9. The remarks in Part IV of the Report on the importance of having
bulls selected to suit the varying wants of different localities are worthy of the
attention of District Officers. It will be interesting to note whether the offer of
the Deputy Commissioner of Hissar to provide Brahmini bulls from the Cattle
Farm is largely taken advantage of. The proposal to establish a bull-run in the
Jhelum Canal Colony is now under the consideration of the Local Government.

10. Satisfactory progress was made during the year in the development
of Veterinary Hospitals and Dispensaries, and good work was done by the
itinerating Veterinary Assistants. The number of Assistants was increased, and
with a view to their more effective control a new grade of six Veterinary Inspectors
was sanctioned. By the arrangement introduced at the end of the year there are
to be at the head of the Provincial Department two Superintendents, of whom the
more junior will, at any rate at first, carry on his work in subordination to the
other. The department as an agency for dealing with the improvement of the
breed of cattle and the prevention and cure of disease has undoubtedly been
strengthened by its reorganization, and the Lieutenant-Governor looks forward
with confidence to a continued expansion of its operations.

11. The thanks of Government are due to Veterinary-Captain Walker for
an excellent year's work, and the services of Captain Trydell and Mr. Oliver are
also deserving of recognition. The Director of Land Records, Mr. Renouf, has
devoted much interest and attention to this branch of his duties.

ORDER.—Ordered that a copy of the Report and the above Remarks be
submitted to the Government of India in the Revenue and Agricultural Depart-
ment and the Inspector-General, Civil Veterinary Department in India; also that
the Remarks be published in the Punjab Government Gazette and communicated
to the Director of Land Records and Agriculture, Punjab.

                                           By order of the Hon'ble the Lieutenant-Governor,

                                                            A. H. DIACK,

                                           Chief Secretary to Government, Punjab.
