134
by about 50 sub-inspectors (allowing 600 houses to each sub-inspector) ; four or
five full sanitary inspectors could probably control the work of these men; and
the subordinate staff required would be about 150 men. The inspectors and
men would cost Rs. 54,000.
375. It would be necessary to allow for retaining nearly the full well-
cleansing and fish-stocking establishment and the whole of the head office
establishment at a cost of Rs. 11,000 and Rs. 17,000 per annum respectively.
It would also be necessary to allow about one-quarter or one-third of the full
estimate given for material and the cost of special departmental expenditure,
which together would amount to about Us. 40,000 per annum. The total
expenditure on this partial scheme would therefore bo about Rs. 1,25,000 per
annum; but as there are already a certain number of sanitary inspectors working
in the area mentioned, the 50 sub-inspectors and 5 full inspectors referred to in
this estimate, would include these, and the actual estimate would be reduced
much below the figure given above. And if an officer from among the existing
staff of assistants to the Executive Health Officer were deputed for full-time
anti-malaria work, another item of expenditure would be reduced,
376. The estimated cost of Scheme II is as follows:—
Cost of staff for partial work in A., B., C., D., and E. Wards ...
Well gangs
Head office
Material, etc.

Deduct from this the cost of a certain number of inspectors and

Section 3.
377. COST OF CERTAIN PERMANENT MEASURES OF PRE-
VENTION.—As particulars have been obtained relating to the cost of filling
in and protecting certain wells it appears advisable to include them here. The
cost of such work would ordinarily fall upon the owners of property unless a
special grant were made for the purpose of relieving them of this expense
or a portion of it.
378. The cost of filling in a well 4½'X4½' was ascertained to be Rs. 25 and
another 4½'x4' Rs. 30; two wells about 5 feet in diameter cost to fill in Rs. 55
and Rs. 47 respectively; a larger well cost Rs. 150 to fill in; and as much as
Rs. 300 has been estimated as the cost of filling in certain very large wells.
Wells covered with concrete, sheet-iron, boards or wire gauze have cost the
following amount for protection.

Another small well cost Rs. 36 to cover.
The cost of covering two large wells was Rs. 105 and 157 respectively and
another rather smaller one cost Rs. 65. Two very large wells covered in a
permanent manner with iron joists and sheet iron cost about Rs. 250 or
Rs. 300. In the case of four other wells and a fountain the cost of protection
has been as follows :—
