Loss.
44. The cost per head in the Asylums generally amounted to Rs. 69-3-7, or
Rs. 10-13-11 in excess of the previous year. The factory profit per head at Luck-
now diminished from Rs. 3-14-7 in 1899 to Rs. 3-11-3 in 1900 ; while at Benares
and Agra it increased from Rs. 3-14-11 and Rs. 2-4-7 in 1899, to Rs. 4-1-2 and
Rs. 4-6-8 in 1900. At Bareilly there was a loss of Rs. 0-10-5 per head against the
profit of Rs. 11-2-3 in the previous year.
The loss at Bareilly was due to the high mortality among the dairy cattle, and
to the depreciation in the value of live stock and machinery; and the decrease at
Lucknow was due to the increased cost of feeding cattle. The increase at Benares
was incidental, and at Agra was caused by the greater number of lunatics under
employment.
45. Statement X shows the details of establishment employed in each
Asylum. The establishment of the Bareilly Asylum was revised during the year,
and an increase of Rs. 5 per mensem to the pay of the clerk, and of Rs. 2 per
mensem to that of the barber was sanctioned. At Benares, the compounder attached
to the Asylum, received grade promotion with an increase of pay at the rate of Rs. 3
per mensem according to the standing rules ; while at Agra the Hospital Assistant
on Rs. 25 was replaced by another on Rs. 35 per mensem. There was no change
in the establishment of the Lucknow Asylum.
46. Statement XI shows details of receipts and charges with net profits of the
Asylum industries, and the average number of lunatics employed in the various
industries. The profits decreased from Rs. 6,016-12-5 in 1899 to Rs. 3,036-4-3 in
1900, a decrease of Rs. 2,980-8-2 which is shared largely by the Bareilly and slightly
by the Lucknow Asylum. At Benares and Agra, the profits increased from
Rs. 1,204-7-5 and Rs. 576-12-7 in 1899, to Rs. 1,212-10-3 and Rs. 1,114-15-3,
respectively, in 1900.
47. A separate report of the working of the dairy farm at Bareilly is
appended.
