^fc^s.-From the 1st November 1934 six new members have been
eleeied tor Bandar Abbas Municipality. One of the members Mr Yousif Lutf

M hen the Minister for Finance received the deputation of local merchants
and traders at his residence, he expressed his regret to see the town in such a
miserable and hlthy condition He asked them to change these conditions as
soon as possible and assured them of Government support. He also ordered
that the sum ot Rials 130,000 standing to the credit of the Municipality for some
years he placed at the disposal of the present Board to utilise it as they thought
necessary Besides tins, he issued orders that henceforth all taxes of 15 dinars
(7o cents) collected by the Customs as wharfage on every package, which was
spent tor the up keep of the pier, should be given to the Municipality, and the
Customs should meet the expenses for up keep of the pier from their own budget.
A balance ot Rials 9,000 which was with the Customs was, therefore, transferred
to the Municipality. In addition, he promised that he would do his best to allot
a sum of Rials 100,000 annually from the next financial year for the local Muni
cipality so that with all this income they should be able to improve the conditions
and sanitation of the town and establish a proper Municipal Hospital.
Water Supply .—The work on the abandoned qanat (underground water
channel) was resumed at the end of November 1934 and a small stream of fresh
water now flows to the Police Office. As the water flows through uncemented
trenches from Naiband (a distance of two miles) it is a bit brackish. The
Governor hopes that, before the end of March 1935, the trenches in the town will
be completed and when the permanent stream of water flows the clay will radi
cate the trenches and the water will be quite fit for drinking purposes. If this
flow of water continues during the hot season, and the public are quite satisfied,
the Governor intends to destroy all Barqas (reservoirs), which are source of
danger for all water-borne diseases, more specially the guineaworm.
Electricity and Ice Supply .—The electric plant for lights worked w T ell
throughout the year. The ice factory An East India Company trading post. , which was closed for 2 years for want of
an experienced mechanic to put the machine in proper working order, has been
repaired by a German, Herr Hoskar Speck, the tourist in a small canvas canoe,
who was held up waiting for a new one from Hamburg when the old one was
found no longer seaworthy.
Charitable Dispensary .—This dispensary was closed from the beginning of
the Summer as Dr. K. H. Dumree, Medical Officer, finding his pay inadequate
without practice, and paucity of the staff, resigned the post and taken up an
appointment as Medical Officer under the Road Administration in Mazendran.
The Consulate staff, who were formerly treated free of charge by Dr. Dumree,
will have to depend on the Quarantine Medical Officer, who cares little for the
treatment and or recovery of patients but is ever ready to pocket their fees.
Roads .—The main road- -the so-called “ Avenue’’—has ben partly com
pleted the work having to be abandoned for lack of funds, but the financial sup
port granted by the Minister of Finance in February 1935 has caused the
resumption of work, and a great improvement rendered feasible by one of the
clearance schemes, which will materially change the centre part of the town.
The demolition of a number of small and undesirable houses in the town will
permit the construction of cross roads at a very moderate cost. Much ol the
propertv affected belongs to the poor, some of whom were compensated, anp
some allotted plots of ground in other quarters. The construction of the new
cross l oads will, no doubt, enable a lot of wheeled traffic to pass to and fiom the
town.
A private enterprise is the construction of a laige iiuiiibei of houses on
either side of the main road for the staff of the Customs Depaitment.
National Garden.—At the entrance of the town on the main Kerman motor
road a garden called Bggh-i-Milli (National garden), which was laid put by the
