GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Office of the Commissioner in Sind,
Government House, Karachi, 5th July 1926.
Subject.—Annual Administration Report of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Sind, for the year 1925-26.
MEMORANDUM.
The Commissioner in Sind has the honour to submit the report
of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind and
Rajputana, on the working of the Veterinary Department during
the year 1925-26.
Charge.
2. The charge of the office of the Superintendent was held by
Mr. J. H. G. Jerrom throughout the year
under report.
Mortality statistics.
3. In spite of a number of outbreaks and the presence of many
forms of disease the total mortality reported
among cattle from
contagious disease
decreased from 5,519 in the previous year to 2,943 in the year
under report.
Inoculations.
4. Preventive inoculations against rinderpest were carried out
in the case of 15 outbreaks, the number of
animals inoculated being 3,754 against 2,634
inoculated in 29 outbreaks during the previous year. The number
of inoculations against hæmorrhagic septicæmia was 1,898.
Dispensaries.
5. The number of dispensaries remain
unchanged.
Professional work.
6. The aggregate number of cases treated at the several
dispensaries rose from 24,572 in the previous
year to 26,250 during the year under report,
and the number of animals treated on tour rose by 2,359.
Veterinary instruction.
7. Only one stipendiary student was studying at the Bombay
Veterinary College at the close of the year.
As there was no vacancy in the depart-
ment one of the two persons who passed the final examination during
the year under report could not be taken up in the department.
He will be taken up now the Government sanction to the opening
of new veterinary dispensaries has been received.
Breeding operations.
8. The number of the District Local Board stallions at the close
of the year remained the same as last year.
They covered 472 mares in the course of the
year; the aggregate cost of their maintenance being Rs. 6,760 of
which Government contributed Rs. 2,450.
57
Financial.
9. The total expenditure of the department amounted to
Rs. 1,27,740 as against Rs. 1,30,182 in the
previous year.
General remarks.—It will be observed that the Superintendent
states that the reporting of contagious diseases still continues to be
unsatisfactory, and that, in spite of the names of tapadars who
appeared to be in default being reported to the Collectors, no improve-
ment seems to have taken place. The Commissioner would venture
respectfully to express his regret that Government did not find it
possible, as stated in Government Resolution No. 5466/24 of 7th
January 1926, to accept the scheme of rewards proposed for tapadars.
It is doubtless correct, as stated in the Government Resolution, that
tapadars are full time servants, and that it is a part of their duties
to report outbreaks. But the same principle is equally true of
many other departments, such as the Police and Excise, in which,
notwithstanding, good work meets with financial reward; and
rewards for special pieces of work are not unknown in higher
branches of the Services. Government state that the proper
course is to take disciplinary action against defaulting tapadars.
Tapadars in Sind have, however, such large areas to cover and so
many duties to perform that it is impossible, in most cases,
definitely to prove-default, and it is of course equally impossible
to inflict punishment when the offence is not proved.
As the Commissioner has separately stated, horse-breeding has
lost much ground in Sind, largely owing to the decreased assistance
by Government, although the necessity for it still exists and the
possibilities of successful horse-breeding, at least in Upper Sind,
are far from being exhausted. The prime necessity is the provision
of more stallions and the replacement of the old or unsuccessful
animals. The local boards are willing to do their share, but the
help of Government is necessary.
The need for veterinary dispensaries is also great, particularly
in the Thar Parkar district, and the Superintendent has taken
measures for the provisional opening of three new dispensaries in
the Thar Parkar district. The contribution of Government to
these, has however, been made available by using money provided
for the purchase of additional stallions, and this is unfortunate, as
the one need is as great as the other.
The Commissioner hopes to take early action for the establish-
ment of a Police run for young horses in the Province which will
undoubtedly serve as an incentive to provincial horse-breeding.
The necessity for more active measures for encouraging cattle-
breeding has been generally recognised. It is not merely quality
that is lacking, but actual numbers to carry on present cultivation
in Sind, leaving out of consideration the very large areas which
will be cultivated after the Barrage comes into operation. The
Commissioner has suggested the establishment of premium bulls
in the Upper Sind Frontier district and the holding of a cattle
show at Jacobabad in conjunction with the horse show.
Q 24—8
58
A lazaretto in Karachi is undoubtedly a necessity for the
Province. Its absence is one of the reasons why the port of
Karachi is closed for the importation of equine animals. This
leads to the somewhat unreasonable result that the supply of good
horses from the Gulf and Mesopotamia is shut off from Karachi.
The result is that for ghari work inferior horses are brought down
from the Punjab, and disease is much more likely to occur among
them than amog imported animals which are carefully examined.
Such importation and examination is possible even before the
lazaretto is constructed, and it is hoped that the port may be
opened as proposed,
Mr. Jerrom performed the duties of his office in an energetic
and tactful manner; and the Commissioner thinks that the
Department has done good work daring the year.

To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,

Sir,
I have the honour to submit herewith the Forty-first Annual

I have the honour to be,

Your most obedient servant,
K. HEWLETT,
Indian Veterinary Service,
Principal, Bombay Veterinary College.
Q 16—1
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
BOMBAY VETERINARY COLLEGE
FOR THE YEAR 1926-27
Mr. K. Hewlett, held charge as Principal of the College up to
16th of June when he proceeded on leave, Mr. V. R. Phadke the
Acting Professor of Veterinary Science taking over from that date.
Mr. Phadke continued to act up to 23rd of December when
Mr. Hewlett returned from leave. Khan Sahib Dhakmarvala acted
as Professor of Veterinary Science during the period Mr. Phadke
acted as Principal and proceeded on leave preparatory to retirement
from 24th of December. Mr. Mohey Deen, M.R.C.V.S., was
appointed to act as Assistant Professor in the arrangement conse-
quent upon Mr. Hewlett proceeding on leave and subsequently to
till the vacancy caused by Khan Sahib Dhakmarvala's retirement.
Khan Sahib Shaikh Ahmed, Mr. Miranda and Mr. Nair continued to
hold charge of their appointments throughout the year under report.
2. The Students.—There were 82 students' names on the rolls
on the 1st of April 1926. The Annual Professional Examinations
were held in April. Of these 82 students 75 appeared for the Annual
Professional Examinations and 50 passed successfully. Of the
successful students 14 having passed the final examination left the
College. Eighteen students were promoted to class C from class B
and 18 promoted to class B from class A. In addition to the above
two students in class C and two in class B were eligible and appeared
for the supplementary examination held in October and all passed.
The two from class C having qualified left the College and the two
from class B were promoted to class C. Five students discontinued
the course after having failed, 4 were unable to continue on account
of family circumstances and 2 on account of illness.
3. In June 1926, 39 new students were admitted to class A and
1 old student was re-admitted to class C. There were thus 97
students on the rolls at the commencement of the first session.
4. Of the 39 new students admitted 24 were natives of the
Bombay Presidency, 2 of Gwalior, 1 of Baroda, 1 of Mysore, 1 of
Travancore, 4 of the Central Provinces and 6 of Ceylon. Of the
new students three had passed the first year's Arts Examination and
26 the Matriculation or School Leaving Certificate Examination. The
remaining students passed the College entrance test or were other-
wise eligible for admission. The new students classified according
to caste were 22 Brahmins, 3 Marathas, 2 other Hindus, 5
Mahomedans, 1 Parsi and 6 Singhalese.
5. The results of the Annual and Supplementary Examinations
held during the year were as under :—
In the Final year or class C, 26 students appeared and 16 passed,
in class B, 26 appeared and 20 passed, and in class A, 27 appeared
and 18 passed. The percentages therefore this year for the three
classes were 61.54, 76.92 and 66.66, respectively, as against 72.72,
81.81 and 74.07 last year and on the total 68.35 as against 76.11
last year.
4
6. Of the 97 students on the rolls at the commencement of the
first session (June) three students discontinued the course on account
of ill health, 1 on account of family circumstances and 2 left
the College having passed the supplementary final examination.
There were consequently 91 students' names on the rolls at the end
of the year as against 82 at the commencement.
7. There were 8 scholarships vacant at the commencement of the
year, viz., 3 for youths from the Presidency proper and 5 for youths
from Sind. The Commissioner in Sind sent only 3 new scholars
and the saving effected on account of the 2 remaining Sindhi
scholarships was utilised for awarding scholarships to candidates
coming from the Presidency proper. The Principal was therefore
able to award 7 scholarships to the candidates from the Presidency
proper. There were in all 18 scholars from the Presidency proper
(including 11 already studying at the College) and 4 from Sind.
The Central Provinces Government continued stipends to 2
scholars already in the College and sent 5 more scholars. Dhar,
Rajpipla and Miraj States continued stipends to their scholars.
In addition Baroda State sent 3 scholars, Gwalior State 2 and
Jamkhandi State 1. The Deccan Maratha Educational Association
allotted a stipend to one student. There were thus 37 students in
receipt of some assistance from scholarships and 54 without such
assistance at the end of the year.
8. The Students' Hostel.—The College Hostel was fully occupied
during the year, some students having been obliged to find
accommodation outside the College. The arrangements regarding
the Hostel were carried out by Khan Sahib Dhakmarvala until
December 24th when he proceeded on leave and Mr. Miranda took
over charge as Hostel Superintendent and continued as such during
the remainder of the year.
9. The Students' Gymkhana.—Football, Hockey, Cricket, and
Tennis were played as usual. Matches against outside teams were
also arranged as in previous years. Athletic sports were held
as usual.
10. Riding class, Drill, etc.—The Final year students went
through the usual course of equitation at His Excellency the
Governor's Body Guard's riding school at Mahalaxmi. Other
students were put through a course of physical drill by Staff
Sergeant Farrier Burt, the Instructor in shoeing.
11. Excursion of Students.—During the year the Final year
students visited the Poona Agricultural Exhibition and the Military
Dairy Farm at Kirkee. Local Excursions were also made as usual.
12. The Health of Students.—The health of the students was on
the whole good. There were some cases of malaria. The Medical
Officer attended regularly.
13. Discipline.— The students were well behaved and their
attendance at lectures, demonstrations and clinical classes was
satisfactory.
5
14. Clinical Instruction.—This was carried out as usual in the
Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals. During the
year 3,508 in-patients 850 out-patients were treated; a total of
4,358 patients. Of the in-patients 473 were equines, 2,149 bovines
and 886 miscellaneous. The average daily attendance was 206.
Twenty-three dogs were subjected to anti-rabic treatment.
15. The Laboratory.—The following table shows the number of
specimens received and examined in the Laboratory during the
year:—

service of Indian States. Of the 13 graduates who passed in 1925,
7 are in the service of Government and 6 in the service of Indian
States. Of the 17 passed in 1924, 13 are in the service of Govern-
ment and 4 in the service of Indian States. Thus out of a total of
46 graduates passed out during the last three years, 29 are in Govern-
ment service and 17 in Indian States' Service. All have obtained
employment.
17. The College Buildings.—The ordinary current repairs to the
buildings were carried out as usual. The construction of the

and eventually was removed from the waiting list for the same
reason.
