Profits
on
asylum manu-
factures.
18. Statement X.—The profits on the asylum industries amounted to
Rs. 5,418 in 1905 against Rs. 5,153 in 1903 and Rs. 6,471 in 1904. The
total for the three years is therefore Rs. 17,042 as compared with
Rs. 14,620 during 1900—1902. The average per annum during the
triennium under report was Rs. 5,681, while during the previous triennium
it was Rs. 4,873.
As regards the small profit at Agra of Rs. 863 in 1905 compared to
the expenditure on raw material purchased and on contingencies the
Superintendent remarks :—
"These last are fully accounted for by the fact that expenses were incurred in
levelling and preparing the grounds outside the asylum, this work occupy-
ing a large proportion of the patients classed under the head " Employed
in manufactures," a work which owing to the drought gave no sub-
stantial monetary returns, while giving the most healthful employment to
the patients. Previous to 1905 the grounds outside the asylum had not
been cultivated. For a great part of the year many of the patients were
employed in surkhi pounding, the value of which has not been shown in
the credits as exact measurements were not taken, but the value of which
would be about Rs. 60 or Rs 70. The value of raw material in stock
at the end of this year is also in excess."
Works.
19. Lucknow.—In addition to the alteration of seven barracks of
the non-criminal male ward, and three barracks of the female ward for
the accommodation of the European male and female patients, the cloth-
ing godown was also altered into two compartments for European warders.
Benares.—A new hospital costing Rs. 19,431 was completed early
in 1905, and the municipal water-supply, which in consequence of its
excessive cost owing to unavoidable waste stopped in July 1904, was
modified by decreasing the number of taps and their bore and by arranging
them so as to be used only for drinking purposes. The modification (cost
Rs. 1,895) was completed early in 1905, when the use of municipal water
was resumed for drinking purposes. During 1904-1905 the floors of all
the barracks and cells, and the sleeping platforms, which had hitherto
been made of earth, were reconstructed of concrete plastered in lime and
overlaid with portland cement. The work cost Rs. 4,824, and the floors
and platforms can now be daily flushed and washed by water supplied
through a system of piping to each barrack from a central well and
reservoir separate altogether from the municipal system.
Bareilly.—Since
the last triennium a long felt want has been
filled by the construction of two new sets of solitary cells at a cost of
Rs. 5,647. There are six cells in each set.
Agra.—The water-supply is from the Municipal Water Works. The
head pressure at the works is insufficient (this is to be shortly remedied),
and in consequence, especially in the hot weather, some scarcity was felt,
but not enough to endanger health. The most important and large works
undertaken during the triennium wore—
