mile was
In 1909-1910 a channel for the main stream was cut through this swamp for 3 miles; a strip of citronella grass 24 feet by planted at the head of the stream, and 12 acres of swamp were cleared. The cost of the above was £350. In addition 40 acres, chiefly swamp, were cleared on a private estate on the upper part of the stream.
In 1910-1911 a further 20 acres were cleared, the main channel enlarged and cleaned, various side drains cut, and holes and depres- sions filled in at a cost of £98.
During 1911-1912 only £65 out of £250 allocated was spent owing to shortage of labour.
The result of the work to date has been very satisfactory. The surface soil over the whole cleared area is drying up and promises to become excellent for cultivation, while the level of the subsoil water has been lowered 3 feet.
It will be necessary to spend further sums to increase the number
of drains, some of which should be of concrete. To complete the work
will cost approximately £900 more.
(e) Numbers of men employed in towns and villages for petty anti-mosquito
work.--
At Entebbe from 1st April, 1911, a gang of 12 men has been This gang is em- continuously employed on anti-malarial measures ployed in collecting old tins, broken bottles, &c., from compounds; clearance of rain guttering; filling in rain-holes; removal of long grass and planting of French grass in its place; removal of redundant vegetation generally, examination of water-vessels for mosquito larvae. &c., &c.
This gang cleared over 12,000 empty tins, broken bottles, &c., from compounds in Entebbe during the first month, making an average of 60 tins, &c., removed from each compound.
A small gang of 5 men was similarly employed at Jinja. At other stations gangs were temporarily employed on similar work, and it is proposed to appoint permanent gangs to each station of importance during the present year.
The amount sanctioned in the Estimates for "Epidemics and Anti- malarial Measures" was £500, of which approximately £200 was spent on petty anti-malarial measures and swamp drainage, but work in this direction was hampered by want of labour.
