Xatb Sar^aaMg Abdullah Khan Tumaj remained in Command of the Amnieh
Amnieh. liegiment in this province throughout the
the year,
Sarhang Baqir Khan of the Central Amnieh Administration arrived from
r frufi ?^p 1SpeCtl °i- ear1 ^ and Amir Lashkar Zarghami, the Gene^
ral Officer Commanding, visited Kerman in the month of May.
In view it is understood, of the Amnieh authorities’ inability to cope with
the various road robberies, which became rather too frequent in the earlv Bum
mer, Is aib Sarhang iumag received instructions from Tehran, in the month of
July, to take his orders from the Officer Commanding Kerman Brigade and this
arrangement remained in force until the end of the year.
Several cases of irregularity on behalf of the Amnkh Officers and Non-
Commissioned Officers stationed in the various outposts in the province were
brought to notice during the year.
The main artery road cut through middle of the town from east to west
Municipality. an( ^ called the Kheyaban-i-Sliahpur was com-
. • , * , . ‘ , P leted during the year, with the exception of
■certain sections which will still have to be levelled up and metalled.
A new road leading from the above to the main bazaar was taken in hand
by the er-Governor-Creneral and finished during the year. A large circus at ihe
east end of the new main road was also begun early in the year but left unfinished
due to want of funds and the recall of the cr-Governor-General at the end of
August. Sections of the balustrade round this circus sank in at the latter part
•of the year as the result of the ground being flooded for cultivation,
. old cemetery on the east side of the city, in which dead bodies were
being buried until quite recently, was plotted out by the cr-Governor-General,
with a view to providing land to the inhabitants whose houses had been demo
lished to make room for the construction of the new roads. As the result of
representations made to Tehran, however, the Governor-General received orders
in the month of March not to interfere with the cemeteries any longer. But
several plots had already been disposed of and houses built on the site.
A new cemetery, which was started by the ea;-Governor-General some two or
three miles outside the city, to replace the old one, and on which a considerable
amount of the Municipality funds had been spent, w^as, therefore, abandoned''
without having been completed or used.
The yearly allowance allotted to the Kerman Municipality from Tehran,
for construction work and general improvement of the city, was reduced at the
beeinning of the current Persian year (21st March) from Tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. 20 000 to
S,00G,
All available funds, including a sum of Tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. 18,000, subscribed from other
provinces and collected locally for distribution among those who had suffered
from the floods of the previous year, were used up on construction work, by Ihe
er-Governor-General, on whose recall to Tehran in the month of August the
Municipality was left with a large deficit.
To make matters worse, the pay of the various Health Departments was
struck off the general budget from the beginning of November, and the Kerman
Municipality were to make their own arrangements for the payment of the
Health services in their own area from that date onwards.
With the exception of the reduced - allotment of Tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. 8,000 referred to
above, the Municipality will have to find all their requirements locally. The
lighting of the Municipal area by electricity alone is costing over- Rials 10,000
each month.
It is needless to say that very little construction work is being carried on
under the present circumstances.
The Municipal tax of 3 per cent, on private houses was finally fixed by the
new Governor-General on the basis of a nominal rent of 3 per cent. Houses let
out on lease will have to pay 8 per cent., while those valued below Rials. 4,000
will be exempt from tax.
The above tax, which is being collected gradually for the last three years, is
expected to amount to over Tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. . 50,000 in the year.
