ing the amount invested,
was Rs. 55,481-0-2 or
Rs. 69-6-8 less than in the
previous year. The pro
-
portion contributed by

The total cost of each insti
-

due to the larger number of patients. Miscellaneous charges amounted to
Rs. 5,209-11-10 against Rs. 6,997-9-10 in 1899. The expenditure in the latter

European medicines cost Rs. 3,495-9-10 against Rs. 3,549 in the previous year.
The cost of menial establishment was more by Rs. 99-6-6 than in the previous
year owing to the grant of an increase of pay to some of the servants. The
other items of expenditure do not call for special notice.
The total expenditure at the Chandney Hospital shows a decrease of
Rs. 692-13-6, as less was spent on surgical instruments and furniture. The cost
of up-keep of the Park Street, Chitpur and Sukea's Street Dispensaries does not
present any unusual variations calling for comment. Rupees 2,472-15-9 was
spent during the year in purchasing 4 per cent. municipal debentures to the
value of Rs. 2,500.

of Rs. 956-6-7, as will be
seen from the figures given in
the marginal table. The ex
-cess under the heads of bazar
and European medicines, diet
and miscellaneous charges
was due to the larger num
-

1900. There was a saving
of Rs. 1,321 in building
charges. The variations in
the cost under other headings
were unimportant.

year. The amount paid by Government shows a reduction of Rs 1,972-10-10,
the figures having been Rs. 5,427-8-10 against Rs. 7,400-3-8 in 1899. The
decrease was due to a smaller expenditure on European medicines as Me
supply received in 1899 met a portion of the requirements of 1900. 'The
municipal contributions increased by Rs. 600, owing to the payment of arrears
1899.
