be water-flushed. This will be a great improvement if it ever comes into force
but great care will have to be taken that the pail depôts are not sources of
annoyance.
45. There are too many cases of Tuberculosis and Typhoid-fever. There
has also been an epidemic of Small-pox and one of a comparatively mild form
of Influenza.
46. The Sanitary Sub-Committee of the Municipality appears to be anxi-
ous to work for the remedy of many of these ills and I thank the Members
who undertake the duties of Ward Superintendents and are regular attendants
both at the meetings of the conservancy Sub-Committee and the weekly in-
spections of the city.

47. The Sanitary Inspector Mahomed Raza Khan does his best and is a
hardworking man : but the work and responsibility are more than one man
can manage. I hope a good Assistant Health Officer will soon be appointed.
48. The Commis-
sioner, Ajmer-Mer-
wara, reports that the
rules for the improve-
ment of village Sani-
tation were restricted
to the same villages
as last year as detail-
ed on the margin.
49. The Sanitary condition of the villages in all the three Sub-divisions
was satisfactory except in the two villages in the Kekri Sub-division. The
people realize the necessity and advantages of Sanitation.
50. The interior portion of the Ajmer town is in a very insanitary condi-
tion and requires more cleanliness. The attention of the Municipal Com-
mittee has been drawn to this matter.
