The principal causes of increase in expenditure were :—
(1) Public Works Department charges, (2) incrense in number of inmates and
consequent increase in the dietary charges, contingencies and charges for clothing ami
bedding, (3) increase in the prices of articles all round, and (4) increase in the pay of
establishment.' The principal item of expenditure was the cost of diet which
amounted to Rs. 30,034-4-9 in 1918, Rs. 42,770-4-11 in 1919 and Rs. 42,976-15-5 hi
1920 against Rs. 21,507-5-9 in 1915, Rs. 28,551-7-11 in 1916 and Rs. 30,014-6-7 i n
1917. The average cost of diet per lunatic was Rs. 79-11-8 in 1918, Rs. 106-3-G in
1919 and Rs. K 7 : 13-2 in 1920 against Rs. G6-3-1 in 1915, Rs. 79-4-6 in 1916 and
Rs. 87-11-6 in 1917.
The receipts from paying patients were Rs. 452-12-3 in 1918, Rs. 490-1-10 in 1019
and Rs. 440-5-9 in 1920 against Rs. 472-13-11, Rs. 530-8-3 and Rs. 495-12-4 in 1915
1916 and 1917, respectively. The profits on manufactures in 1918 were Rs. 5,975-12-5
in 1919, Rs. 9,U0-I3-5 and in 1920, Rs. 10,575-2-11 against Rs. 7,240-9-9 in 191s'
Rs. 8,403-2-4 in 1916 and Rs. 5,lS9-5-8 in 1917.
Miscellaneous.
The male inmates are mainly employed on cultivation of vegetables, sugarcane,
repairs of building and palisading, manufacture of molases
unpoyn.en o uua ICS.
{gur), tailoring, mat-making and basket-making, Eemalcs
are employed in paddy boiling, husking and sundry petty works.
During the triennium under review a temporary barrack for 26 males and one
pucca building with 16 separate rooms for filthy patients
have been constructed, increasing the accommodation for
males from 289 to 331; that for 97 females is the same as in the last triennium. The
overcrowding has been relieved by the construction of these buildings and conversion
of a godown into a barrack. The construction of a pucca barrack for 26 inmates is in
progress.
Tiie maximum number of lunatics confined on any one night during the tricli-
nium was 330 males and 84 females, i.e., a total of 414.

Accommodation.
The water-supply and food are good and sufficient. Extra allowance of milk,
rum, e^ and mustard oil are given to the inmates of poor health and to tubercular
cases. There is an ample supply of vegetables grown in the Asylum. Great care is
taken in the matter of personal cleanliness and that of bedding and clothing which is
regularly boiled and washed.
During the triennium under report the Asylum was visited twice by the Chief
Commissioner of Assam, thrice by the Commissioner,
n&poc 10n '
Assam Valley Districts, and five times by the Inspector-
General of Civil Hospitals, Assam. There were 35 meetings of the Committee of
visitors against the same number in the previous triennium.
The health of the Asylum population has improved during tho triennium.
Credit is dae to Major J. W. McCoy, I.M.S., for his
careful administration of the Asylum.

Resolution on the Report on the working of the Provincial
Lunatic Asylum in Assam for the triennium 1918-20.
Extract from the Proceeding* of the Governor of Assam and the Minister of Educa-
tion in the Municipal Department^ No. 25431/., dated the 9th June 1921.
HEAD—
The Triennial Report OQ the Provincial Lunatic Asylum in Assam for the years 1918, 1919 and
1920.
READ ALSO—
The Annual Returns of the Asylum for the years 1918 and 1919.
RESOLUTION.
THE number of lunatics detained in the Tezpur Lunatic Asylum rose from 1,356
in the previous triennium to 1,151 in the triennium under report. The daily average
strength increased from 3iL'44 in 1917 to 393*53 in 19i0. Admissions from the
districts of Sylhet, Sibsagar, Kamrup, Cachar and Darrang were most numerous. The
question of the admission of criminal lunatics has lately engaged the attention of
Government. Orders have been passed with a view to limiting such admissions to
absolutely necessary cases.
2. It is satisfactory that the number of re-admission9 fell from 32 to 18. The
percentage of mortality continued to be low and, in spite of the increase in the
number of inmates, the number of deaths fell from 100 to 57.
3. Overcrowding in the Asylum has been relieved by the construction of a tem-
porary barrack for 2J males, and of a yucca building with 10 sepa v ate rooms for
patients of unclean habits. Apitcca barrack for 23 inmates is now being built.
4. There were 69 escapes compared with 63 in last triennium. The number is
unduly large, and it is hoped that all possible steps will be taken to reduce it,
5. The thanks of Government are due to Major McCoy for his efficient adminis-
tration of the Asylum and to Lieutenant-Colonel Deare for his report.
