The gross expenditure of the Institute for the year amounted to Rs. 42,447
or an increase of Rs. 1,532 on that of the last year.
The increase was mainly under two items, viz., (a) war allowance to Estab-
lishment Rs. 2,600 and (b) increase in amount of food and fodder for calves and
enhanced prices of the same—Rs. 2,169—and was in part counterbalanced by
decrease (Rs. 2,396) in the amount of salary drawn by the Director during
absence on leave. The net expenditure (deducting the unusually high sale-
proceeds) is Rs. 7,765 as compared with Rs. 30,190 in the year previous.
The case and insertion success rates with Belgaum lymph were 99.68 and
97.64 respectively against 99.77 and 98.05 in 1917-18.

Cost of vaccination (Appendix I,
Statement II).
13. The total cost of vaccination came to Rs. 3,87,280 against
Rs. 3,81,828 in the previous year. The increase was
due to the grant of war allowance, to rise in salaries
and to contingencies, the total of which items out-
weighs the large increase in sale-proceeds referred to in paragraph 11. The cost
of each successful case of vaccination was annas ten and pies nine against
annas nine last year.
Inspection work of the Deputy
Sanitary Commissioners and In-
spectors.
14. The Deputy Sanitary Commissioners inspected 13,108 vaccinated
persons or 2.25 per cent. in 404 towns and villages
and travelled 26,266 miles. The Inspectors of Sanita-
tion and Vaccination inspected 242,228 vaccinated
persons in 10,076 towns and villages. Thus the result of 255,336 vaccinations
or 43.76 per cent. were checked by examination. The success rate for
primary vaccination as ascertained by the Deputy Sanitary Comnnssioners was
98.67 and by Inspectors 99.00. The amount of inspection work by Deputy
Sanitary Commissioners was less this year on account of the permanent
incumbents' absence.
