The average cost per head has been Rs. 90-2-0, and the net cost
Rs. 111-8-1, as per detailed statement attached.
11. Paying Patients.—Of paying patients there remained on the 1st
January 1889 7 males and 3 females. Four males were admitted and 3 males and
1 female were discharged, leaving 8 males and 2 females under treatment at the
end of the year.
Endeavours were made to recover the cost of maintenance of non-
criminal lunatics from their estates or relatives through Deputy Commissioners,
but with only very partial success, most of the inmates being paupers. The
contributions for the maintenance of non-criminal lunatics from Ajmere were
not received during the year. Rupees 69-11-8 were realized from paying patients
at Delhi, Rs. 32 from Nusseerabad, Rs. 8 from Jodhpur, and Rs. 2-7-9 from
Bareilly, through the Deputy Commissioner, Umballa.
12. Employment.—A daily average number of 47 were at work out of
an average daily strength of 96.27—6 on weaving, 21 on grinding wheat,
2 on gardening, 9 on carrying dry-earth, and 3 in assisting the menials ; 6 females
were employed spinning wool. The remainder either did not care to, or were
not fit for, work of any kind.
13. Manufactory.—The profit on the labor of the lunatics amounted to
Rs. 606-12-7 against Rs. 792-14-8. There was a large supply of clothing in
stock at the close of 1888, and only a small number of blankets were made; hence
the decrease.
14. Buildings.—A boiler and soaking tank were completed and are in
use. Drains are under construction. The usual repairs have been executed.
Ventilators have been put in the solitary cells.
15. Establishment. — Surgeon-Major Bate was in charge from the 1st to the
24th January, from the 3rd March to the 22nd May, and again from the 26th
October to the 13th December; Surgeon Little from the 26th January to the
2nd March ; and Surgeon Nicholson from the 22nd May to the 26th October and
from 13th December to the end of the year. There was one escape during the
year of which a separate report has been submitted.
16. Conduct of Officials.—The following officials were punished during
the past year :—one warder dismissed for allowing a criminal lunatic to escape,
1 warder reduced from 1st to 2nd class, and one was fined.
