Fortunately the year remained immune from any visitation of epidemic disease.
The state of the Bushire-Shiraz Eoad has been deplorable almost throughout

The choice between the alternative methods of approach to Bushire from the
Borasjoon stage, 30 miles distant, formed from time to time as it frequently has in
the past, a convenient opportunity for wire-pulling and corruption for persons with
vested interests in the one or the other. At the end of the year the Ahmedi or land
route was in vogue.

authorities being powerless to stop it.
On the other hand in many instances, they make no attempt to do so, and even
have the temerity to include the receipts from certain purely illegal transit dues
in their schedules of annual revenue to be collected by provincial Grovernors,
Little was effected during the year in the direction of the settlement of old
Bushire claims against the Persian Grovern-
Settiement of claims ment, owing both to the fluid state of
affairs in Tehran and to the financial diffi
culties in which the Persian Government were known to be submerged. The
special Mamur promised by the Central Government never got further than Shiraz,
where however he did assist in settling some items.
The oft-mentioned Taona case has remained unsettled and still continues to be
a source of discontent and dudgeon to the Shaikh of Abu Thabi. Instructions
were indeed issued by the Foreign Office to His Majesty's Minister to ask the Persian
Government to give this matter their attention, but no result ensued.
A suggestion from Mr. Grahame that the Kowam-ul-Mulk of Shiraz, the farmer
of the district which includes Taona, should assign to the Shaikh of Abu Thabi
interests of some kind in the Island of Kais, which the Kowam is said to have
received as an absolute gift from His Majesty Nasir-ud-din Shah, deserves mention
but was not considered by the Government of India to admit of practical adoption.
The Resident was frequently on tour in the Lawrence during the year in

tours were undertaken.
