To—The Secretary to the Government of India, Home Department.
I AM directed to submit, for the information of the Government of India,
a copy of the Annual Returns of the Lunatic Asylums in Bengal for the year
1907, with notes recorded thereon by the Inspector-General of Civil
Hospitals.
2. In reference to the concluding portion of paragraph 10 of the
Inspector-General's notes, I am to say that the question of generally amending
the law relating to Lunatic Asylums in Bengal, so as to adapt it to present day
requirements, is at present under the consideration of this Government, and
that proposals in this connection will, in due course, be submitted to the
Government of India for approval.
3. As regards the scheme for the Central Asylum for Europeans at
Ranchi, referred to in paragraph 13 of the Inspector-General's notes, I am to
say that the Committee's report and annexures will be transmitted to the
Government of India as soon as the estimate called for in the Home Depart-
ment telegram No. 484, dated the 7th instant, is furnished by the Public
Works Department of this Government,
