The work has decreased in the following 29 municipalities, those marked with
an asterisk having shown decline last year also :—Salem (1,901), * Madras (1,214),
Cannanore (1,095), Bellary (842), Rajahmundry (587), * Trichinopoly (501), * Ma¬
sulipatam (454), Ootacamund (297), Tiruppattúr (282), Calicut (262), Coimbatore
(230),* Palamcottah (198), Erode (192), Dindigul (171), * Cuddapah (163), Chi-
dambaram (154), Palni (150), Karúr (139), * Srírangam (128), Vellore (118),
* Berhampur (101), Mangalore (100), Cocanada (91), * Coonoor (77), Tinnevelly
(72), * Conjeeveram (69), Nellore (65), Mannárgudi (58), and Periyakulam (57).
The average cost per case is As. 5-1, or the same as for the past two years.
14. The following table shows the particulars of work done by the Govern-
ment vaccinators, and it will be seen that there is a slight increase on the
whole. There is a large decrease in Ganjám Hill tracts, which is attributed
to the absence of certain vaccinators for long periods. As the Deputy Inspectors
employed in Agency tracts are " entirely under the orders and control of the
"Divisional Officer, who will direct 'their' movements in view to the efficient
" working of the vaccination staff " (vide G.O., No. 2398, Judicial, of 17th November
1888), the responsibility for the steady decline observed in recent years does not
seem to rest with this department. As matters are at present, there is no proper
professional supervision exercised over Deputy Inspectors, as District Medical and
Sanitary Officers have not time to inspect the work in these inaccessible regions.
The Acting Special Assistant Agent, Ganjám, reports that " the work of the whole
staff is bad with the exception of John Singh. It is hoped that the fining system
introduced will have effect. . . The Deputy Inspector's own work is not above
criticism, he wastes time over office work and explanation of the benefits of vaccina-
tion instead of inspecting cases." Great difficulty is experienced in getting good
vaccinators on the present rates of pay.
