The total expenditure under
the different heads is shown
in the margin. The am-
ount expended on account
of salaries of Medical Officers
was less by Rs. 4,618-6-11
which was due to the fact
that during 1896 the per-
manent incumbents were
absent either on leave or on
deputation, which was not
the case in 1895, and the
officers who acted for them
drew less pay and exchange compensation allowance. The increase in the
cost of compounders, dressers, &c., was slight; that under the head of salaries of
menial servants is accounted for by the grant of an allowance for dearness of
food-grains, There were savings under the head of Bazar and European
medicines, due to economical management. Diet cost less owing to fewer
patients. Miscellaneous charges increased by Rs. 7,478-13 , 2 owing to purchase
cf new clothing and furniture. Building charges were less by Rs. 10,379.
60. Camibell Hospital.-The total expenditure is shown in the margin and
compar ed wi t h t nat of t he
Previous year. 'Ile decrease
under the head of Salaries of
Medical Officers was due to
the Superintendent having
drawn the reduced rate of
allowance of Rs. 250 per
mensem throughout the year
instead of for a portion of it,
as in 1895, and to the posts
of Resident Medical Officers
having been held by Civil
Hospital Assistants all through the year, whereas Assistant Surgeons held
charge of some of the appointments during a portion of 1895. Under the head of
salaries of nurses, there was an increase of Rs. 1,73245-7, attributable to the
fact that the 9 supervisors appointed in 1895 in place of four nurses drew
pay throughout the year 1896 instead of for two months in the former year
There was a small saving under the head of salaries of menial servants. The
cost of bazar and European medicines and diet was less owing to a smaller daily
average number of small-pox and other patients having been treated. The
amount spent on miscellaneous items increased by Rs. 1,024-13-7, as a large
amount of hospital clothing destroyed during the small-pox epidemic of 1895
was replaced in 1896. Of the special grant of Rs. 6,000 given by Government
in 1896-97 for bedding and fitting, Rs. 2,6598 was spent during the year
under review. There was a large saving in the cost of building and repairs.
al
The entire expenditure of this hospital is borne
by
Government The cost
under the different headings
is reproduced in the margin.
The saving under the head
of diet and miscellaneous
charges was due to a smaller
daily average number of
patients. The decrease
in the salaries of Medical
officers is attributable to
the fact that the post of
Resident Medical Officer was held by the senior Civil Hospital Assistant from
6th to 22nd October. and by a lower grade Assistant Surgeon from 23rd
October to the close of the year. The increase under the head of compounders,
dressers, &c., was nominal; that under the head. of menial establishment was
