There is an increase of total expenditure all round, but a decrease
although trifling, in the average cost of each successful case, which is
satisfactory, especially when it is remembered that more vaccination is being
done.

The increase in towns is satisfactory. In rural areas, it is still more so,
being Rs. 3,302 in 1893—96, against Rs. 621 in 1890—93. The largest
portion of this represents contributions from District Boards.
Inspections.
13. Statement V of the Statistical returns attached show the inspection
performed by Deputy Sanitary Commissioners, Civil
Surgeons, Inspectors of Vaccination and Sub-Inspect-
ors during the last year of the triennial period under review. For convenience
of reference the same information is given below in order of sequence. It would
be difficult to prepare a statement of this nature for three years on account of
the frequent changes of personnel. A one year statement, however, will give
a fair idea of the manner in which the local executive officers are doing the
important work of vaccination inspection:—
