REPORT ON THE
less by a mistake. The amount received as interest in invested capital was
Rs. 3,034-4-11, against Rs. 3,100-12-4 in 1899.
The details of expenditure are given in the margin. Under the head of
salaries of medical officers,
there was an increase of
Rs. 1,935, which was due to
the post of Resident Physi--
cian having been held by a
separate medical officer for
a longer period in the year
under report than in the pre--
vious year. The cost of the
nursing establishment shows
an increase of Rs. 1,286-8-0.
The amount paid by
Government was less by
Rs. 5,726-10-3, while that
borne by the funds of the Hospital Nurses' Institution shows an increase of
Rs. 7,013-2-3. These adjustments are made by the Ladies' Committee of that
Institution. There was a saving of Rs. 1,439-13-4 under the head of
diet, attributable to a lower contract rate, and to a smaller daily average
number of European patients. The average cost of daily diet was for
Europeans 0-6-11¼ against 0-7-0½ in 1899; and for natives, 0-3-2¼ against
0-3-3¾ in the previous year. Miscellaneous charges were also less by
Rs. 1,953-12-10, as a smaller amount was expended on clothing. The cost of
building and repairs went up by Rs. 16,911, owing chiefly to improvements in
the operation theatre. The expenditure under the other headings does not
call for notice.

It chiefly occurred in the
salaries of medical officers,
owing to the post of the
House Surgeon having been
held by an Assistant Surgeon
of the lower grade through-
-out the year. The decrease
in the cost of diet was due
to a smaller daily average
number of patients in 1900.
The variations under other headings were unimportant.
74. Eye Hospital.— Government bore 95.42 per cent. of the total expendi--
ture against 98.08 in 1899.
The details of the expendi-
-ture are reproduced in the
margin. The cost of diet
shows a reduction of
Rs. 489-10-9, chiefly due to
lower contract rates The
differences under other head-
-ings do not call for special
notice.
