Letter from the Accountant-General, to the Secretary to Government,
Development Department, dated Madras, the 25th September 1929,
No.W.M.-642.
[Subject.- Expenditure incurred by the Public Works Department
during 1928-29 on Veterinary buildings.]
In reply to Government Memorandum No. 3171-III/29-3,
dated 25th August 1929, on the above subject, I have the honour to
state that the total expenditure incurred by the Public Works
Department on behalf of the Civil Veterinary Department during
1928-29 is Rs. 68,887-3-3.
Order—No. 1836, Development, dated 28th October 1929.
Recorded.
2. Mr. Ware continued to be in charge of the department
throughout the year and the report reveals progress in all directions
of the department's activities, the most outstanding of which is the
adoption especially in the latter half of the year of the serum-simul-
taneous method of inoculation against rinderpest on a large scale and
the consequent expansion of staff which has culminated in the
re-organization of the department and the addition of five circles to
the existing seven.
3. There were 98 students in the College against 86 in the
previous year and 20 passed the final examination. Nine students
were given post-graduate training. The laboratory attached to the
College continued to show satisfactory progress in conducting re-
search as well as in the preparation of virus on a large scale for use
i n the serum-simultaneous inoculations.
4. Eight new dispensaries were opened during the year. The
total number of cases admitted for treatment to veterinary institu-
tions was 137,022 against 125,762 last year. It is. however, a
regrettable fact that in spite of the best efforts of the department
for combating rinderpest, cattle mortality was very high during the
year under review. This is mainly due to the continued prevalence
of rinderpest in a virulent form in some districts. Now that five
8
No. 1836, DEVELOPMENT, 28TH OCTOBER 1929
additional circles have been created and facilities afforded for the
production of virus on a large scale at the Veterinary College, Gov-
ernment hope that the serum-simultaneous method of inoculation will
be resorted to on a very extensive scale and the disease brought
under control during the current year. The Government are grati-
fied to note that the owners of cattle are realizing the worth of the
serum-simultaneous method of inoculation and are freely resorting
to it, and that a definite start on propaganda work was made during
the year by the preparation of charts, specimens and short stories
illustrated by lantern slides to bring home to the public the im-
portance of paying prompt attention to contagious diseases among
cattle.
5. It is hoped that the comprehensive schemes of development
and expansion of the department inaugurated during the current
year will soon bear fruit and help to reduce cattle mortality appre-
ciablv in future.
6. Government wish to place on record their high appreciation
of Mr. Ware's strenuous efforts as head of the Veterinary Department
in re-organizing the department and popularising the veterinary
institutions.

(a) Administration.
Mr. F. Ware held charge of the department till 31st
May 1929 afternoon when he handed over charge to Mr.
T. J. Hurley and proceeded to Muktesar to take up his appoint-
ment as Officiating Director of the Imperial Institute of
Veterinary Research. Mr. Hurley was in charge of the
department till my return from leave on 21st October 1929,
when I assumed charge.
2. During the period he was in charge of the department
in the year under report, Mr. Ware was on tour for ton days
and he inspected the Veterinary Hospitals at Kumbakonam and
Tanjore and the Serum Simultaneous inoculation work at
Kunniyur, Tanjore district. He also visited the Annual Cattle
Show at Tiruppur and inspected sites at Coonoor for locating
the proposed Serum Institute. Mr. T. J. Hurley while acting
as Director of Veterinary Services, was on tour for 43 days.
He inspected the District Veterinary offices at Calicut, Coimba-
tore, Madura, Trichinopoly and Vizagapatam and certain
Veterinary institutions and the work of a few Touring Veteri-
nary Assistant Surgeons. He attended the Agricultural
Conference held at Simla in June 1.929, and during the course
of his tours he visited the Municipal Dairy Farm at Ootaca-
mund and the Forest Department livestock at Nedungayam
(Malabar district). He also inspected animals protected by the
Serum Simultaneous inoculation at Pykara and the site for the
proposed Serum Institute at Coonoor.
3. After I took charge of the department in October 1929,
I spent 33 days on tour and inspected the Madras Veterinary
College and the District Veterinary offices at Madras, Madana-
palle, Vellore, Bellary, Nellore, Bezwada and Rajahmundry.
I also inspected important Veterinary institutions and the work
of certain Touring Veterinary Assistant Surgeons. In the
course of my tours, I inspected animals belonging to the Jail
and Police departments at Vellore. I attended the meetings of
2
the Advisory Board of the Imperial Council of Agricultural
Research, and the Board of Agriculture held at Pusa in
December last.
(b) Expansion of the Department.
4. In the last year's report a reference was made to the
proposal for the creation of five additional circles. Prior to
the year under report, the Presidency was, for purpose of
Veterinary administration, divided into seven circles each in
charge of an officer of the Madras Veterinary Service. In
order, however, to allow district officers to devote more time to
combat the severity of rinderpest, five additional circles were
created during the year under report, and the jurisdiction and
headquarters of the twelve circle officers were redistributed as
shown below:—

5. The designation of the officers in charge of the circles
was also altered to that of District Veterinary Officers.
(c) Reorganization of the Veterinary Services.
6. The Royal Commission on Superior Services recommended
that no further recruitment should be made to the Indian
Veterinary Service and that the personnel required should,
therefore, in future, be recruited and appointed by the local
Government. In accordance with the above recommendation,
recruitment to the Indian Veterinary Service was stopped in
1924 and the question of the creation of a new Provincial
Service to replace the Indian Veterinary Service has engaged
the attention of Government for some time past. Towards the
close of the year under report, Government issued orders
reorganizing the Madras Veterinary Service and constituting
3
the new Provincial Service on a scale of pay of Rs. 250—25—
550—25—750 with 10 per cent of the scale as a selection
grade on Rs. 800—25—1,000. The four Indian Veterinary
Service posts in the department will continue as such till the
existing incumbents vacate their posts and these officers will
continue with no change in their conditions of service. During
the transition stage when the new Provincial Service and the
existing Indian Veterinary Service will exist side by side, the
number of appointments in the Indian Veterinary Service will
count against the selection grade posts sanctioned for the new
Madras Veterinary Service.
(d) Indian Veterinary Service.
7. During the year under report, there were four Indian
Veterinary Service officers in this department. The services of
Mr. F. Ware were temporarily placed, during the year, at the
disposal of the Government of India for appointment as
officiating Director of the Imperial Institute of Veterinary
Research, Muktesar. Messrs. P. T. Saunders and T. J. Hurley
were appointed permanently to the posts of Principal, Madras
Veterinary College, and Professor of Surgery, Madras Veteri-
nary College, respectively. I continued to be on combined
leave on average pay and study leave till 21st October 1929
when I assumed charge of the department. Mr. T. J. Hurley
continued to act as Principal, Madras Veterinary College, till
31st May 1929 and took charge of the office of the Director of
Veterinary Services from Mr. Ware. He acted as Director of
Veterinary Services from 1st June 1929 to 20th October 1929
