40. (c) Public health .—Venereal disease and epide
mics are the chief enemies of the public health in
this province ; about 75% of the adult population is
said to have suffered or be suffering from venereal
disease. There are in addition the evil effects of
the opium habit.
During the year small-pox in the first case and
measles in the second, in an epidemic form, visited
Kerman, causing many deaths among the children.
The Central Government have recently appointed a
Health Officer to Kerman who runs a charitable
dispensary and supervises inoculation, but a good deal
has yet to be done.
41. (d) Municipal services .—Roads in the whole
town are in a miserable condition and no improve
-ini os stad ; h'A
.. oilt s ...s '
ments are yet contemplated. So far all that the
Municipality do is to put some lights in the main
bazaar and to provide a few sweepers and watermen :
still a part of the allotment finds its way to the
pockets of the officials concerned. The town is dirty
and the streets narrow, though in some cases en
croachments have been knocked down.
A new “ Khayaban ” has recently been Girted
causing demolition of many houses and a loss of
about 60,000 tumans to the owners. So far no com
pensation has been paid to the owners : the Khaya
ban is a zig-zag and not really fit for use by cars.
As the Municipality budget has since been raised,
some improvement may be expected.
