master, with him with the object of holding an enquiry into the cirpum-
^ stances of the disappearance of certain packets of Indian currency notes
from the Bandar Abbas Post Office Registration bag for which WAJDI
was believed to be responsible.
No finding of the so-called enquiry has hitherto been announced.
Telegraphs .—Since May 10 th, the Persian office has dealt with tele
grams in foreign languages intended for places in Persia. The service has
not proved quite satisfactory and messages are often considerably delayed
in transmission. Moreover, the operators do not appear to be acquainted
with any foreign language.
Telephone .—The local merchants have subscribed for the construction
of a telephone line connecting BANDAR ABBAS with the town of
MINAB situated 48 miles to the east.
It is expected that the service will be established in 1929 and adminis
tered by the General Telephone Company in Persia.

master during the year. His administration was satisfactory.

Some slight improvement was observed in the state of the town since
the arrival of the new Governor AGHA SYED ABDULLAH KHAN.

for ventilation. The old mat roofs have been removed to enable the sun to
penetrate.
The sanitation of the town generally has been entrusted to the Persian
Quarantine Doctor, who is now in charge of the Health Department of the
whole district.
Meetings of the Municipal Committee are held twice weekly to discuss
the affairs of the town.

Police Department.
Bandar Ahbas .—In July, the strength of the local police was brought
up to ,30 men under the command of a Naib. Nevertheless, the establish
ment of regulaj; police here instead *of Tufangchis has not as yet justified
the innovation, and no greater security to life and property has been afford
ed to the inhabitants.
Lingah .—Thirteen men were recruited at Bandar Abbas and the
strength of the town police is now* 25 men and one officer.
Amnieh .—Hitherto no Amnieh guards have been stationed here, but
