being excluded, the daily average of which was 33*97 against 32 81 in 1921. Th e
increase in number of admissions to hospital was due to an outbreak of influenza
epidemic and a largo number of malarial cases. The fall in daily average sick was
due to the discharge of 32 tubercular cases, they being found free from all tubercular
signs and symptoms.

FINANCE.
12. Excluding receipts from paying patients and miscellaneous receipts which
^e credited to Government the total expenditure on the up-keep of the Mental
hospital amounted to Rs. 82,023-9-1 against Ks. 66,717-9-1 in 1921. The average
cost per head was Rs. 181-13-0 against Rs. 203-4-3 in the previous year. The fall
n ex penditure is due to a decrease on account of Public Works Department charges
4
as well as of cost of English stores. Excluding the Public Works Department
charges, repairs and maintenance charges, rates and taxes, receipts from paying
patients and profits on manufactures, the average cost per inmate works out to
Rs. 143-4-10 against Rs. 155-6-5 in 1921. The profits in the manufactory department
were Rs. 13,314-9-2 against Rs. 10,627-14-0 in 1921 or an average of Rs. 71-4-11.
per head of inmates employed on manufactures. The cost of diet amounted to
Rs. 44,909-2-0 against Rs. 42,645-1-2 in 1921. The average cost of diet per head
was Rs. 101-3-0 against Rs. 9^-15-4 in 1921. The increase in the cost of diet was
due to the rise in the prices of milk.

patients' ward, there was on the 1st January 1922
accommodation for 356 males and 86 females or a total
of 442. The decrease in accommodation by one is due to a room in Tubercle cubical
ward being used as a guard roon?. No new ward was constructed during the year
under review. The maximum number confined on any one night during the year
was 455 (365 males and 90 females). Additional accommodation both for males and
