AND ON
VACCINATION FOR THE YEAR 1914-1915.
SECTION I.—SANITATION AND VACCINATION.
METEOROLOGY AND ITS RELATION TO FOOD SUPPLY.
Rainfall in Ajmer.
1. During the year under report 19.62 inches of rain were registered in
Ajmer against 15.50 inches in 1913.
Owing to the scantines of the monsoon
rainfall during the last five years, i.e., since 1910 it did not provide sufficient
water in all tanks and wells throughout the district, and the ground water
level in the wells fell considerably.
Rainfall in Native States.
2. The rainfall recorded in Rajputana on the whole was satisfactory.
All wells and tanks were filled up; but on
account of unfavourable winds Khariff
Crops were not so good as anticipated. The out-turn of the Rabi Crops is
expected to be fairly good. Grass is abundant in all Native States.
New Instrument.
3. The Lawrence and Mayo self recording Raingauge was brought into use
at the Jaipur observatory from the 20th
April, 1914. It gives excellent tracings
on the charts which are being sent to the Meteorological Office, Simla, every
month for comparison with the records of the Common Raingauge there.
VITAL STATISTICS, BRITHS AND DEATHS.
Births in Ajmer-Merwara.
4. During the year under report 23,515 births were registered in Ajmer¬
Merwara against 21,656 in 1913, an
increase of 1,859 which may be ascribed
to improved general welfare among the people on account of good crops. Of
the total births registered 12,393 were males and 11,122 females, the birth rate
was 46.90 per mille of population against 43.19 per mille in the previous year.
The percentage of male to female births was 111.43 against 110.50 in 1913.
The birth rate exceeded the death rate by 16.57 per mille as compared with
17.34 in the previous year.
Deaths in Ajmer-Merwara.
5. The total number of deaths registered in this Division during the year
under report was 15,208 against 12,960 in
1913 an increase of 2,248 due to all causes
of deaths with the exception of Bowel Complaints and specially to fevers ;
Malarial fever being much more prevalent than in the preceding year, the
result of a heavier rainfall. The death rate per mille of population was 30.33
against 25.85 in the previous year.
6. The mortality among children under five years of age was 60 per cent.
of the total deaths against 54 per cent. in 1913.

dealt with by the authorities concerned.
14. The steam tramway now performs valuable work for all conservancy
purposes from the conservancy tramway station to the trenching ground.
15. Three incinerators are still in use and sanction for the construction of
several more has been accorded but they have not yet been erected.
16. One two seated galvanized iron latrine, one four seated and two two
seated urinals have been provided in the Suburbs and one one seated urinal
in the City.
17. The Sanitary arrangements are insufficient and very backward and
required special attention of the Municipal Department.
18. Beawar.—The supply of water from Jalia is good and ample. It is
under consideration to give connection to private dwellings.
19. There are signs of steady improvement in the matter of sanitation.
20. The Conservancy Inspector has arrived after training at the Medical
College, Lucknow, and it is hoped that he will supervise this work more
satisfactorily.
NATIVE STATES.
21. Jaipur.—The city conservancy tramway worked satisfactorily through-
out the year. Rubbish and city sweepings are burnt in incinerators. 74 latrines
were newly constructed and 19 old latrines were repaired.
22. As reported by the Superintending Engineer the following steady
improvement has been made in the Conservancy arrangements for the Jaipur
City :—
(1) The pavement of the bottom of the Causeway of Gundah Nullah in
the Residency Ram Bagh Road was repaired, the old pavement
being sunk deep in the bed of the Nullah.
(2) The channel draining water of the ground round the Theatre and
of Tuksal Bazaar had silted up, they were redug to allow of
unobstructed flow of water into the Raja Mull's tank.
23. Jodhpur.—The tanks and wells in Jodhpur city and most districts were
fairly well filled and consequently there was no deficiency of water supply
throughout the year.

37. During the year under report the vaccination work inspected by
Residency or Agency Surgeons in Native States was very small which is due to
the fact that many officers of the Indian Medical Service were transferred to
military duty on account of the war on the commencement of the vaccination
season.
38. The Native Superintendents of Vaccination or other inspecting
officers inspected 107,157 vaccinations against 110,850 in 1913-14. The per-
centage of inspected cases found successful among the total number seen in 1914-
15 was 98.79 against 98.50 in 1913-14.
39. Lymph is kept up throughout the year in most of the important
States by arm to arm vaccination ; glycerinated vaccine lymph was obtained
during the year from the Government Bovine Lymph Depôts and was
generally successful.
40. The Residency Surgeon writes that Buffalo Calf Lymph was prepared
at the Mayo Hospital Bacteriological Laboratory, Jaipur, for vaccination work
and the result was good. 447 children were vaccinated with the lymph of whom
389 were successful, 28 with result unknown and 30 unsuccessful. Proposals
have been made to the State Council that with a small extra cost it could be
supplied all over the district to do away with arm to arm vaccination.

was R22,640 against R24,158 in 1913 ; this decrease of R1,518 is partly due to
the fact that in 1913, certain arrears of contributions were received and in 1914
certain Indian subscribers have not yet paid their contributions. The value of
