(iv). Any other suitable veterinary objects. These include the 

 expansion of the scale of stallions. 



Summing up, the grant which is now continued is urgently needed in 

 most districts for the completion of the building programme, and, by the 

 time this has been finished, it will doubtless be desirable to embark on a 

 comprehensive scheme for the improvement of cattle. 



8. It is unnecessary to continue to send me annual accounts of ex- 

 penditure. The Superintendents, Civil Veterinary Department, will, as 

 before, discuss the arrangements for the utilisation of the grant with the 

 Deputy Commissioners in the course of their tours. The Superintendents 

 maintain rough check accounts and will draw my attention to cases in which 

 there are balances which are not likely to be utilised. 



9. The annual report referred to in para. 1 5 of my Circular 1 of 1 906 

 should also be discontinued as the information is obtained through the 

 Superintendents, Civil Veterinary Department.
