. Production is hampered by a shortage of
olive oil. It is understood that efforts are being made to obtain supplies overland
from Turkey, Syria and Palestine.
V.—MILITARY AND MARINE.
Sarhang II Izazi was in command of the garrison up to November when he was
removed from his post following the theft of some military stores fiom S. S. Hilda
when under military guard.
The troops moved up to the Ginu hills as usual for the hot weather but their
stay was cutjshort owing to the number of deaths occurring among the troops there.
Security. —As usual there were a number of raids on outlying villages in the
Minab district during the date harvesting season. A small gang attempted to
hold up a motor car by night in which the Kerman manager of the A. I. 0. C. was
travelling to Bandar Abbas by placing stones across the road near the Tangi Zagh
pass. The car managed to pass qyer the stones with slight dainage bpt a lorry
coming behind was unable to dp sq and was looted. It is believed that this gang
was successfully rounded up ; th^re were no other reports of interference on the
Kerman-Bandar Abbas road. There were fewer reports of hold-ups on the Bandar
Abbas-Lar road, but this route cannot yet h© regarded as safe.
Iranian Navy.—M\ units visited Bandar Abbas at various times during the
year.
VI.—COMMUNICATIONS.
Roads. —No new roads were completed or under construction in the Bandar
Abbas district during 1940. The construction of a motor road to Minab is still in
abeyance. A contract has been given for improving the road leading into Bandar
Abbas from the east; an improvement which is badly needed.
Wireless. —There is no wireless station at Bandar Abbas.
A viation.—No aeroplane landed at Bandar Abbas during the year and no steps
were taken to maintain this emergency landing ground in a serviceable condition.
It is understood that the Farmandar was instructed to find a suitable site for a new
landing ground and has selected an area about 6 miles east of the town. Efe esti
mates the cost of making this new landing ground at rials 400,000 (£2,200). Pro
bably a quarter of this sum would suffice to enlarge and put in good condition the
existing ground but it happens to be adjoining the British Consulate while the new
site is near the military barracks, a circumstance which may be regarded as a
sufficient justification for otherwise unnecessary expenditure.
Shipping. —The B. I. S. N. Co.’s subsidiary mail service steamers called at this
port wnekly (with a few exceptions) throughout the year. In addition 34 vessels
with an aggregate of 129,497 tons entered and cleared at the port as follows :—
