Several mails between Kerman and Tehran were delayed on account of snow
and the consequent blockade of the roads during January and February, and
similar interruption occurred in the case of the mail service between Kerman
and Bandar Abbas, owing to the Tang-i-Zagh getting blocked, ai the latter
part of the year, when mails took as long as six days to reach each destination.
The mail services between Kerman and the other post offices within the
province were on the whole fairly regular.
(d) Wireless. —The wireless station in Kerman, though not open to the
public, was kept in Avorking order throughout the^ year and has been used for
keeping up regular communications between the military authorities in Kerman
and KliAvash since the end of November.
(e) Aviation. —No aeroplanes have visited Kerman during the last three
years, and the tAvo aerodromes situated to the east and N. N. W. of the city
'(both at a distance of about 5 miles) have remained neglected.

8. Condition of the country.—The maintenance of law and order has
continued to improve steadily throughout the province.
News regarding the capture by the Government forces of the fort at Muzaijan

Rumours at the end of October regarding raids by gangs of Baluchis in
the outskirts of the province, and the murder by the raiders of certain camelmen
and road-guards, caused considerable alarm^
Militarv detachments were promptly sent out from Kerman and the situa
tion was said to be well under control by the end of the year. f l he only
persistent opposition met by the Government troops continues to be^in the
district of Bashakird, where Abdul Hussein Kamran is still defying the Govern
ment authority.
Inspectors from the various Government departments visited Kerman
during the year and cases of corruption and extortion, when brought to light,
were dealt Avith drastically.
9. Local officials and departments. —His Excellency Mirza Abul Hasson
Khan Peernia continued to hold the post
Governor-General. of Governor-General throughout the year.
Thou Hi always keen on development schemes, Peernia has not been able to
effe^fmany noteAvorthy improvements, excepting the construction or a small
public park in Kerman and the cutting of new roads through the towns oi
Rafsinjan and S'irjan.
The collection of the town beggars in the winter months, during the last
two years, and providing them with free board and lodging, from funds obtained
by subscription, is also one of Peernia’s achievements.
He is a man with \ T ery good intentions and is remarkably free from corrupt
tion, his mere presence having a checking influence on the other big officials.
Peernia is a man of good presence, polite and fairly polished, and his rela--
tions with H. M.’s Consulate have always been courteous,
