GENERAL REMARKS.
Meetings.
17. The general health of the male inmates was not satisfactory throughout the
year owing to causes detailed under "Vital-sickness and Mortality". The Female
Section which was occupied in September 1928 already shows a marked improvement
in health.
With the completion of the re-building project during the current year, I am
confident, there will be an improvement in the general health.
Diseases of overcrowding like dysentery and tubercle leave an aftermath .which
takes a few years to clear up.
ADMISSIONS.
18. Criminal lunatics constitute more than half of the total male population.
They are increasing steadily. The daily average has risen from 187*98 to 215*37
during the last 9 years.
When any vacancy occurred, preference was given to criminal lunatics.
Similarly, with non-criminals, such as could be accommodated after providing for
criminals, only the most serious and chronic cases—a selection of the worst cases
detained and under observation in jails—could be taken in and not the mild or acute
types which increase the percentage of cures.
The net result was that only criminal and dangerous non-criminal cases were
admitted, lheir stay is naturally prolonged.
The result of such a condition is manifest from the following figures :—

Such Cases can be dealt with under the provisions of sections 13 to 17 of the Indian
Lunacy Act (Act No. XXXII of 1923) as " non-criminal " mental patients and
sent to this hospital as such for treatment and safe custody. This would permit of
their early discharge on recovery and would obviate the ordeal of a trial.
20. Much unnecessary correspondence is entailed in the office of the Mental Hos-
pital owing to incomplete information being furnished by committing magistrates
and police. In some instances, an incomplete history is excusable, e.g., in the case of
wandering and homeless persons about whom nothing is known. But the omission of
the required section of the law in the committing order is not excusable. Columns 4t
and 8 of the descriptive roll are not, as a rule, properly filled in by the police.
WATER-SUPPLY.
21. There is a filtered water-supply from the Tezpur Water-works. The supply
is very insufficient though supplemented by a well. The Male Section and the whole
staff are suffering acutely from the shortage. The water-supply to the Female Section
by extra pumping at night continues ; this arrangement gives an ample supply to
that section only.
With the appointment of a Sanitary Engineer for the province, it is hoped that
p
the scheme for provision of an adequate water-supply will
rapidly mature.
There has been a long correspondence over several years on this question, and the
present state of affairs cannot continue. The reconstruction of the Mental Hospital
will be completed soon, and the water-supply cannot be left to the municipality any
longer. It would be far better for this institution to have a completely independent
water«supply.
22. Lieutenant-Colonel Ritchie has been in charge of the Mental Hospital for
many years and is to be much congratulated on his keen interest in the institution.
Khan Sahib Sub-Assistant Surgeon Mokhtar Hussain continues to deserve the
excellent opinions which have been expressed about him in previous years.
The work of Sub-Assistant Surgeon Krishna Kam Das and of the Steward Babu
Bepin Behari Sarma has been good.
