Letter—from the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department.
To—the Secretary to Government, Revenue Department.
Dated—Madras, the 2nd September 1919.
No.—D. Dis. 1653.
Order—No. 2189, Revenue, dated 23rd September 1919.
Recorded.
Miscellaneous.
2. During the year under review
proposals have been sanctioned for open-
ing new veterinary institutions in 1919-20 at Russellkonda, Jaggayyapeta, Polavaram,
Kurnool, Narasaraopet and Anantapur.
3. The question of entrusting to municipalities the work of reporting cases of
mortality among animals within the municipal areas is under the consideration of the
Government.
4. The Government regret to note the increase in the number of deaths from
rinderpest in spite of an increase in the number of inoculations. They hope that,
when the superior staff of the department is strengthened and the "serum—simul-
taneous method" of inoculation is undertaken on a large scale, the disease will be
brought under effective control.
5. The number of castrations performed by the touring veterinary assistants
and by the assistants in charge of veterinary institutions is satisfactory.
6. The Government note with displeasure that subordinate magistrates continue
to make little use of the provisions of section 6 (3) of the Prevention of Cruelty to
20
Animals Act, 1890. The District Magistrates of Gōdāvari, Madura, Tanjore,
Trichinopoly and Bellary are requested to see that officers under them pay more
attention to the repeated instructions of the Government in the matter.
7. The Government have not considered it necessary to amend the Madras
Cattle Disease Act, 1866, as proposed by the Superintendent in paragraph 55 of his
report. They are of opinion that the object in view, viz., the proper disposal of
carcasses of animals dying of a contagious disease, can be attained by the issue of
by-laws under section 18 of the Act and have accordingly issued a by-law to that
effect.
8. Plans and estimates for providing accommodation for twenty additional
students in the hostel attached to the Madras Veterinary College are under scrutiny.
9. The total charges of the department as reported by the Accountant-General
(exclusive of charges on account of breeding operations and establishment for the
inspection of cattle to Ceylon) amounted to Rs. 2,75,124—8—10 as shown below:—

10. Attendance and discipline of students.—Good.
11. Hostel.—Plans and estimates for Rs. 13,600 for adding a second storey to
the hostel buildings were submitted to Government in April 1919 but as the Chief
Engineer considered that the present building cannot stand the proposed additional
storey, it is now proposed to construct a separate new building.
12. General.—The laboratory building and the college extensions have been
completed and will be taken over from the Public Works Department shortly. The
Principal conducted the Diploma examination in 'Animal Hygiene' at Coimbatore
for the students of the Agricultural College in April 1919.
Six final year students of this college were deputed to attend the Cattle and Pony
show at Tiruppur in June 1919.
Two Veterinary officers from Bihar and Orissa underwent a course of training
at this college from 14th June 1919 to 7th March 1920.
The post of second European officer sanctioned for the college has not yet been
filled. Proposals have been submitted to Government for the appointment of a third
Imperial officer to the college.
Mr. Ware would like to record that while he was in charge of the college, he
