BOMBAY PRESIDENCY. 19
The increase under " Provincial" is chiefly due to the fact that the
Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, Sind Registration District, had drawn the
permanent pay of his appointment during the year, and to the increased rate of
the exchange compensation drawn by the Deputy Sanitary Commissioners,
Western Registration District and Sind Registration District. Under Municipal
and Cantonment there is a slight increase, due to increased prices having to be given
for calves in the Central Registration District and to an extra temporary municipal
vaccinator being employed in Ahmedabad, whilst under Local Fund there is
a decrease of Rs. 1,493-6-0, which chiefly occurs in the Central Registration
District, and is owing to the fact that bills due in 1893-94 were paid in 1894-95,
thus unduly increasing the total for that year. In the year under report this
has not occurred, and hence the decrease. Under Native States there is an
increase of Rs 2,529-10-2 over the preceding year. The net increase over the
preceding year was Rs. 6,277-6-4. The total cost of all charges for the entire
Presidency during the year was Rs. 2,81,407-12-8, whilst the successful cases,
excluding Dispensaries and the Army, amounted to 721,899. The average cost
for each successful case was annas 6 and pies 3, against annas 6 and pies 2 in
the preceding year.

They reveal the shift from variolation, improved vaccination techniques, logistics of lymph supply, funding and staffing.
