CHAPTER IV.
Administration report of the Constjlar District of Bandar Areas and Lixgah
for The year 1933.
Personnel.
Tlis Majesty’s Consul.—Captain C. H. Lincoln, O.B.E., held charge through-
out the year.
Local Government.
Bandar Abbas.— Ismail Khan Bahadur held the charge of Governorate
for the whole year under report.
As per last year’s report, the Governor is invariably the President of the
Municipality and as such he has in reality no administrative duties, as all the
different departments are now in existence with their respective powers.
Although steady and cautious, being in the past a military officer, he
generally lacks the talent of a civil officer and therefore is to a certain extent
unpopular with the Municipal Board of which he is the President.
Undoubtedly he has shown energetic activities in connection with the
improvement of the town, especially the construction of a Khyaban (avenue)
and water supply through the qanat system. But lack of funds has unfor
tunately suspended work for the former, and for the latter he is doing his utmost
for the funds for its completion.
His Excellency Mirza Ali Asghar Khan Taleqani, Governor of the Gulf
ports, visited Bandar Abbas, Minab, Kishm and Henjam in June.
A party of Government Inspectors consisting of eight officials with Sartip
Abdul Hassan Pour-e-Zand, as head of the Commission, arrived from Tehran
and Kerman on the 3rd and proceeded by Naval Motor Dhow to Jask on the
5th and Charbar on the 14th January 1934. During their stay at Charbar,
they were engaged in making enquiries into various reports and complaints
made by the local officials to their respective departments against each other,
the chief causes of unrest, and the exodus of nearly a thousand inhabitants from
Charbar to British Baluchistan, which, it appears, have aroused the attention
of the higher authorities in Tehran. They have removed Sultan Jangju, the
Officer Commanding and Aqai Sepasdar, the Director of Customs at Charbar,
who are said to be the important men and chief cause of turmoil. Further, a
large quantity of suuar, foreign liouor and cigarettes, which were imported by
the overland route from Gwadur by Sultan Jangju and stored in Military
godowns were confiscated through the help of the Customs officials there. As
a result of this, Sultan Jangju was arrested and detained in the Military
barracks at Bandar Abbas prior to his and the Director of Customs, Oharbar,
being sent to Bushire for trial.
The Commission returned to Bandar Abbas from Charbar on the 25th
January 1934. During their stay they have inspected all the departments,
and finally left for Lingah on the 8 th February 1934.
. Military Commission consisting of two officers came from Tehran to
inspect Military and Amnieh Departments.
During the latter part of the Persian year 1312, two batches of Govern
ment Inspectors one headed by Sartip Abdul Hassan Khan Pourezand and the
second by Sartip Abdul Reza Khan Afkhami visited the place to inspect the
"workings of the departments, specially the Military and the Conscription.
