to 1,311 and to 1,283 in 1923. The admission which
numbered 378 in 1921 steadily fell to 348 in 1922
and to 347 in 1923.

The decrease from 5,454 in 1918—1920 to 4,886 in 1921—1923 is
due to fewer admissions in the triennium under report.
The number of discharges and deaths, which were 455 in 1921, fell to
370 in 1922 and 326 in 1923, and the number remaining on the 31st
December, 1923, was 1,304 as compared with 1,283 in 1922 and 1,311 in
1921. The daily average strength in the three asylums fell from
( 3 )
1364.27 in 1921 to 1309.82 in 1922 and to 1301.25 in 1923. The three

15. The net profit on the asylum industries amounted to Rs. 11,708
in 1923, as against Rs. 20,161 in 1921 and
Rs. 14,112 in 1922 The drop in the receipts
during the years 1922 and 1923, is due to the
exclusion of certain items which up to the year 1921 were incorrectly
included for purposes of profit. The decrease in the Bareilly asylum is
also due to the closing of the Oil Factory from September, 1922 to August,
1923. The money credited to Government in 1923 was Rs. 2,344 as
compared with Rs. 2,124 in 1921 and Rs. 2,825 in 1922.
The total credits and debits for the two triennia are shown in

Inspections.
16. The Agra asylum was visited thrice in 1921, once in 1922 and
twice in 1923; while the Benares asylum was
visited twice in each of the years 1921 and 1922
and once in 1923. The Bareilly asylum was inspected once, twice and
thrice in 1921, 1922 and 1923 respectively.
Buildings and works.
17. At Benares the construction of two iron cages over two wells
at a cost of Rs. 1,024 has been undertaken and
is in progress.
At Bareilly the only work of any importance was the re-thatching
and re-roofing of the Deputy Superintendent's quarters, and re-roofing
of the oil factory in the criminal enclosure and the Subordinate Medical
Officer's quarters. The pacca drains undertaken during the last trien¬
nium were completed in the year 1921.
At Agra one item calls urgently for construction, viz. a cook-house.
The present cook-house is a mere make-shift erected in an old kachcha
barrack. The space is insufficient, the ventilation wholly inadequate
and the sanitation appalling and beyond further remedy.
General.
18. At the Agra asylum the weaving factory, mill houses and
agriculture have steadily improved. In 1923 dal¬
husking was started in the female section and is
saving Government about Rs. 140 per mensem. Recreation is also seen
to. Football has been started among the patients and though so
far no proper game has been possible, much healthy exercise is obtained
by this means. In the better class section walking, tennis and football
are gone in for regularly.
( 9 )
Conclusion.
19. All the three asylums have been well managed and their work-
ing redounds credit to, and speaks well for, the
attention of the staff. In concluding I wish to
place on record the good work done by Lt.-Col. Overbeck-Wright and
Lt.-Col. Hepper.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
R. F. BAIRD,
LT.-COLONEL, I.M.S.,
Offg. Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals,
United Provinces.
