(a) There was practically no trade throughout the year
ovdng to the delays of post war reconversion in industries and
lack of shipping space®
(b) The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company^
Throughout the period under report there was no stock
shortage anywhere in the province of Kerman. This was parti-
-cularly gratifying in the case of lubricating oil of which
there is a world shortage.
The Lingeh Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. was re-established as from the 7th
May 194-6 and the Lar Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. was reopened on the 16th September.
Owing to availablity of ample transport, freight rates
were reduced.
The Chief Distributing Engineer visited Kenan and
Bandar Abbas towards the end of the year with a view to
choosing Suitable sites for bulk storage depots, filling stations,
garages and houses for their staff, and it is hoped before
long to have bulk oil facilities in this area.

M.3.B.3., continued to hold charge of the Hospital throughout
the year assisted by Dr, Miss K, Blackwood until the end of
March when she left on leave for Australia.
The Hospital continued to render most valuable service
to the community whose patients come from the remotest towns
in the province. Their work which affects about 75% of the local
sick could be greatly extended but the Hospital have always
been 5 hampered by a lack of funds in spite of which, however,
they have performed admirable work through the year.^ndofiKrBoec
