Aid received from Civil,
Revenue, Political and other
officers.

101. The Civil, Revenue and Political officers
have rendered aid when required to the officers of
this department.

I would bring to the favourable notice of Government the tact and energy
shown in the discharge of their duties by the supervising officers, Drs. Channer,
Street, Dyson, Arnim, and Anderson, and Assistant Surgeon S. V. Kantak.
Drs. Dyson and Arnim have shown increased results for the year in their dis-
tricts, and Drs. Channer and Street are meeting with gratifying results in push-
ing vaccination with animal lymph. Assistant Surgeon S. V. Kantak and his
staff have shown great zeal in coping with the large amount of work caused
by the rush for vaccination and revaccination due to the prevalence of small-
pox in Bombay.

Dr. Street also records that " Mr. Trimbak Anant, 1st Class Inspector, has
retired after more than forty-two years of very meritorious service. His experi-
ence and advice will be a loss to the department. He was connected with the
Vaccination Department in its infancy and did much good work in extending
vaccination. He carried out the details of the introduction of animal vaccina-
tion in Poona City and Cantonment and also its extension for the first time with
the rural districts of this Circle and, I believe, of the Presidency, and this he
did with much success."

My Assistant Mr. Keess and the office establishment worked hard and gave
me every assistance.

                                                                              Sanitary Commissioner,

                                                                                    Sanitary Commissioner's Office,

Bombay, 2nd June 1896.
