Iii ike spring a mild, relatively speaking, recrudescence of typhus fever
occurred in Kerman, starting in early February and fizzling out m early April,
and some tvphoid cases were also brought to notice. No further epidemics
occurred until measles broke out in early December, as usual amongst the
children, and was still in full force at the end of the year, claiming many lives
in the bitter winter months.
One of the improvements effected by the e^-Governor-General was the
closing up, in the middle of the year, of bathing tanks in the public baths and
fixing taps thereto.
As the result of complaints made to Tehran, however, by certain sections
of the orthodox inhabitants, on the ground that religious ablutions could not be
nerformed under the new arrangement, orders were received eventually at the
latter part of the year to have these taps removed. Most of the baths, however,
retain the newly introduced shower bath arrangement.
A telegram was received by the Governor-General in the beginning of
November to the effect that the pay of the various Health Departments had
been struck off the general budget from the 1st of that month and that the res
pective Municipalities would have to make arrangement for the payment of the
Health services in their own areas from that date onwards.
Considering the already impoverished condition of the Kerman Munici
pality funds, it is feared that the Health arrangements m this province will
suffer badly unless the decision is re-considered by the Central Government.
