LUNATIC ASYLUMS OF BENGAL.
was only Rs. 115-2-11 as compared with Rs. 776-6-11 at Dullunda. There is
room for economy in this institution, and the attention of the Superintendent
has been drawn to these remarks. The slight increase at Dacca and Cuttack
calls for no remark. Berhampore obtained a smaller supply of medicines, as it
had some in stock. Patna also shows a decrease. The cost in 1894 was swelled
by the purchase of a pocket case.
Dullunda expended Rs. 24-11-6 for entertainments of lunatics, which the
Superintendent has shown under the head of miscellaneous expenditure.
28. The Public Works Department spent Rs. 8,411-15-2 as compared with
Rs. 11,518-8 in 1894—a decrease of Rs. 3,106-8-10. This is an item of
expenditure over which the Asylum authorities have no control. At Dullunda
there was a diminution of Rs. 3,629-14-9, although quadrennial repairs
were done and certain additions and alterations made to the buildings. In
1894 the bulk of the expenditure was due to the construction of a new latrine
for lunatics and warders and to sewage communications for latrines and cook-
sheds. Dacca also shows a decrease of Rs. 1,399-2-8, which was partly due to
the annual repairs being less extensive than in 1894. In the latter year a
good deal of improvements was done. Owing to quadrennial repairs, the
expenditure at Patna was Rs. 1,445-13-4. This was also the reason of the
increase at Cuttack. The increase at Berhampore was small. It may be
remarked that these variations depend on the various works required in the
several asylums, and have no bearing on the question of economy of manage-
ment.

asylums in 1895:—
