Saiyid Tariq bin Tainrur , President of the Municipality did his utmost
with what little resources were at his disposal to improving the cleanliness of the
public thoroughfares. The Municipality carried out the following important work
during the years
1. Enlargement of the road from Muscat 9 Agabh to Muttrah.
2. Removal of dung heaps.
3. Spraying of D.D.T. to exterminate flies and mosquitoes.
3. EDUCATION .
Under the Headmaster, a Palestinian named Qhalib Naqshbandi and two new
Palestinian teachers, Pais Shahbuddin and Akil Dujani, the standard of education
has been raised considerably. The two young Palestinians have modern ideas and
their attempts to study local conditions with a view to improving them has met with
strong resistance • Dujani attempted to introduce Physiology into his classes but
was told that the Sultan objected to it and he had to stop. It appears that the
Sultan is som»\ 7 hat doubtful of the advantages of improved education at present,
possibly from the fear of rousing religious prejudices.
The Girls 1 school under the supervision of Mistress Munirah is rapidly
improving.
4. GENERAL COM 1UNICATI0NS .
During the year 1943 direct cable communication was maintained with
Karachi and Aden, except for a temporary interruption to the Karachi cable due to
storm dairage on June 7th. The system has been greatly strengthened by the renewal
of Shore-ends for both the Karachi and Aden cables by C.S. 1 Retriever* early in
October, replacing emergency Shore—ends laid in during the late war. During 1949 it
is expected to mke the Aden/lfuscat/fc&rachi chain fully automatic. Under the new
system efficiency will be much improved, delays reduced still further and line errors
reduced to a minimum.
Communication with Bahrain and Kuwait is, at present, by cable to Aden
and thence by wireless. It is hoped that the cable between Muscat and Bahrain will
be repaired shortly and a new Shore-end laid in at Muscat.
