37. Nagpur Dairy Farm.—The expenditure on the dairy amounted to
Rs.2,896-10-5 and the receipts to Rs.3,843-1-3, resulting in a credit of Rs.946-6-10.

tions, and their proceedings were regularly recorded for the information of the
Chief Commissioner.

dents, Doctors McKay and Harris; and the Deputy Superintendents of the institu-
tions 1st Class Hospital Assistant Rai Saheb Mohan Lall at Jubbulpore, and 1st
Class Hospital Assistant Abdul Majid Khan at Nagpur, are zealous and pains-
taking subordinates.
