The total amount expended under all heads shows a decrease of
Rs. 12,011-4-5. The average cost per head also fell off from Rs. 118-7 in
1897 to Rs. 106-1-5 in 1898. Deducting receipts from paying patients, the
net cost was Rs. 104-2-7, against Rs. 115-12-5 in 1897, and deducting again
the expenditure on
public works and for
rates
and taxes,
Rs. 90-6-7, against
Rs. 100-14-9 in 1897.
As usual the compa-
rative statement of
cost in each asylum
is given in the mar-
gin. The variations
under the different
heads have already been explained.
34. Income.—The receipts from paying patients amounted to Rs. 1,780-6-6,
against Rs. 2,472-12-6 in 1897. Dullunda shows a falling off of Rs. 565-3-6,
due to three paying patients having been discharged and none admitted during
the year under review. At Dacca also there was a diminution of Rs. 92-0-9.
