17. In No. 862 of l8th
November 1891 to
the Secretary, S. P.
C. A., and No. 869
of 18th November
1891 to Director of
Public
Instruction
objects to the limited
supply of Phenyle, 20
ounces per day, for
2 large wards con-
taining 17 horses and
148 head of cattle,
and requests that the
horse and cattle wards
may be thoroughly
disinfected daily.
18. Veterinary Cap-
tain Mills in his No.
862 of 17th Novem-
ber 1891 gives his
opinion in favour of
the dry earth system
in preference to any
system of drainage.
Reply by the Secre-
tary, S. P. C. A.
That the same quan-
tity of Phenyle and
disinfecting pow¬
der is used now as
formerly. Thinks
that a large quan¬
tity of disinfecting
powder may be
used in the Dis¬
section Room and
considers that Go¬
vernment should
supply
the re-
quirements for this
room.
The Secretary, S. P.
C. A., replies that
an experiment is to
be tried with the
dry earth system
in Horse Ward
No. 1 and that
future action will
depend on the re¬
sult of the experi¬
ment.
Rejoinder by Veteri-
nary Captain Mills.
Post mortem exa-
minations
are
for the benefit
of the Society to
give their clients
correct informa-
tion as to the
cause of death
and that conse-
quently the So-
ciety should pro-
vide the required
disinfectants.
Letter from the
President, S. P. C. A.
The Society, P. C. A.,
through its President
in a letter dated 10th
January 1892 states
that a larger quantity
of Phenyle has been
ordered as recom-
mended by Dr. Weir,
but objects to sup-
plying disinfectants
for the use of the
Dissection and Post
Mortem Rooms and
requests that
the
supplies required for
these may be obtain-
ed from Government
Opinion of the Committee
appointed in G. R. No. 2328
of 10th November 1891.
The Society agrees that
more Phenyle should
be allowed for the
wards. The opinion
of the Principal of
the College is entitl-
ed to weight on a
point of this nature.
If the Society asks
for Post Mortem Exa-
minations, it should
provide the disinfec-
tants for the Post
Mortems
required.
For others carried
out for the instruc-
tion of the students
Government should,
it is considered, pro-
vide the disinfectants.
Experiment under trial
and will it is hoped be
found successful and
be extended to other
wards.
