No. 116-P.H., 15TH JANUARY 1925
appointed in July 1923 to examine the whole question submitted a comprehensive
programme of works arranged in the order of urgency ; the programme was
generally approved by the Government and plans and estimates for some of the
very urgent works have been got ready.
7. Mention was made in the last year's review that the question of maintaining
the accounts of the Institute on a commercial basis was under consideration. The
revised system of accounts submitted by Messrs. Fraser & Ross for the purpose
was examined and it was found that the amount of labour and extra cost involved,
in adopting it would be incommensurate with the results achieved and that there
was no guarantee of greater accuracy in the system of costing than in the existing
system of accounts. The Government have therefore, on the recommendation of
the Accountant-General, decided that no alteration in the existing system is
necessary and that it will be sufficient if the details of total expenditure of the
institute shown in the financial statement appended to the annual report are
supplemented by the inclusion of certain indirect charges which have hitherto
been omitted from the statement.
8. A special officer appointed by the Government conducted a thorough
investigation into the contingent expenditure of the Institute. Orders on this
report have issued in G.O. No. 1696-P.H., dated 20th November 1924.
9. The scheme of travelling laboratories for the examination of water-supply
at railway stations in the Presidency has been dropped for the present. The
question of appointing a travelling inspectorate for the examination of water-
supplies in the Presidency is under the consideration of the Government and the
question of provision of funds for experiments on sewage disposal plant at the
Engineering College, Guindy, is being considered in connexion with the budget
proposals for 1925-26.
10. The Institute as usual rendered useful assistance to other departments.
The staff of the Institute took an active part in public health propaganda by
preparing the material issued by the Madras Health Council for the Health and
Baby Week in January 1924 and by delivering lectures.
11. The Government congratulate Lt.-Col. J. Cunningham and his staff on
the excellent achievements of the year and on the high standard of efficiency
maintained in the Institute.
