Expenditure on vacci-
nation.
(Statement II.)

4. There was an increase of Rs. 11,032 in the total expenditure,
excluding the charges on account of the Assistants
Directors of Public Health and their establishments
and a decrease of Rs. 1,096, including these charges
as compared with 1923-24, the total during the two
years being Rs. 3,98,376 and Rs. 3,87,344 and Rs. 4,61,492 and Rs. 4,62,588,
respectively. The increase is due to the increased expenditure under the
Government Bovine Lymph Dépôt, Patwa Dangar, and the vaccination
staff. The decrease in expenditure under Assistant Directors of Public
Health is due to the fact that the Assistant Directors of Public Health, 2nd
and 3rd Ranges, were on leave ex-India for about six months.
