Recorded.
2. Seven appointments have been sanctioned in the Imperial Service of the
department, four for the Executive Branch and three for the College. Only two of
the former and three of the latter were filled during the year, but towards its end, the
second officer in the Executive Branch resigned the service. All the six posts in the
Madras Veterinary Service, i.e., lour in the districts and two at the College were held
by the same officers as in the year previous.
The subordinate staff consisted of 17 inspectors and 161 assistants on 31st
March 1922, against 15 and 138 in the previous year. The additions to the grade of
assistants included 13 new appointments for touring work.
3. Of the seven institutions mentioned in paragraph 3 of the last year's review,
all except the one at Tiruppur were opened during the year. A dispensary at
Tiruppur has been opened since the close of the year.
The number of hospitals and dispensaries working on the last day of the year
was 64. It has been impossible, for financial reasons, to adhere to the programme
hitherto kept in view, of opening at least six institutions a year : and it is expected
that for similar reasons, it will be possible to open only two new institutions during
the current year.
4. The mortality from contagious diseases has further decreased, the total number
for the Presidency having decreased from 37,066 in 1920-21 to 34,258. As in the
previous year the northern districts continue to be the worst affected, mortality being
very high in Ganjām, Kistna and Agency districts. The Chief Superintendent is
requested to report what special steps should be taken to combat on a more effective
