be completely mobile within his circle. The Provincial Government
should attempt only the control of contagious diseases. The treatment
of ordinary diseases should be considered a legitimate function of the
District Councils and Municipalities which should be encouraged to
open dispensaries for the sale of simple drugs and antiseptics and
for the treatment of common ailments of animals, the Provincial
Government lending or training the staff for the purpose. I would
strongly oppose any proposal to transfer the control of contagious
disease to the District Councils. In the case of the two most dangerous
diseases in England this experiment was tried, but was not successful and
the control has had to pass back into the hands of the Ministry of
Agriculture. The above, in brief, is the plan which I am referring for
discussion to the experts of the department and to Commissioners and
Deputy Commissioners. The alternative will be to revert to the previous
scheme of vernacular instruction and a large cadre of poorly paid
Veterinary Assistants with possibly for their better control a larger staff
of Provincial officers. As pointed out in a previous paragraph it has
been necessary to stop recruitment of students for a year until a policy
has been worked out.
29. I have to express my thanks to all the members of the superior
staff for their help during the year. The following members of the
Provincial and Subordinate Veterinary Services have been recommended
for commendation by their superior officers and I support their com-
mendations : U Aung Tun U, as Veterinary Inspector, Akyab (now
Deputy Superintendent) ; U San Hla, Deputy Superintendent (Assistant
Principal, Veterinary School, Insein) ; U Saw Hla U, Deputy Superin-
tendent, Meiktila ; U Po Kyi, Veterinary Inspector, Katha ; U Bwin Gyi,
Veterinary Inspector (Assistant Instructor, Veterinary School, Insein) ;
U Po Tun, Frontier Veterinary Inspector, Amherst ; U Hla Gyaw,
Veterinary Inspector, Sandoway ; U Po Aung, Veterinary Inspector,
Bassein ; U Aung Thein, Veterinary Assistant, Kyaikkami ; U Tha Khin,
Veterinary Assistant, Kyaikmaraw ; U Ba Kyan, Veterinary Assistant,
Moulmein ; U Hla Gaing, Veterinary Assistant, Chaungzon ; U Saw U,
Veterinary Assistant, Sandoway ; and U Myint, Veterinary Assistant,
Nyaunglebin.
