The average cost per head was Rs. 199-10-3 as compared with
Rs. 149-14-11 in 1914, an increase mainly due to building works, increased cost
of diet and bedding and clothing.
STATEMENT IX.
The general conduct of the staff has been much the same. We are unable
to secure good men of good caste and have, therefore, to cope with a good deal
of shirking of duty among the keepers.
The lunatics were employed in gardening, atta and dal-making, dari-weav-
ing, carpentry and smith's work, etc. A weaving machine (Hatterslee's loom)
was purchased in 1915. The net profit in 1915 was Rs. 1,758 against Rs, 1,655
in 1914.
GENERAL REMARKS.
Amusements of various kinds were provided throughout the year at a cost
of Rs. 96. The system of rewarding hard-working and well-behaved lunatics
was continued during the year under report. Newspapers and books were
provided to literate lunatics. The infirm gang system was maintained with
advantage to the weakly and debilitated patients. Prophylactics were issued
to the lunatics during the unhealthy season of the year. Additional wards,
both for males and females as well as a female hospital and a phthisical ward,
have been constructed. Steps are being taken to provide a new ward for
criminals with 40 beds.
