27. Repairs and maintenance—Cost Rs. 259-12-7
less than in 1895. Dullunda and Berhampore
showed a decrease.
Patna repaired its store
godown, and thus increased the cost by Rs. 80-7-2.
The usual table showing the incidence of cost
per head on account of contingencies is given in
the margin.
28. Rates and taxes—Amounted to Rs. 3,981-10, against Rs. 4,101-10 in
1895. There was no change in the cost at Dullunda, Dacca, Patna and Cuttack.
Berhampore expended nothing on account of latrine-tax, whereas in 1895 it had
to pay for the first quarter of the year. This explains the decrease in 1896.
29. Printed forms and stationery —Show an increase of Rs. 16-6-3.
Dullunda obtained new registers which account for the increase of Rs. 18-13-9.
The cost elsewhere does not call for comment.
30. European medicines—Show a reduction of Rs. 190-5-4. Dullunda
spent Rs. 165-11-1 less than in the last year. The Superintendent states that
the cost shown in the accounts represents the value of medicines supplied on a
combined indent for both Dullunda and Bhawanipur asylums. He will be
instructed to show in future the cost of medicines for the two institutions
under his charge separately. Dacca spent less by obtaining a smaller supply
of medicines, as a large quantity remained in stock. Berhampore also shows
a small decrease. Cuttack indented for a larger quantity in 1896, which
accounts for the increase of Rs. 16-11-9. At Patna the expenditure was more
by Rs. 21-11-3, owing to the increased use of bromides in the treatment
of epileptics.
31. The Public Works Department spent Rs. 3,401-15-9, or Rs. 5,009-15-5
less than in 1895. The asylum authorities have no control over this item.
Cuttack shows an increase of Rs. 270-11-6, which was due to annual repairs.
32. The following is an abstract of the cash account of the different
asylums in 1896:—
