WITH reference to my despatch No. y of the 10th May, I have the honour to
reporting on the meeting of the Sanitary Council held on the 5th instant.
Copies of the proces-verbal of the 90th meeting are also enclosed.^'
I have, &c.
G. BARCLAY.
I HAVE the honour to report that a meeting of the Sanitary Council was held
yesterday, the 5th June, at which I took the chair.
The public vaccination service continues to meet with success, and some
IT.000 people have been vaccinated since the end of Eebruary. Unfortunately, the
monthly sum assigned to the service by the Government is paid very irregularly, and
nothing has been received for the provinces.
Plague in the Gulf .—At Bushire the epidemic is decreasing. So far, eighty-one
cases have occurred, with seventy deaths. At Bahrein, over 200 cases had occurred
up to the 14th May. There is also an epidemic at Debai, and several cases have been
caught in the quarantine station at Lingah among the passengers for the Arabian
ports.
Cholera in Russia .—Two cases occurred in the province of Kherson (Odessa) at
the end of April. No new cases have been notified since.
Quarantine Station at Enzeli .—The events which led up to the proposal for this
quarantine station may be shortly traced:—
1. Eor several years Persia has been threatened or infected with cholera from
Russia. Quarantine has been enforced against Russian shipping on the Caspian.
The principal station has been at Astara—insanitary and uncomfortable to a degree.
Europeans have been bitter in their protests against it.
2. The Sanitary Council has frequently demanded better accommodation, and
since direct boats began between Baku and Enzeli chose the latter port as the place
for the principal quarantine station.
3. At the end of 1910 the Medjliss voted 20,000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
for a quarantine service
in the Caspian.
4. In March a commission of the Sanitary Council was sent to Enzeli and
Astara to choose sites and draw up plans. At Enzeli the only suitable place found
was a garden belonging to the Government containing a dilapidated tower which
would cost 10,000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
to repair, and the materials of which would go a long way
towards making the proposed quarantine buildings.
5. The council unanimously adopted the proposals of the commission, and on the
15th April they were submitted to the Persian Government.
6. After a delay of seven weeks the Persian Government replied that the garden
was required for official receptions, that the tower would be repaired, and that another
site would be brought for the quarantine station.
