GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
SANITATION.
CALCUTTA, THE 13TH AUGUST 1914.
RESOLUTION—No. 792 San.
READ—
The reports of the Sanitary Commissioner, the Sanitary Board and the Sanitary Engineer, Bengal,
for the year 1913.
Read also—
The Triennial Report on Vaccination in Bengal for the years 1911-12 to 1913-14.
MAJOR W. W. CLEMESHA, I.M.S., was in charge of the office of the
Sanitary Commissioner, Bengal, for the whole of the year under review.
Mr. G. B. Williams held the post of Sanitary Engineer except for the
period from the 8th August to the 3rd October 1913 during which he was
on privilege leave, and Mr. A. G. Maflin, Assistant Sanitary Engineer,
officiated.
2. Climatic conditions.—The rainfall in February was above the
average, while in March and April it was generally deficient. May was
very wet, especially in Eastern Bengal. The monsoon rains commenced on
the 12th of June and the rainfall was on the whole well distributed. In the
early part of August heavy rain fell in Bihar and Chota Nagpur, causing
disastrous floods in the Damodar river which submerged large tracts in the
Howrah, Hooghly and Burdwan districts. The Contai, Ghatal and Tamluk
subdivisions and parts of Bankura and Birbhum also suffered severely
from inundation. Contrary to expectation these floods did not give rise to
outbreaks of cholera and malaria, but appear to have had a salutary effect
in flushing and cleansing insanitary tanks and villages.
3. Births and deaths.—Both birth and death rates declined, the
figures being 33.75 and 29.38 per mille as compared with 35.30 and 29.77
per mille in 1912. The decrease in the number of births is attributed to
the high prices of food-grains in 1912 and to the general unhealthiness of
that year. The decrease in the death-rate was mainly under the heads
" Cholera " and " Other causes." These rates compare less favourably with
those of other Provinces than in the previous year ; the excess of 198,053
births over the number of deaths is, however, satisfactory. From a
comparison of the divisional statistics it appears that Dacca and Chittagong
had the lowest death-rates, while Rajshahi and Chittagong had the highest
birth-rates. On the whole, Chittagong maintained its place as the healthiest
division although it showed a large increase in cholera mortality, the death-
rate from this disease being higher in Noakhali than in any other district.
Infantile mortality shows a slight decrease, the death-rate being
20.95 per cent. as against 21.23 in 1912. Calcutta has again headed the
list, the districts of Jalpaiguri and Burdwan now occupying the second
and third places respectively.
The further rise of prices in 1913 has pressed heavily on the poorer
classes, who find it difficult to purchase the necessaries of life. The Sanitary
Commissioner anticipates a further drop in the birth-rate for 1914.

made since the close of the year. The Governor in Council hopes that the
improvement in the progress of works under construction will continue, and
that municipalities will not be slow to make full use of the facilities that
are now offered for the preparation and carrying out of sanitary schemes.
No reasonable assistance in the shape of grants will be refused.
10. Staff.—At the beginning of the year there was only one Deputy
Sanitary Commissioner, but three officers were subsequently appointed for
the Dacca, Rajshahi and Burdwan Circles. There was, however, only one
special officer for the malaria investigation work during the greater part
of the year, as the officer sent to relieve Major Fry was appointed to one of
the additional posts of Deputy Sanitary Commissioner.
11. The Bengal Municipal (Sanitary Officers) Act was passed after the
close of the year under report, and steps are now being taken to extend it
to municipalities. Six Health Officers and one Sanitary Inspector were
appointed last year, and classes are being held for the training of Sanitary
Inspectors to meet the requirements of municipalities.
12. In conclusion the Governor in Council desires to place on record
his appreciation of the excellent work done during the past year by Major
W. W. Clemesha, Sanitary Commissioner, Mr. G. B. Williams, Sanitary
Engineer, and Major Fry and Dr. Bentley, Deputy Sanitary Commissioners.

Animal Vaccination Depôt.
13. Altogether 2,454 against 2,212 calves were vaccinated in the
Animal Vaccine Depôt during the year and the
quantity of lymph manufactured was 772.587
against 744,054 grains. From the commencement of the last vaccination
season the whole Presidency, as it now stands, was supplied with lymph from
the Calcutta Animal Vaccine Depôt, and no lymph from the Shillong Depôt
was required. Much difficulty was experienced during the year owing to the
non-receipt of glass tubes and lanoline from England on account of the war.
Out of 600 gross of tubes ordered only 245 gross were received. By
collecting old tubes from Civil Surgeons, however, the despatch of lymph is
being maintained. But if this state of things continues the work is likely to
suffer.
14. Different methods of Vaccination.—During the year under report
10,630 primary operations were performed with lymph direct from calves,
1,097,546 with lanoline lymph and 28,836 with glycerinated lymph including
those performed in Calcutta, against 21,149, 595,642, and 955,768 respectively
during 1913-14. This year the districts in Rajshahi, Dacca and Chittagong
Divisions which previously used to obtain glycerinated lymph from the
Shillong Animal Vaccine Depôt was supplied with lanoline lymph issued
from the Calcutta Depôt. Arm-to-arm vaccination has been practically done
away with in all the districts except in Darjeeling where only 867 operations
were performed under this process. The rate of success under each of these
four methods was 96.81, 96.58. 97.79 and 92.73 respectively against 97.69,
98.76, 98.13 and 94.91 during the previous year.
The number of revaccination under each of the above processes was
20,577, 354,036, 86,136 and nil, respectively, the ratio of success being 70.40,
63.13, and 33.99, as compared with 50.98, 55.70 and 63.76 during 1913-14.
15. Inspections.—During the year Dr. R. B. Khambata, Deputy Sanitary
Commissioner of the Rajshahi Circle, inspected 2,456 operations. His
inspection was limited to the Jalpaiguri district, as he had to act
as Civil Surgeon of that district in addition to his own duties. Dr. M.
E. Sufi, Deputy Sanitary Commissioner of the Dacca Circle, inspected 59,864
cases. The Civil Surgeons inspected 49,011 or 3.07 per cent. of the total
number of operations performed in the Presidency ; 12 of them inspected
from 2,000 to 5,000 operations ; 7 from 1,000 to 2,000 ; and 8 below 1,000
cases. The Civil Surgeon of Howrah did not inspect any case and the Civil
Surgeon of Serampore inspected only 43 cases.
The Vaccination Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors inspected 370,752 and
649,966 cases or 23.26 and 40.79 per cent. respectively of the total operations
performed in the Presidency.
Generally each Inspector of Vaccination
inspected the work of all the vaccinators under him once during the season.
and each Sub-Inspector twice.
