Now that all the institutions in connection with the Mayo Hospital are in full working
order, it is most likely that there will be a considerable increase of patients, both in and out
-
door, during the present year.
5. Leaving out the building fund, the expenditure for the year amounted
t o
Rs. 42,732-8-4, and the receipts to Rs. 48,709-3-2; but, as the Mayo Hospital was only open
for a small part of the year, and as many subscriptions and other sources of income went
t o
the building account, these two sums do not truly represent what may be expected in future.
The permanent sources of income are—

The permanent expenditure may be set down at Rs. 48,000 per annum, which will leave
a deficit of upwards of Rs. 2,000 yearly to be made up by private subcriptions.
It is calculated, too, that considerable sums will periodically be required for repairs and
other extra expenses, which will also have to be met by subscriptions.

class 3, grade II of the revised rules of 1872. Native
Doctor Prankisto Mookerjee has continued in medical charge
throughout the year. From the subjoined statement it
would appear that the attendance has slightly decreased
a s
compared with the previous year.
Finances.
2. This institution is mainly supported by Mr. Thomas Apcar, Government supplying
medicines. In addition to the actual working expenses of the institution, which, during the
year, amounted to Rs. 960, Mr. Apear defrays the expense of keeping the building in which
it is located in thorough repair. Since the dispensary was brought under the new rules in June
last, Government has allowed Rs. 20 per mensem towards its support. No portion of
t h i s
grant, however, was drawn during the year.
