LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN BENGAL.
57. Finance.—Revised forms of statements Nos. IX and XI, showing the
finance of the asylums, were framed and sanctioned by Government in letter
No. 810, dated 2nd August last, but as their final adoption has not as yet
received the sanction of the Government of India, the old standard forms have
been used in 1880. Statement No. XI, showing the manufacture accounts, has
been given in the report in the amended form, in addition to the standard table
published in the appendix. Statement No. IX has not been separately given
in the revised form, but all points relating to the additional items therein specified
have been separately treated.

58. The total expenditure in 1880, inclusive of the value of articles
(Rs. 10,918-11-1) received from asylum manufactures, amounted to
Rs. 81,412-6-11. In 1879 the amount was Rs. 96,648-9-2 inclusive of Rs. 12,375,
which was the value of stores made over for asylum use. In 1878 the cost of
the Hazaribagh Asylum—viz. Rs. 18,521—being included, the total outlay was
Rs. 1,21,936. The decrease in expenditure in 1880 over that of 1878 and 1879
was Rs. 22,003 and Rs. 15,236 respectively. From the former figure the
amount expended for the Hazaribagh Asylum has been excluded for compari-
son, though the inmates existed elsewhere.
59. The average annual cost per patient was Rs. 92-5-3 in 1880, against
Rs. 108-9-6 in 1879, and, deducting the actual profits from the manufacture
department and maintenance of patients, the cost per head was Rs. 82-1-8,
against Rs. 95-15-8.
60. The cost of establishment at Dullunda was reduced from Rs. 77-4-6
per head in 1879 to Rs. 67-0-3 in 1880. This was due to the lower salary
of the Superintendent, which affected the entire year, and to a small reduc-
tion in establishment proper. The salary of the Deputy Superintendent, which
had been partially paid from Imperial funds during his absence in Europe in
1879, caused an increase under this head in 1880 of Rs. 755. The net reduc-
tion per patient for superintendence and establishment at Dullunda was
Rs. 10-4-3 in 1880. There was slight reduction of establishment at Dacca,
Patna, and Cuttack, and an increase of six annas three pie per head at
Berhampore, which was chiefly due to the decrease in the daily average
population, and partly to the overseer and clerk being allowed the annual
increments to which they were entitled. The cost of superintendence and
establishment proper is shown below—
