in view of the fact that the 1 Sitara-ye-
Jehan ’ has few subscribers in this town,
representations, supported by the local
authorities, have been made to Tehran, re
commending the re-consideration of this
decision.
289. A new problem has presented itself
in connection with the registration of
property by the fact that a large propor
tion of shops in this province hold what is
locally called the right of ‘ sar-qufii ’, origi
nating in the privilege enjoyed by the origi
nal occupant to transfer his ‘ right of
priority ’ to other parties.
The money which has in this manner
changed hands from time to time amounts,
in many cases, to three or four times the
actual value of the property concerned, and
such properties are therefore left with two
owners, each of whom draws a separate
rent.
As there are so far no provisions in the
laws of the country to deal with this extra
ownership, the Registration authorities re
fuse to recognize the right of the ‘ sar-
qufli ’ owners and, consequently, the parties
concerned have decided to make representa
tions to Tehran on the subject.
290. The Governor-General has been
collecting subscriptions for poor relief, with
a view to gathering a number of beggars
in Kerman and providing them with food
and bedding during the winter months.
