LUNATIC ASYLUMS OF BENGAL.

have no control over this expenditure. At Dullunda there was an increase of
Rs. 1,470-5, which was due to repairs done to buildings damaged by the earth-
quake of the 12th June, to plastering and white-washing the female ward, and to
the erection of a Larymore's patent cooking range, which was also fitted with
pipes. At Dacca extensive annual repairs were done to the buildings, which
were also damaged by the earthquake. This accounts for the increase of
Rs. 3,235-12-7 in 1897. Patna shows an increase of Rs. 484, which was due
to the reconstruction of a portion of the asylum wall damaged by the earthquake,
and rendered quite unsafe by the heavy floods which followed it. At
Cuttack there was a reduction of Rs. 679-3-6, while at Berhampore the quadren-
nial repairs account for the increase of Rs. 3,148-11 in 1897.
