Inspection work of Deputy
Sanitary Commissioners.

Deputy Sanitary Commissioners doing famine work,
acting as District Medical officers and changes amongst
them. In the Western Registration District the

vaccinated persons or 6.17 per cent. of those available, and travelled 2,137 miles.

spected 31 tálukas and towns, inspected 2,706 vaccinated persons or 1.56 per
cent. of those available, and travelled 4,657 miles. The Deputy Sanitary Com-
missioner, Southern Registration District, inspected 27 tálukas and towns, in-
spected 3,943 vaccinated persons or 2.28 per cent. of those available, and travelled
3,773 miles. The Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, Gujarát Registration District,

The reason for the increased expenditure over last year is due to the
fact that in the present year the Deputy Sanitary Commissioners have drawn
full pay a little more than twice as much as in the previous year, and to this,
coupled with fewer successful vaccinations and re-vaccinations having been per-
formed in the present than in the previous year, is due to the increased cost of
each successful case.
