Table VII.

35. There were 17 Veterinary Assistants, viz., 15 in charge of dispensaries
and 2 reserve men, the same number as last year.
Two of the Veterinary Assistants in charge of dispen-
saries are paid by District Local Boards, the remainder are Government
servants.

36. Mr. A. G. Kaka who was deputed to undergo a course of dairying and
dairy farming at the Poona Agricultural College in June 1920 passed the course
in February 1921. He was attached to the Richmond Crawford Veterinary
Dispensary, Karachi, pending the opening of the Willingdon Cattle Farm.

Table XIV-A.

38. The expenditure of the department is shown
in table XIV-A.

                        VI.—GENERAL REMARKS.

39. Although the total number of cases treated or supplied with medicines
is only 110 in excess of last year's total, much more work was done in the dis-
tricts by the Veterinary Assistants, especially rinderpest inoculation.

The appointment of Deputy Superintendent has been extended until the
retirement of Khan Bahadur S. G. Haji but the Government has not yet sanc-
tioned the posts of Veterinary Inspectors for Sind. These appointments are
essential if the work of the Veterinary Assistants is to be properly supervised.
It is impossible for the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent to conti-
nually check the work of individual Veterinary Assistants, especially when there
are severe outbreaks of rinderpest to be attended to.
