ANNUAL REPORT ON LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
CONTINGENCIES,—The increase under this item in Madras was chiefly due to the
payment of taxes on buildings for 1891 and 1892 during the year.
In Waltair it was due to the extra charge incurred in connection with the
transfer of the criminal insanes to Madras and to the outlay towards a water cart
and bullocks purchased for asylum's use.
In Calicut the increase was due to a similar cause and to an increased outlay
on buildings.
21. The value of garden produce during the year was in Madras Rs.
180-11-11, in Waltair Rs. 74-8-11, and Calicut Rs. 267-5-0. There was a de-
crease in Madras, which is explained by the Superintendent as being due to the
tenders for the fruit contract being lower in 1892 than in 1891, and the outturn of
vegetables low in consequence of the abandonment of the old criminal enclosure
gardens on the removal of the lunatics to the new gaol.
The average monthly cost of dieting a European or an East Indian paying
patient was Rs. 18-14-4 and that of a native Rs. 13-15-6, the cost of pauper
patients was Rs. 9-7-8 for Europeans, and Rs. 5-13-10 for natives.
In Waltair there were two paying patients, military pensioners, a moiety of
their pension pay Rs. 7 per mensem having been appropriated. Two military
insanes were also treated during the first two months of the year, and their main-
tenance charge was paid by the Military Department and credited to Government.
In Calicut the cost was Rs. 3-15-4 for a pauper patient and that for a paying
patient Rs. 8-11-6 per mensem.
22. STATEMENT XI.—As the form of this statement has been considered faulty,
only so much of it as is likely to yield correct results has been retained this year.
Out of a mean population of 570.64, on an average 390 insanes were employed
on industries in the asylum, and a profit of Rs. 6,478-13-8 was made against
Rs. 5,444-10-2 in 1891.
A supplementary statement is appended showing the average number em-
ployed in each kind of industry with the estimated cost of the same.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
W. F. DEFABECK, M.D., Surgeon-Major-General,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Madras.

27TH MAY 1893, Nos. 1080, 1081, JUDICIAL.
GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS.
JUDICIAL
DEPARTMENT.
READ—the following paper:—
From the Surgeon-General with the Government of Madras, dated 1st May
1893, No. O-43.
ABSTRACT.—Submitting the annual report on Lunatic Asylums in the Madras Presidency
for the year 1892, and stating that the complete report was sent to the Press on the 29th March
and the interval has been taken up in printing it.
ORDER—dated 27th May 1893, No. 1080, Judicial.
The Surgeon-General must see that the report upon the administration of
Lunatic Asylums reaches Government by the date fixed (15th April) ; it has again
been received late, and on this occasion the delay is said to have occurred in the
Press.
2. In paragraphs 2-6 of the report, the Surgeon-General suggests certain im-
provements in the Madras Asylum buildings. With reference to paragraph 3 he will
observe that further information has been called for in G.O., dated 21st March 1893,
No. 604, Judicial. Proposals regarding the construction of day-sheds near the kitchen
and the extension of the drainage-system are awaited ; the latter should be expedited,
the matter has already been under discussion too long. The attention of the Public
Works Department will be invited to the Surgeon-General's remark that the filter,
the construction of which was sanctioned in G.O., dated 16th August 1892,
No. 1506, Judicial, has not yet been completed; the work is of an urgent character
and should receive early attention.
3. The figures in paragraph 7 of the report show that the accommodation
available at the Madras Asylums is largely in excess of requirements, and the Govern-
ment hopes that it will be found possible when the East Coast Railway is completed
to abolish the Asylum at Waltair and transfer all lunatics from the Northern Districts
to Madras. It is observed that in the paragraph referred to above the Waltair Asylum
appears as capable of accommodating 55, whereas in Statement I the figure given
is 63 ; the difference should be explained.
4. Some particulars regarding the population of the Asylums during the last 5
years appear below:—
