Local Government.
Bandar Abbas.—kglm Mirza Zain-ul-Abidin Khan Ibrat handed over charm
of the Governorate to Syed Ali Mohammed Khan Fetemi, the Rais-i-Nazmieh in
March. The latter was relieved by the permanent incumbent, Agha Ismail Khan
Bahadur, on the 30th June. &
The duties of the Governor have, as a result of establishment of several ad
ministrative departments, and of opening of Adlieh Court in Bandar Abbas in
August, chiefly been confined to the supervision of the Municipality of which he
is the President.
Agha Ismail Bahadur, who hails from Tabriz, and does not appear to possess
much intellectual talent has been endeavouring to prove himself fit for the post by
exhibiting energetic activities in connection with the improvement of the town.
He appears, unlike his predecessor, to be steady and cautious.
The Governor of Gulf Ports, Agha Ali Asghar Khan Talikani, visited Bandar
Abbas and Minab between 16th and 26th March and Lingah on his way to Bushire.
Minab .—Agha Abdul Husain Mirza, son of Rukn-ud-Dauleh assumed charge
on the 12th March. Agha Shikohi did not join the post as expected last year.
Ling ali .—Mirza Azim-us-Sultaneh, Mustaufi, was Deputy Governor through
out the year.
Finance Department. •
Bandar Abbas .—Mirza Mohammed Khan Mansoori remained in charge
throughout the year. He is a quiet man but unfortunately addicted to opium
smoking.
Minab .—Mirza Abdul Rasool Dareesi was in charge of Maliyeh at Minab
during the year.
LingaJi.--Agh& Hafeezi continued to be in charge at Lingah.
Posts and Telegraphs.
Bandar Abbas .—Syed Ali Khan Sadr was transferred to Bushire on 31st
May and succeeded by Mirza Ibrahim Khan Arbabi, the Telegraph Master. The
latter remained in charge during the remaining part of the yea£ Due to the
leniency of the new Director, several complaints of the irregumrities among
the staff were heard. The Posts and Telegraphs officials, however, remained well
disposed towards this Consulate.
The work of the Telegraph section was satisfactory throughout the year.
Communication by telephone with Minab was maintained.
Lingah .-—Mirza Ali Akbar Farah was the Postmaster throughout the year.
Municipality.
Bandar Abbas .—The new Governor, as mentioned above, was enthusiasti
cally keen to improve the state of the town and the following schemes were under
consideration :—
•
Water Supply .—The work on the test well which was resumed in February
and suspended in May was taken up with somewhat greater zeal in November.
A channel from an underground stream in Naiband about 3 miles East of town
was expected to reach Bandar Abbas about the end of the Persian year 1311 (21st
March 1933) and hoped that a cubic foot of running water would be brought by
then. This channel would be connected later with the main ‘ qanat ’ which is
being brought from Band-i-Kunarun.
