(5) Contingencies.—Under this heading is included the items ' contingencies '
and * cost of printed forms and stationery' detailed in Statement IX. Expenditure
at Madras was particularly increased under the heads of petty repairs and lime-
washing charges, funeral expenses, and railway and carriage hire for discharged
patients.
(6) Hospital necessaries and miscellaneous.—•The increase at Madras is due to
the furnishing of the extended male hospital, the purchase of some new weaving
looms, the replacement of iron cooking utensils by aluminium vessels, and additions
to the sanitary stock.
9. Paying Patients.—The numbers treated during the year were 77 at
Madras and 3 at each of the other asylums, as compared with 70, 3 and 2, respect-
ively, in 189S. The total collections realized an increase of Rs. 779-3-9 ; but at
Madras there was an increase of Rs. 1,091-12-6, the diminished collections at the
other asylums accounting for the deficiency. The new patients at the latter are
paying less than those of 1898; and at Vizagapatam there is a sum outstanding
with the Joint Magistrate, Kistna, for the year's maintenance of one patient.
10. Manufactures.—Details of the manufacturing operations during 1899
