2. The Justices will be asked to attend at the office of their sub-
divisions at 7 a.m. on each day.
3. After the muster of the staff under each Justice, they will proceed
to their sub-divisions with their staff for house-to-house
visitation.
4. It is not expected that the Justices can personally visit every
house daily, though it is hoped they will visit as many as
possible, and it is presumed that they know their sub-divisions
so well that information in regard to sick persons will be
quickly obtained by them.
5. The staff allowed to each Justice will be organised according
to the number of houses in the sub-division, but the minimum
staff will be one sub-inspector or muccadum (native), one
police sepoy, and four Military sepoys. Each Justice, on
receiving intimation of, or on finding, a sick person, will make
a note of the name of the place and the number or description
of the premises, leaving a sepoy on guard to prevent the
patient being removed until an ambulance can be obtained.
6. Each Justice, on having inspected the whole of his sub-division,
will return to the office of the sub-division to fill in and hand
over a report of his morning's work in a printed form
provided for the purpose.
7. This procedure will be followed from day to day, and any Justice
prevented from attending on any particular day is requested
to send an early intimation to the Sub-divisional Medical
Officer, who will delegate the work to some one else.
8. Sub-divisional Medical Officers, on receiving reports from
Justices, will immediately arrange to send ambulances to the
houses in which cases have been reported.
9. Before removal, cases should be visited by the Sub-Divisional
Medical Officers or one of their qualified assistants, or, in the
case of females, by a Lady Doctor, who will arrange for their
removal;
10. The bullock carriage at each sub-division, should be utilized
to convey the family of each patient to the segregation
quarters at the hospital in which the patient has been placed.
11. In the removal of sick persons, the Sub-Divisional Medical
Officer should, in the absence of the District Medical Officer
of Health, personally supervise the procedure and submit a
detailed report to the District Medical Officer of Health.
12. All commissariat and other arrangements for those people
removed will be made by the District Medical Officer of
Health, or such official, as he may appoint in each sub-division.
To each Justice of the Peace was given the powers of a Special
Constable. This enabled him to legally enter houses for inspection work."
