6. As will be seen from Tables II, III and IV, there has been a decrease of
Rs. 3,000 in the working costs and this has resulted in a decrease of .083168 pies
per case. The main saving has been effected in the cost of calves including
transport. Purchase of apparatus and stores shows a rise of Rs. 1,050, but this
is largely due to the receipt of European stores such as boxes and receptacles
for vaccine this year. The home indents for the years 1915 and 1916 which were
hitherto delayed on account of war, are now being complied with. The increase
of Rs. 732 under ' pay of menials ' is due to the pay of drivers and oiler3 of
the refrigerating plant, hitherto met under ' establishment charges,' being now
included in ' pay of menials', as per orders of the Accountant-General, Madras,
these being non-pensionable menials. In spite of slight increases under individual
items of expenditure, it is satisfactory to note that there has been a decrease of
over Rs. 3,000 under ' contingencies.'
The amount credited to Government under ' sale of calves ' shows a fall of
18.6 per cent, but there is a rise of 18.5 per cent in the receipts from the sale
of vaccine to private bodies.
