Compared with the previous year, there was an increase of one Superinten-
dent and one Inspector, and a decrease of three Deputy Superintendents, two
head vaccinators, 41 vaccinators (which includes 29 in the municipalities and
dispensaries), 15 apprentices, and 110 licensed vaccinators. The additional
Superintendent belongs to Calcutta, in the place of the Superintendent-General;
and the additional inspector is the one who was entertained to superintend
the licensed vaccinators who carried on operations for the first time in Julpai-
goree, in the Darjeeling Circle.
The Superintendent of the Eastern Bengal Circle complains that his estab-
lishment is numerically weak for the enlarged area under operation, and that
he requires an additional inspector for the effectual supervision of operations,
and one clerk for the quicker despatch of clerical work.
Conduct of Establishment.
8. The reports show that on the whole the conduct of the Establish-
ment was good. Deputy Superintendent Ram
Chunder Mitter and the head vaccinators of the
Calcutta Circle, the Deputy Superintendent of the licensed vaccinators
in the Ranchi Circle, and Deputy Superintendent Tajummul Hossein of the
Darjeeling Circle, are specially mentioned as having done good work and
afforded every satisfaction. The last named officer is again recommended for
increase of pay or promotion. On the other hand, the conduct of the Deputy
Superintendent and one head vaccinator of the Eastern Bengal Circle, of one
head vaccinator in Orissa, and of inspector Mahomed Jan and inspecting
vaccinator Mahomed Ishak, is highly condemned. The special manner in
which they misconducted themselves and were punished is stated in the
abstracts of the reports of these circles. Several vaccinators are stated to
have behaved badly, and were punished.
