press .—There are now only two papers being published in Kerman. Their
tone towards British interests continued to be normal till the propaganda against
the Anglo-Persian Oil Company was started in Tehran. Since then the local
papers have published articles on the same lines as those appearing in
the Tehran press.
11. Health and General Welfare .—The Health authorities have, made
endeavours to improve the sanitation of the town and the unhealthy practices are
being checked to a certain extent. Dr. Sohrab was the Health Officer m tie
Kerman province at the end of the year.
An epidemic of typhus fever broke out in Kerman in January, and only died
down in Julv. The disease was almost entirely limited to the poor where it ran
through whole families taking all members together, or one after another m
turn. Despite frequent cases of marked hyperpyrexia, the disease had a low
mortalitv, broadly speaking only weaklings and aged folk succumbing to it.
During the epidemic the Church Missionary Society staff treated over 600
patients and great credit is due to Dr. C. E. Dodson for his endeavours. Other
than the effects of the above epidemic, the health of the town on the whole
remained good till the end of the year when influenza appeared m a mild iorm.
12. Russian Trade Interests.—The Soviet Trade Representation in Kerman
gave an exhibition of their agricultural tools and implements in January but did
not create much impression on the cultivators.
In May the Soviet Consul-General, Isfahan, visited Kerman to attend the
onening ceremony of the electric light installation in which he displayed gr ea
interest.
The Soviet Trade Representation closed down in Kerman in the month of
September, transferring their headquarters to Bandar Abbas.
Sheikh Abul Kassim Harandi has continued to remain as the Russian Sales
Agent in Kerman throughout the year.
13 Milit ary and Conscription. —The Kerman column which had proceeded
to Basimkird during the latter part of 1931 to reduce Abdul Hussem Kamerau
returned to headquarters in April without accomplishing its object Anothei
column despatched in November on-the same mission is so far reported to ha\ e
not met with any success.
The discipline of the military force in the province is commendable.
Sarhang Mohammad Khan Maimand was commanding the Kerman Brigade at
the end of the year.

the Conscription Department throughout the year A fresh enquiry by
official resulted into a number of exempted persons being called upon to enlist.
