Letter from the Accountant-General, to the Secretary to Government,
Development Department, dated Madras, the 21st, 25th September 1930
No. WM. 568-9-2 of 30-31.
With reference to Government Memorandum No. 742 IV/30-2.
dated 7th August 1930, I have the honour to state that the total
expenditure incurred by the Public Works Department on behalf of the
Civil Veterinary Department during 1929-30 is Rs. 1,24,720-12-4.
Order—No. 1772, Development, dated 19th September 1930.
Recorded.
2. Mr. Ware, the permanent Director of Veterinary Services.
was appointed Director of the Imperial Institute of Veterinary
Research, Muktesar, from 1st June 1929. Messrs. Hurley and
Saunders were successively in charge of the department during the
rest of the year.
3. There were 109 students in the College against 98 in the
previous year and 19 passed the final examination. Seven students,
of whom one was from the Federated Malay States, underwent
the refresher course. The preparation of virus was continued in the
laboratory attached to the College. Research was continued in the
laboratory and two important discoveries were made in the year.
No. 1772, DEVELOPMENT, 19TH SEPTEMBER 1930
155
The revised curriculum of the Madras Veterinary College which
was under the consideration of Government has since been approved
and introduced from the beginning of the current academic year
(1930-31).
4. Seven new dispensaries were opened during the year includ-
ing one at Jeypore. The number of cases admitted to institutions
for treatment increased from 137,022 in 1928-29 to 149,235 in
1929-30 ; the number of cases supplied with medicine but not
brought to institutions also showed a similar increase.
5. The number of deaths from contagious diseases during the
year decreased. As in 1928-29, rinderpest continued to be virulent
and contributed to 106,046 deaths, the corresponding number in
the previous year being 129,583. The disease was virulent in the
districts of North Arcot, Tanjore and South Arcot, the total deaths
from these districts alone being 38,814 representing nearly 37 per
cent of the total mortality from this disease. Inoculation by the
serum simultaneous method was adopted on an extensive scale
during the year, the number of such inoculations performed having
nearly doubled as compared with the previous year. On the
contrary, the number of inoculations by the serum-alone method
decreased from 171,206 in 1928-29 to 13,224 in 1929-30. There
is thus clear evidence that inoculation by the serum simultaneous
method is becoming popular and owing to the efficacy of this
system, the department can in time hope considerably to reduce the
mortality from rinderpest in this Presidency.
6. Towards the end of the year, orders were issued on the
provincialisation of the veterinary service in this Presidency.
There will be only one single provincial service in the Presidency
carrying a pay of Rs. 250—25—550—25—750 with a selection
grade of 10 per cent of the cadre on Rs. 800—25—1,000.

I was in charge of the department throughout the year
under report. I spent 114 days on tour and inspected the
work of several Veterinary institutions and Touring Veteri-
nary Assistant Surgeons, besides all the District Veterinary
offices and the Madras Veterinary College. I inspected the
alternative site suggested by Mr. Hanson for the establish-
ment of a Serum Institute at Coonoor and also inspected the
vacant medical school buildings at Guntur in order to enquire
into the possibility of locating the proposed Serum Institute
therein. During the course of my tours I visited the Muni-
cipal Dairy Farm, the slaughter-house and the electrocutor
at Ootacamund and the Forest Department livestock at Tip-
pakadu. I also visited the Military Dairy Farm at Welling-
ton and the Raja's Home Farm at Parlakimedi. At the request
of the Honourable the Resident in Mysore, Bangalore, I
inspected the Tasker Veterinary Hospital, Civil and Military
Station, Bangalore, in October 1930 and submitted a detailed
report on the lines on which improvements could be effected
in the running of that institution. I attended the meetings
of the Advisory Board of the Imperial Council of Agricultural
Research held at Simla in June 1930 and at New Delhi in
January 1931. I also served as a member of the Board of
Examiners for the conduct of annual examinations in the
