CHAPTER V-
administration report of the bunder abbas consulate
eor the year 1907-1908.
The remarks made in last year's report regarding the general unrest General
prevailing throughout the district, are equally pertinent to tbe conditions remarks -
prevailing during the year under report. The constant recurrence of distur
bances and the impunity with whioh raiding parties from Ears territorv
committed depredations in the Bunder Abbas administrative district unchecked
by the local authorities, tended to reduce to vanishing point the authorltv of the
Deputy-Governor of Bunder Abbas and in the Shamilat his orders were openIv
ignored Situated as he is at Bunder Abbas, with but a handful of tofanechis
to uphold his authority, he is quite powerless to cope with lawlessness prevailing
beyond the limits of the town. Nor is his position an enviable one in the town
itselt, where he is every day becoming more and more the puppet of the local
Assembly. It is inttresting to note that this Assembly was orWnaUv
inaugurated with the object of founding a schcol for the education of Persian
children. Having accomplished this end, its attention was gradually diverted
by oadid-es-Sultaneh, the Russian Agent, to the discussion of local affairs in
general and latterly it has not scrupled to interfere in administrative matters
and to dictate to the local authorities. Although the Governor of the Gulf
Potts has several times called upon the people of Bunder Abbas to elect a
representative for the Bushire Assembly, nothing has been done in this direc-
tion, the prominent inhabitants contenuing that the town and district is of
sufficient importance to merit a separate representative in the Tehran
Assembly.

has been characterised by great scarcity and want throughout the district. Harvest.
± odder was unobtainable locally and large quantities were imported from the
upper Gulf. J -

scarcity throughout the island, no rain having fallen. Fodder or grazing for
