The cost of the District Establishment was Rs. 1,367 greater than it was
last year, but this increase is more than neutralized by the diminished expendi-
ture of Rs. 2,133 incurred by the Special Staff. The cost of Cantonment
vaccination was Rs. 46 less than it was last year. Altogether the cost of the
Vaccination Establishment was Rs. 812 less than it was in 1888-89.
The increase in the cost of the District Vaccination Staff is partly due
to the increase in the number of Vaccinators, and partly to the increased
expenditure under travelling allowance and contingencies. In 1889-90 the
travelling allowances granted to the District Staff amounted to Rs. 1,317, and
in 1888-89 Rs. 851 were spent under this head. The contingent expenses of the
two years were Rs. 4,011 and Rs. 3,659, respectively.
The decrease in the expenditure incurred by the Special Staff is princi-
pally due to the fact that Dr. O'Neill was in charge throughout the
year 1888-89, and Dr. Dyson had charge during nearly five months of
1889-90, and Dr. O'Neill's pay was considerably greater than the officiating
pay granted to Dr. Dyson. There was also a slight decrease in the travelling
and contingent expenses. In 1888-89 the travelling expenses of the Special
Staff were Rs. 4,005 and the contingencies Rs. 632 ; in 1889-90 the respective
charges under these heads were Rs. 3,626 and Rs. 513.
Cost of each successful
case same as last year.
5. The total cost of the Vaccination Establishment for the year was
Rs. 75,671 and the number of successful vaccinations done
was 761,065, so that the average cost of each successful
case was one anna and seven pies, the same as the 'average cost of each success-
ful case last year.

tions performed during the

The above table shows that there were altogether 934,110 vaccine opera-
tions performed during the year, or 8,185 fewer than during the year 1888-89.
This diminution is due to the very considerable decrease in the amount of work
done by the Special Staff, they having done 34,297 fewer operations than they did
last year. The Cantonment and Dispensary Staffs also performed fewer vacci-
nations than they did last year. The decrease in the amount of work done by
these three establishments is partly made up by the increase in the number of
vaccinations performed by the District Staff, who did 27,969 more operations
than they did last year.
