disturbances in
that province. The total fines collected on account of contraband during the'
year amounted to only T. 3,500. The Malieh authorities made several attempts,
mostly unsuccessful, to induce the individual consumers of opium to buy a regular
monthly supply of taxed opium from the Malieh godown. searching of houses
of all classes of the inhabitants increased in the latter months of the year. Ihe
income of the Department from opium which in 1929 had fallen from 1. 15,000
to T. 5,000 has further decreased and in 1930 it yielded T. 4,000 only, excluding
the fines.
