Licensed Agency.—There was an increase of 78 vaccinators and 84,652
operations. The average per man also shows a slight increase.
District Board Agency.—There was an increase of 46 operators, but a very
small corresponding increase of work. This is due to the fact that much less
work was done by them during the year under report as compared with the
previous year, viz., 472 operations per man, against 774 of 1898-99. This is
unsatisfactory and the attention of Civil Surgeons will be drawn to the matter.
