ENCLOSURE.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT, CIVIL VETERINARY
DEPARTMENT, MADRAS, FOR 1915-16.
I.—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
Mr. F. Ware held charge of the office of Superintendent throughout the
year except for a period of six weeks from 1st December 1915, when he was on
privilege leave. During his absence Mr. D. A. D. Aitchison, Principal, Madras
Veterinary College, was in charge in addition to his own duties.
Mr. Ware spent 153 days on tour, during which time he travelled 8,334 miles
by rail, 366 miles by road and 277 miles by boat.
During the year he inspected all the hospitals and dispensaries in his charge
except those at Bellary, Adōni, Sivagiri, Bhadrachalam, Nandyal and Salem, the three
last mentioned being opened only towards the end of the official year.
The work of all the touring Veterinary Assistants in the Presidency was
inspected by him except those in Bellary, Kurnool, Cuddapah and Salem districts.
The Cattle Quarantine depot, Tuticorin, was inspected twice and the Mobile
corps once. He also inspected the Government stallion "Turk" stud bulls
Nos. 1, 3, 15, 16, 23 and 24, and the work of the Special Veterinary Assistant with
the Forest department in South Coimbatore division.
During the year he attended cattle shows at Tiruppur and Ongole, and the
Agricultural Conference held at Pusa in February 1916.
7
(vi) The question of how a touring veterinary assistant should be supplied
with a peon when in camp has been decided by the issue of orders by the Board of
Revenue that in all districts the Tahsildar of the taluk in which the veterinary
assistant happens to be working should depute a peon to assist him and accompany
him on his tours in the taluk. It is hoped that this will give general satisfaction.
(vii) With a view to introduce the Act for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, XI of 1890, in municipalities in which veterinary hospitals have been
located, the Collectors of the districts concerned were addressed. The proposal was
well received and Government have extended the Act to all the municipalities con-
cerned and have asked the District Magistrates to issue instructions to all magistrates
who try cases under the Act to make use of the provisions in section 6 (3) of the Act,
under which an animal can be sent to a veterinary infirmary for compulsory
treatment.
(viii) The difficulty experienced in obtaining suitable compounders for
Veterinary hospitals, first reported several years ago, increased to such an extent that
the Board was again addressed to open a class for training these men. An arrange-
ment has now been made by which a class will be held at the Madras Veterinary
College during the summer vacation, and this should solve the difficulty for the
future.
(ix) The department and the public generally have suffered a loss through
the retirement of M.R.Ry. V. P. Subrahmanya Mudaliyar Avargal. He entered
Government service first in July 1885 as a Cattle Disease Inspector and after gradu-
ating at the Bombay Veterinary College rose through the different grades of this
department until he was appointed Deputy Superintendent in May 1911. He thus
had 30 years of approved service to his credit when he retired on 14 th August 1915.
(x) There are now over 100 subordinates and 35 hospitals under the control
of the Superintendent of this department.
Although he spent over five months on tours of inspection during the year
under report, the Superintendent did not inspect all the hospitals in his charge, and
several districts, in all of which touring veterinary assistants are working, were not
visited by him at all.
The effect of this appears to be reflected in some of the figures referred to in
this report.
In two years' time the number of recruits received from the Madras Veterinary
College should be about 25 per annum so that in a very few years the staff will be
doubled, and each year the number of men not inspected by the Superintendent will
become greater. Government have recently decided however that a second Sunerin-
tendent is not necessary in this Presidency at present.
