some of the cubicular barracks and the provision of a segregation area in con-
nection with the measures for the reduction of the spread of tubercle recently
recommended by Lieutenant-Colonel Forster, I.M.S., in his report on the
subject.
6. The number of permanent attendants of the asylum has now been
increased and an all-round enhancement of the pay of the warder establishment
at an additional cost of Rs. 4,878 per annum has been sanctioned. The
Lieutenant-Governor trusts that this substantial improvement in the con-
ditions of service will result in the attraction of a suitable class of warder
and that every effort will be made to employ as far as possible retired military
men.
7. The Lieutenant-Governor fully endorses Colonel MacWatt's appre-
ciation of the valuable work done by Captain Fleming, I.M.D., as Superinten-
dent, and by Sub-Assistant Surgeon Ali Gauhar Khan in combating the influ-
enza epidemic in the asylum. The self-sacrificing devotion of the Franciscan
Sisters in their care of the female patients cannot be too highly praised and
His Honour is glad to have once more the opportunity of repeating his
acknowledgments of their meritorious work.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
E. JOSEPH,
Revenue Secretary to Government, Punjab.
510 CS–340–27-5-19–SGPP Lahore.

Statement VIII—Cash accounts.
9. The total receipts under all heads were Rs. 1,73,813, about Rs. 7,000
less than the previous year, largely accounted for
by Public Works charges in 1917 being Rs. 23,000
more than in 1918 due to the addition of a top storey in the Quarantine block—
Cash receipts from the treasury are approximately Rs. 17,000 more, attributable
to the high prices prevailing for all articles, Receipts from paying patients
are less by 557 rupees, which was only to be expected owing to the transfer of
most of the European insanes, who constitute the bulk of paying patients, to
Ranchi.
Statement X.—Manufactures.
10. The total credits show an advance of about Rs 3,000 in 1917,
though the actual cash deposit is Rs. 640 less, due
to falling off in orders for saleable articles, the
demand for which will probably revive with the return of normal conditions.
General.
11. The population shows the usual annual progressive increase. The arri-
val of military insanes has helped to inflate it,
but apart from this accidental source there is a
definite augmentation of the numbers received from the civil population
of the province and the areas served by the Asylum. There has been a
certain amount of overcrowding confined to the male section, but
it has never been acute. It is hoped that proposals will be submitted
before long to remedy this. Arrangements to check the spread of tubercle
should materialise by the end of the current financial year by the purchase of a
large area of land adjacent to the asylum for necessary extensions : for this
Rs. 23,540 has already been allotted,
12. During the year electric motors have been substituted for steam
power to work the wells which supply drinking water, the result being increas-
ed efficiency and diminished cost. The drainage of the male asylum has been
improved. Four rooms have been added for accommodation of European
females, or Indian ladies of the better class who are now admitted in pro-
gressively increasing numbers.
In accordance with the scheme 6 male and 10 female European
patients have been transferred to Ranchi Central European Asylum.
Attendants, staff.
13. Proposals for improving the pay of the attendant staff are engaging
the attention of Government, It is hoped that
better men will be obtained, and it is intended
to recruit more largely from time-expired men of the Indian Army.
Staff.
14. Captain J. F. Fleming, I.M.D., has discharged the onerous and
multifarious duties of Superintendent in a highly
efficient manner.
Sub-Assistant Surgeon Ali Gauhar Khan rendered valuable services
during the epidemic of influenza. The Franciscan Sisters have, as usual,
carried out their duties with zeal, devotion and self-abnegation, worthy of all
praise.

FROM
THE HON'BLE MR. E. JOSEPH, I.C.S.,
Revenue Secretary to Government, Punjab,
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, HOME
DEPARTMENT.
Dated Simla, the 28th May 1920.

SIR,
I AM directed to forward, for the information of the Government of
India, the statistical tables of the Punjab Lunatic Asylum for the year 1919
with a note by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, and to convey
the following remarks of the Lieutenant-Governor.
2. The number of inmates of the Asylum, which had continued to rise
for a number of years, received a check during the year under review. This is,
however, not to be taken as a sign of any decrease in the popularity of the
institution, for in 1918 the numbers were swelled by an influx of military
patients who recovered rapidly and were discharged. The daily average
strength of the Asylum was less than one-and-a-half below the maximum
figure of 876.44 reached in the previous year, and overcrowding still continues
in the male section. The situation, however, should be eased when the con-
templated blocks for criminal insanes and for tubercular patients are erected.
3. The health of the inmates was generally satisfactory, although
influenza again appeared in a mild form at the end of the year. The total
number of deaths fell from 130 to 92 and the rise in the daily average of sick
from 82.74 to 90.58 is due to cases of less serious nature being admitted to
the hospital.
4. The sums received from paying patients have further decreased
by about Rs. 1,000 owing to the transfer of the European inmates to the
Ranchi Asylum. The increase of about Rs. 30,000 in total charges is due to
a rise in prices, enhanced salaries of the attendant staff and increase in Public
Works Departmental charges.
5. The number of patients in whose case hereditary insanity was the
predisposing cause has decreased from 61 to 45, but the chief cause of insanity
in the patients admitted during the year was the use of hemp drugs.
There was no serious case of escape.
6. The Lieutenant-Governor is disappointed to find that in spite of
an enhancement of the pay of the warder establishment it has not been possible
to obtain the services of retired military men of the right stamp.
7. Sir Edward Maclagan wishes to record his appreciation of the
services of Major Fleming, I.M.D., who has carried on the duties of Superin-
tendent for the last four years single-handed with efficiency. His acknowledg-
ments are also due to the Franciscan sisters who continue to look after the
welfare of the female patients with their usual devotion. The Revd. Mother
Simon, Lady Superior of the Sisters, has since received a Kaisar-i-Hind Medal
of the first class in recognition of the work done by the sisters.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
E. JOSEPH,
Revenue Secretary to Government, Punjab.
