Rs. 983-15-0, or a decrease of Rs. 246-14-9. In last year's report it was noted
that the price of two cows was included under this heading. If we then deduct
Rs. 200, being the amount paid for the cows, we get the real sum expended last
year on contingencies proper, namely, Rs. 783-15-0, or Rs. 46-14-9 more than
that expended this year; this was owing to the price of kerosine-oil being less in
1887 than in 1886.
The subjoined statement shows the average daily number of lunatics for
1887, the total yearly expenditure, average cost of each insane, and the average

The total cost of each lunatic in 1887 was Rs. 105-0-4 as compared with
Rs. 100-5-11 in 1886, or Rs. 4-10-5 more than last year.
Statement X contains the sanctioned establishment at the close of the year
and requires no remarks.
Statement XI.—From the proceeds of manufactures, &c., during 1887
Rs. 7,260-15-6 were remitted to the treasury as compared with Rs. 6,402-15-5
in 1886. Adding together the profit from manufactures, and receipts from
miscellaneous sources, the amount realized from paying patients and from
Municipalities, which make up Rs. 11,851-12-6, and deducting this from the
total expenditure of Rs. 23,497-5-7 we get a balance of Rs. 12,645-9-1 as the
actual cost to Government on account of the asylum during the year, and the
average cost of each lunatic is Rs. 56-8-4, or Rs. 11-4-9 less than the previous
year.
This difference is of course due to the fact of Municipalities paying for
maintenance of pauper lunatics.
Taking into account the money received from relatives for the maintenance of
patients, the amount received from Municipalities, and the money value of the
labour of the inmates, it is calculated that each lunatic on an average contributed
Rs. 48-8-0.
The following is a detailed comparative statement of the money received
for maintenance, labour, sale of articles produced or manufactured at the asylum,
and from miscellaneous sources :—
