PART IV— SUBORDINATE STAFF.
Numerical strength.—Table VII.
29. At the close of the year Subordinate Veterinary Staff consisted
of 28 men as detailed below or two less
than the sanctioned scale. This is due
to two Veterinary Assistants having been detailed for Military duty. No
temporary men could be obtained in their places.

During the year under report one Veterinary Assistant died and another
was transferred to the North Punjab Circle, both these vacancies were filled
by new men. One Veterinary Assistant was added to the cadre of the
Subordinate Veterinary Staff and thus the sanctioned scale is now 30 men.
Training of local men in the Punjab Veterinary
College.
30. At the close of the year only one candidate deputed from Hazara
District was studying in the Punjab
Veterinary College.
Work of Subordinate Staff.
31. The work of Subordinate Veterinary Staff has with some few
exceptions been good. The charges
of the Veterinary Inspectors, especially
that of the Veterinary Inspector Bannu Circle, are much too extensive and
it is hoped that an increase in Inspectorships may soon be brought about.
PART V.—EXPENDITURE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
32. The expenditure of the Department is given in Table XIV-A.
The figures are as usual supplied by the Accountant-General, Punjab, and
North-West Frontier Province. Rs. 55,952 were spent, against Rs. 65,706
in the previous year. The decrease appears chiefly due to the abandonment
of certain horse and cattle fairs mentioned elsewhere.
GENERAL REMARKS.
It is satisfactory to note that a separate Superintendent for the North-
West Frontier Province has been sanctioned and it is hoped that the separa-
tion of the double charges may soon take place. At present although the
Superintendent can manage to tour around his extensive double charge he
is obliged to tour very quickly and cannot carry out the work as thoroughly
as he would like to. At present the Superintendent is so fully occupied with
administrative and clerical work that he has little or no opportunity to do
any professional work.
Clerical work continues to increase in spite of efforts being made to
keep it down and of alteration in office administration routine with the object of
reducing and simplifying clerical work. During the year under report 2,902
more letters were received and 317 more were despatched than in the
previous year.
Several leaflets on professional subjects were prepared and issued
to the staff.
Difficulty is being experienced in finding sufficient trained men to fill
vacancies in the cadre and in getting suitable students to come forward for
training.
It is not possible to pick and choose applicants or to retain only good
men in the service.
(8)
The reason for this state of affairs appears to be the smallness-
of prospects and the recent lengthening of the period of study and the raising
of the standard of general education required without a corresponding increase
of pay and prospects.
On the outbreak of the present war II Veterinary Assistants (out of
which 2 were taken for Military duty) and one Veterinary Inspector volunteered
for Military Service and the staff generally showed readiness to do their
part if called on.
There were 49 complaints against Patwaris for reporting contagious
diseases late or not at all. Last year they were 30.
Miramshah Veterinary Hospital was looted and the greater part of the
equipment destroyed during the raid on the Miramshah Bazar. The damage
has since been made good.
The work of the clerical staff although very heavy, has been very
satisfactorily done.
Attention is drawn to the remarks on breeding.
The Superintendent wishes to record his thanks to District and Agency
officials for the assistance given to him and to his staff in the course of
their work.

village headman, and it is very doubtful whether an increase in efficiency would
result. The existing arrangement appears on the whole adequate if properly
worked.
6. The number of hospitals was 19 as before. 56,003 animals were treat-
ed in these institutions against 58,617 cases last year. Though less touring was
performed by Veterinary Assistants, they treated 16,728 animals as compared
with 14,955 animals and performed 687 castrations on tour against 501 last year.
The quantity of work shows an increase, therefore, which the Chief Commis-
sioner is glad to observe in view of the falling off noticed in the last
review. Additions and extensions to certan hospitals are still wanted and these
should receive the attention of Local Bodies in due course.
7. No progress has been made in breeding operations during the year.
The Province had two horse stallions and one donkey stallion less than the
sanctioned number, though there were 11 stud bulls at work as compared with
eight last year. The Chief Commissioner, however, does not anticipate much
improvement in this branch of the work of the Department until the closer
attention, which it requires, can be devoted to it on the appointment of a
whole-time Superintendent for the Province.
8. Horse Shows and Cattle Fairs were held during the year in all the
districts except Dera Ismail Khan, where, owing to scarcity of fodder, no show
could be arranged. Shows were generally well attended and the gatherings
continued popular. The expenditure involved is not very large and we can
afford to wait for definite results to manifest themselves in the improvement
of stock.
9. Mr. Meadows held charge of the Department throughout the year.
The record of work performed by him, which is given in Part I of his Report,
shows that he has endeavoured as far as possible to cope with his dual charge
and the acknowledgments of the Chief Commissioner are due to him for his
administration of the Department.
ORDER.—Ordered, that a copy of the Report and Review be submitted
to the Government of India in the Revenue and Agriculture Department, and
that copies be circulated for information.
By order of the Hon'ble the Chief Commissioner
and Agent to the Governor- General,
D. B. BLAKEWAY,
Revenue Secretary to the Chief Commissioner,
