Persian National Bank. —Mr. Stanislav Stehno was removed from the
Managership of the Kerman branch early in the year for acting too much on his
own initiative. His successor Herr Meyer, influenced by his predecessor’s fate,
went to the opposite extreme. In fact Persians using a well-known expression
said that he had to refer to Tehran before he could even have a drink of water.
This practice has continued and the resulting delays which attend the simplest
of transactions engender a feeling of contempt among the public.
In April the National Bank was authorized by Tehran to collect defective
silver coins under certain conditions,
The National Bank opened a branch at Rafsinjan in September and the
question of opening branches at Bam and Sirj an also came under consideration
during the latter part of the year but has been turned down for the present.
Police—Yawsn Seyyid Sadiq Khan was the Chief of Police at the end of the
year. The Police force in Kerman is too small in number to cope with the require
ments of the province.
The only important event concerning this Department was the change of their
uniform which is commented on infavourably by the public.
Justice, —The Istinaf (Appeal) Court was dnriig the year allowed to act as a
Court of Tamiz (High Court of Appeal) for cases decided by the Bidayat Court
(Court of the First Instance). The Sulhieh (Small Cause) Court has only one
Judge, who, though well reputed, is unable to cope with the large amount of work
accumulated. The Sulhieh Court hears civil cases up to a limit of Tumans 500
and also criminal cases of small importance and it is therefore to this Court that
the majority of cases go. The British subjects and firms also suffer delay in
settlement of their claims on this account.
Posts and Telegraphs.—N&w Post Offices were opened during the year at
Jiruft and Rudbar.

At the time of the Shah’s arrival in November all the School boys had turned
out in new dresses lining the road leading to the Government House and cheered
