VACCINATION REPORT,
Increase or decrease in
strength.
5. During the year, three Superintendents and three Assistant Superin-
tendents were entertained in the Káthiáwár States. One
additional Inspector was also entertained for the Mahi
Kántha Agency in the Gujarát Registration District.
There was one vaccination kárkún employed by the Karáchi Municipality at
the close of the year; last year there were three such kárkúns employed tem-
porarily who were then discharged. The addition of three clerks was made in the
Káthiáwár States. There is a decrease of two vaccinators under municipal estab-
lishment as two places in the Kolába Collectorate were abolished during the
year. Under Local Fund establishment there is an increase of four vaccinators,
one for each of the Collectorates of Thána, Kolába and Belgaum, and one for
the Mevás villages in Khándesh. Five additional candidate vaccinators, one for
Thána, one for Khándesh and three for Káthiáwár Native States, were enter-
tained during the year. Under Native State establishment there is an addition
of 11 vaccinators in the Káthiáwár States. One vaccinator formerly included
in the Native States of the Western Registration District is now shown as a
Local Fund vaccinator. In peons there was an increase of 26, of which 8 were
entertained in the British Districts and 18 in the Native States (Káthiáwár).
Thus, in the entire establishment, there has been an increase of three Superin-
tendents, one Inspector, three Assistant Superintendents, one clerk, 17 vacci-
nators and 26 peons.
