(a) GOVERNOR >
Dr. ii. Hissabi was Governor until April 29th
when he was relieved by Aqai Reza Fahimi who remained
in Bushire during the remainder of the year except for
6 weeks during the autumn disturbances. '

No new roads were built during the year and only
token repairs have been done except to the Bushire iihiraz
road which has been kept in reasonably good order.^ The ■
security of the roads has been fair except for a short
period of 3 weeks during the tribal revolt.
Inland telegraphic communication with the rest of
Persia was interrupted for almost 6 weeks during the revolt,
but communications with the or tside world have always
been possible through the Cable and tireless Coy.
(c) BJSHIHiS IJ111CIPALITY .
Husain Shabankarah has remained Mayor of Bushire
throughout the year except for a short period. Apart
from the Mayor who is appointed by Government and paid
out of Uunicipal funds, no member of the Municipality
ha3^any real power. As a result, the affairs oi the
Municipality have not progressed, xiuch money is stated
to have been spent but the results are not apparent.
(d ) v/agko a.itd coo j.' ql 1 .ul ■/1 - a .
As a result of lack of supervision, exhorbitant
profiteering and the high rate of interest on all loans^
prices of all commodities especially imported goods
have shown little tendency to drop, and in some cases
have even risen. ./ages have risen sharply, partly due
to delayed action to meet the higher cost of living and^
partly due to pressure by the Tudeh party. Cost of living
allowances etc. given to employees of the Persian Government
now almost equal their pay.
(e) The corruption and inefficiency of the local
Administration (especially the Central Government Dep
artments) is only equalled by the apathy of almost all
the local inhabitants and their inability to complain
against misgovernment.

During the period up to the middle of September,
there was a steady increase in tne activii-ies o^. uhe Tudeh
party, and a corresponding decline in the power of all
other parties. At the start of the year the Tudeh party
had little influence and few supporters and their activit
