The increase of Rs. 8,999 in the total expenditure is virtually accounted
for by larger expenditure on account of buildings and repairs and the increased
demand for rates and taxes, neither of which items, as Dr. Harvey points
out, are under the control of the Asylum authorities. The Public Works
Department spent Rs. 11,518-8 on asylums during the year, as compared with
Rs. 5,280-4-8 in 1893, Rs. 2,536-10 in 1892, and Rs. 11,544-7-5 in 1891.
The expenditure of 1894 included Rs. 5,074-12-9 at Dullunda for a new latrine
and sewage connexions, and Rs. 3,366-14-3 at Dacca for raising part of the walls,
improved ventilation, and a mortuary. The increase under rates and taxes
was caused by demands appealed against as excessive in 1893 having to be met
during 1894.
12. The expenditure under the large head of " Diet " shows a reduction of
Rs. 342-3-8. The average cost of feeding patients was—Dullunda, Rs. 42-0-6;
Dacca, Rs. 43-10-3 ; Patna, Rs. 35-5-11 ; Cuttack, Rs. 40-6-4 ; and Berhampore,
Rs. 34-11-8, as compared with Rs. 41-9-5, Rs. 44-11-6, Rs. 32-3-2, Rs. 38-7-1 and
Rs. 35-15-4 respectively in 1893. The slight increase at Dullunda was due
to extra diet allowed to the large number of patients treated in hospital for
debility. At Patna and Cuttack food-grains are dearer, and the average at the
latter asylum was further increased by the presence of a single Eurasian inmate.
13. The gross cost of each lunatic at the different asylums and the cost
per head of average strength, taking all charges into account, is compared in the

The causes of the increases shown have been explained above. The
average cost at Cuttack, as was stated in the Resolution on the Report for 1893,
is necessarily high owing to the small number of inmates.

No. D/51.
FROM SURGEON-COLONEL G. C. ROSS,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bengal,
To THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL,
FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT.
Dated Darjeeling, the 6th June 1896.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit the report on the Lunatic Asylums
in Bengal for the year 1895, with the usual returns and statements, and to state
that I regret the delay that has occurred in its submission. This was due to
my absence on leave, from which I returned on the 8th May 1896.
2. Population.—The following abstract of statement No. I gives the main
facts as to the population of the five asylums for natives for 1895 and the ten
previous years :—

death, and an increase of four in the daily average strength. The proportion
of criminal to non-criminal lunatics on the 31st December was 51.03 as com-
pared with 50.16 in 1894.

There was an increase at Dullunda of 12, for which the Superintendent
can assign no reason. There was a falling off in the remaining four asylums.
At Berhampore the decrease was largest, viz. 14. Next comes Dacca with a fall
of 11; the only reason that can be given for it is that 11 lunatics were received
from the Dacca district against 20 in 1894. Decreases in the number of
admissions, as stated last year, are accidental and cannot be explained. In fact,
the Superintendent of the Berhampore Asylum cannot offer any reason for the
decrease noticed above.

It is satisfactory to find a reduction in the number of readmissions at
Dullunda, Of the seven, four were readmitted after trial, and three were cases
of recurrent insanity after temporary recovery,—one having been readmitted
after 10 years 7 months and 12 days, the other after two years, and the third
after 4 years and 10 months. The number of readmissions at Dacca was
larger than in any of the previous ten years. Ten of the 13 were criminals—
eight sent back after trial and two readmitted from jail. The remaining three
were non-criminals, two of whom had been discharged from the asylum
after temporary recovery, and one made over to his friends as a harmless
lunatic, but sent back as he became unmanageable. Of the two read-
missions at Patna, one was an example of recurrent lunacy after 4 years
2 months and 20 days, and the other a criminal sent back to the asylum after
trial.
