66 . It is nov/ about a year since sugar and tea has been allotted
by the Iranian Governnent for Bushire. The reason being that
during the cribal revolt of last year certain Khans removed all
the tea and sugar from the Bushire Customs and until this has been
>),•; id for, Governnent is not prepared to make any further aliott-
ment of sugar and tea for Bushire.
67. Oving to the recent high tides the Lakfa sands (eastern
rxtremety of’Bushire) was flooded to a depth of about 3 feet causing
-ror t distress and damage to houses in Jabri Aliabad and hurnrbad;
owing to the hard sands'the water, at the time of writing, still
ronrins stagnant.
If. On the 7 th July Aqai Faramarzi with 4 inspectors under his
supervision arrived at Bushire. After inspecting the Revenue and
Customs Department and investigating the alleged illegal removal
of sugar from the Bushire customs by ’certain .Khans the inspectors

69. Apparently the sole reason for Aqai Faramarzi’s visit to Bnshire
was to’ canvass for his election to the Kajlis.
70. Aral Khalil Dashty arrived in Bushire on the 7th July. A few
davs later he issued handbills to the effect that only Shins were
eligible for election to the iinjlis: Aqai Faramarzi being n ounni
wrs'therefore not eligible. The local inhabitants are believed to
have informed Aqai Dashty that the Governnent wants capable
Iranians Bhias and Bunnis to be elected to parliament. The issue
of these handbills seems to have reduced Aqai Dashty*s chances of
election.
