DISPENSARIES IN RAJPUTANA.
135. In Ajmer-Merwara the total expenditure rose from R22,723 in 1916
to R22,929 in 1917 under head buildings or repairs and salaries of Medical
Officers. All other heads show some decrease as compared with the previous
year.
136. Native States.—The total expenditure on Hospitals and Dispensaries
in Native States of Rajputana amounted to R4,85,648 against R4,72,800 in
the previous year. This increase in expenditure is attributed to increased cost
of drugs and materials owing to the War. The cost of Europe Medicines
increased from R1,12,829 in 1916 to R1,34,819 in 1917 ; of Bazaar Medicines
from R7,650 to R9,008, and of miscellaneous charges from R34,263 to R34,956.
137. Of the total expenditure on Hospitals and Dispensaries in the Native
States, R87,525 were expended in Jaipur, R77,489 in Marwar, R55,355 in
Kotah, R48,308 in Bharatpur, R46,376 in Bikaner, R43,859 in Mewar,
R37,163 in Alwar, R15,143 in Jhalawar, R11,812 in Tonk, R8,917 in Dholpur,
R7,682 in Karauli, R6,520 in Dungarpur, R5,103 in Kishangarh, R4,467 in
Shahpura, R4,438 in Banswara, R4,286 in Sirohi, R4,102 in Bundi, R4,068 in
Partabgarh, R3,344 in Jaisalmer and R1,149 in Kushalgarh.
138. The average cost of each case treated in Ajmer-Merwara and in the
Native States Hospitals and Dispensaries was 55 pies and 53 pies against 61
pies and 60 pies in 1916.
Mission Hospitals.
189. During the year there were 7 Mission Hospitals in Rajputana, the
same as in 1916.

victs due to (2) Pneumonia and (1) Tubercle of lungs : and one among the

mille of average strength from 18.43 to 23.94 due to Malaria after heavy and

way under him.

APPENDIX A.
Review on the Ajmer Jail Report for the year 1917.

AJMER CENTRAL JAIL.
5. Of the 601 convicts admitted into the Jail 66 were awarded simple
imprisonment, 524 rigorous imprisonment, 10 rigorous imprisonment with
solitary confinement and 1 rigorous imprisonment with whipping.
6. Previous convictions.—The number of previously convicted prisoners
admitted during the year under review was 109 as against 189 in the previous
year, their percentage to the total number of convicts admitted being 18.14.
7. Employment of convicts.—Excluding sick and convalescent from whom
occasional labour is taken, the daily average number of convicts sentenced to
labour on working days was 317.61.
8. Conduct of prisoners.—The number of Jail punishments of all kinds
inflicted was 268 as compared with 520 in 1916.
9. There was no escape of convicts during the year but two undertrial
prisoners escaped owing to the faulty construction of the ward—a defect which
has now been remedied.
10. Health.—The general health of the prisoners was good.
The number of admissions to the Jail Hospital was 317 against 191 in
1916. There were 4 deaths in 1917 as against 3 in 1916.
11. There was no juvenile prisoner in Jail on 1st January 1917. 13 boys
were admitted during the year under review. Out of these 13, 12 were
released and one remained at the close of the year.
12. The profits from Jail manufactures amounted to R855-15-1 against
R100-2-9 in 1916, the average earning per head of prisoners employed on
Jail manufactures being R6-2-7 against R0-7-4 in 1916. This increase is due
to the recovery of arrears in this year and to the better working of the Jail
Factory.
13. Expenditure.—The total expenditure in guarding and maintaining the
prisoners including that incurred
(1) by Public Works Department on the buildings and repairs, and
(2) by Magistrates in guarding and maintaining undertrial prisoners
amounted to Rs. 34,227-7-7.
The average cost per prisoner during the year was Rs. 75-8-4 against
Rs. 74-12-2 in the preceding year.
14. The Superintendent draws attention to the difficulty of recruiting the
necessary Jail Establishment. The increased rate of pay which was sanctioned
during the year under review does not appear to have proved sufficiently
attractive. The difficulty of obtaining recruits is not confined to the Jail
Establishment alone and if existing conditions continue a further improvement
in the conditions of service will be imperative if efficiency is to be maintained.
