Order—No. 1449, Development, dated 6th October 1925.

    Recorded.

2. There was no important change in the organization of the department in the
year under review. The Government agree with the Chief Superintendent that the
IV and V Circles are too unwieldy to permit of adequate supervision by the officers
in charge and that an additional circle should be constituted as early as practicable.

3. Pour new dispensaries were started during the year and two private institu-
tions were closed. The total number of veterinary institutions on 31st March 1925
was 74 of which five were private institutions. The number of dispensaries is still
inadequate to the requirements of the Presidency and in this respect the organization
of veterinary relief in Madras compares unfavourably with that of certain other
provinces. Since the close of the year, a dispensary has been opened at Harpanahalli
in Bellary and sanction has been accorded to the opening of five new dispensaries at
Krishnagiri, Gopichettipalaiyam, Kavali, Conjeeveram and Karur. The Government
note that the total number of patients treated in all institutions increased from 85 089
to 96,740.
