MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENT.
SANITATION.
DACCA, THE 12th JULY 1913.
RESOLUTION—No. 5 T.—San.
READ—
The Reports of the Sanitary Commissioner and the Sanitary Board, Bengal, for the year 1912.
Read also—
The annual statistical returns and short notes on Vaccination in Bengal for the year 1912-13.
MAJOR W. W. CLEMESHA, I.M.S., and Mr. G. B. Williams held the post
of Sanitary Commissioner and Sanitary Engineer, respectively, throughout
the year.
2. Climate.—The early part of the year was characterised by an
abnormally low rainfall, and, except in April, most districts suffered from
the want of rain. With the advent of the monsoon conditions changed,
and although the fall was then erratic it was more or less above the average
in the majority of districts. Although it is stated that the account of the
rainfall has been inserted in the report in view of the intimate connection
between rainfall and general health, the effect of the variations in the rainfall
on general health has not been discussed, and it is somewhat difficult there-
fore to understand how far the variations in the birth and death rates in
the different districts have been affected by the abnormal rainfall at the
different seasons of the year. The death rate has increased, mainly owing
to greater mortality from fever and cholera, and the Governor in Council
would have been glad to know how far, if at all. this increase was due
to unusual variations in the rainfall.
3. Birth and death rates.—The birth rate shows an increase, 1.600,335
births being registered during the year as compared with 1,585,187 in
1911. The increase is slight, and would probably have been greater but
for the high price of food-grains. Agricultural conditions were on the
whole good, but the high level of prices has been maintained, and it is
feared that this is more than likely to arrest the natural growth of
the population. There was also a rise in mortality, 1,349,779 deaths being
recorded as against 1,221,580 in the former year. Fever and cholera were
primarily responsible for this increase.
With a birth rate of 35.30 per mille and a death rate of 29.77 the
Presidency of Bengal as now constituted does not compare unfavourably
with other provinces of the Empire. The birth rate is somewhat lower
than that of most other provinces, but its death rate is also lower, and the
excess of births over deaths is considerable. A comparison of the statistics
for the various divisions of the province points to the Chittagong Division
as being the healthiest division. The birth rate is higher in the Eastern
Bengal divisions of the province than in the Burdwan and Presidency
Divisions, but the Rajshahi Division, which shows the highest birth rate in
the province, also returns the highest death rate.
A disquieting feature is the high rate of infantile mortality in certain
districts. Calcutta has hitherto returned the highest death rate among
infants, but this has been surpassed by the Jalpaiguri and Dinajpur districts
where the rate has risen as high as 28.69 and 26.26, respectively.

The progress of work in the Sanitary Engineer's office reflects great
credit on Mr. Williams and his staff. It is evident, however, that the exist-
ing engineering staff is quite inadequate for the work of the department. The
appointment of a second Assistant Sanitary Engineer has been sanctioned and
will shortly be filled. The further strengthening of the staff is now under
the consideration of Government. The question of the position and duties of
the Sanitary Board and of the Sanitary Engineer and the relationship between
them is also under examination.
10. Staff.—During the year the Sanitary Commissioner had the assist-
ance of only one Deputy Sanitary Commissioner excluding the two special
officers engaged on malaria investigations. It has however been recognized
that in view of the exacting nature of his duties and the unwieldy size of
his charge, one officer is quite insufficient. and it has been decided that four
Deputy Sanitary Commissioners should be entertained for this Presidency.
Since the close of the year two Indian officers have been appointed and the
fourth officer is expected at an early date. These officers will each hold
charge of one of the four Sanitary Circles into which the Presideney is now
divided.
11. Steps are now being taken to give effect to the scheme for the
appointment of Health Officers and trained Sanitary Inspectors in municipal-
ities which has been under consideration in recent years. A Bill has been
introduced into the Legislative Council to amend the Bengal Municipal Act so
as to provide for the appointment of such officers in mufassal municipalities.
A class for the training of Sanitary Inspectors has been opened in Calcutta.
It is hoped that the entertainment of these officers will result in a consider-
able and much needed improvement in the conservancy and sanitation of
municipal areas.

systematic inspection of vaccination by the superior officers of the Department,
the want of which was so keenly felt by myself and my predecessors.
Already many abuses practised by the vaccinators and the Inspectors and
Sub-Inspectors of Vaccination have been brought to light and prompt
measures are being taken to remedy these. In some of the Eastern Bengal
districts, specially Bakarganj, inaccurate figures have been for years furnished
to swell the number of vaccinations in the returns, whereas on close inspection
it appears that actually very little work was done. This is a serious matter
and it is no wonder that mortality from small-pox has gone on increasing in
these districts during the past five years. It is urgently necessary to take
strong measures to put a stop to the abuses referred to. I have already in
a separate communication asked for Government sanction to the entertain-
ment of two special Supervising Officers who will help the Deputy Sanitary
Commissioner in carrying out the necessary reforms.
