114 Aqai Rest, said to be a naturalised
Persian subject originally white Russian, and an
official of the Transport Section of the Bhiraz
Cereal and Bread Department, arrived from Shiraz
to discuss with local officials the likely cereal
requirements of Bushire for the coming year. er
discussion with H.M.Consul and o^her officials he
reported to the former that the demands of Bushire
and other towns of the Shahristan were expected to
be about 4,000 tons but that the surplus expected
from agricultural areas was 4,400 tons so that a
present it did not appear that it would be necessary
to import wheat from outside into the Bushire areas.
Aqai Hast said he would recommend that contracts
be riven for the 4,000 tons required. . H.ii.Consul
said that it was essential to give the contracts to
local men over whom Bushire authorities had some
control and not to unknown and, on last year s
experience, unreliable strangers from Shiraz. Aqai
Hast said he entirely agreed with this. it is
possible that would-be contractors have afforded
him more solid grounds for this welcome conviction
than H.M.Consul 1 s persuasion.
LOCAL AFFAIRS .
115 The Finance Department commenced the
sale of cloth to the public allowing each person
to buy 3 metres per coupon. The cioth was of such
inferior quality and high price that dissatisfaction
among the public arose and a complaint was made to
the Governor that the Government cloth proper had
hppn sold bv the Department and cheap bazaar cloth
substituted! The governor visited the Customs
where it seems that some substitution had tak en
place. Investigation continues.
