4. Suicides, escapes and deaths by violence.—There was
only one successful escape during the year under report and
one death by suicide.
5. Statement No. III.—There were 150 criminal patients
in the hospital at the end of the year 1937, viz., 146 males
and 4 females as against 154 in 1936 and 184 in 1935.
Forty-one criminal patients were admitted during the year
under report as against 9 and 39 during the two preceding
years. During the year 1937, in accordance with the orders
of the Government of India, remissions were granted to
Class III criminals, which resulted in the transfer of 24
patients from the criminal to the non-criminal side.
6. Statement No. V1.-Of
the 162 patients admitted,
56 were suffering from Manic Depressive Insanity, 37 from
Schizophrenia including Dementia Præox, 20 from Mania
and 49 from various other causes.
7. Statement VIII.—During
1937, a sum of Rs. l,73,978
was spent on the erection of three new barracks for this
institution and certain other new works carried out by the
Public Works Department, whereas the cost of the new
works undertaken in 1936 was not included in the expendi-
ture for that year. The total expenditure in the year under
report was Rs. 4,94,624-13-4 as against Rs. 2,90,944-13-9
in 1936. The net expenditure for 1937 including repairs
and maintenance is higher than
that for 1936, viz.,
Rs. 3,20,646-13-4 as against Rs. 2,90,944-13-9. The cost of
maintenance per head for 1937 works out to Rs. 328 as
against Rs. 279-12-0 in 1936.
The increase of Rs. 29,701-15-7 in the net expenditure
as compared with the figures for the previous year is due
to—
(i) Increased expenditure under the
head " repairs to buildings "...
(ii) Arrears of pay of the lady Assist-
ant Surgeon for the period
from May, 1936 to November
1936 paid during the year ..
(iii) Purchase of a new motor ambul-
ance .. ..

8. When the system of making fixed contributions
from local bodies on a pro rata basis was started on 1st
April, 1935, certain debits were outstanding from local
bodies. Many of these were recovered during the calendar
year 1936 in addition to the capitation tax. For the same
reason, the recoveries from private paying patients and
local bodies amounted to Rs. 2,92,191-2-8 as against
Rs. 2,77,121-13-2 in 1936. But in a year or two, when the
system reaches full working order these recoveries will no
longer be inflated by the outstanding debits of former years
and Government will shoulder their full share of financial
responsibility for the maintenance of the Mental Hos-
pital.
9. The net saving on account of the value of vege-
tables, fruits and manufactures, which are mainly used is
the institution, amounted to Rs. 20,000-11-3 during the
year 1937 as against Rs. 22,704-0-3 during the previous
year. In the year under report, however, the cost of articles
was worked out at the rates prevailing in the market,
whereas it had been the practice in the past to estimate
the cost more liberally.

ent, who performed his onerous duties with zeal and effici-
ency, to Dr. R. S. Sharma, P.C.M.S., who officiated as

Proceedings of the Punjab Government in the Medical
Department, No. 2238-M -39/31121, dated the
29th
September, 1939.
READ—Letter No. 4468-G.-II, dated the 5th April, 1939, from the
Inspector General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, forward-
ing the Punjab Mental Hospital Report for the year
1938.
Remarks.—The
population of the Punjab Mental Hos-
pital increased from 1,153 patients in 1937 to 1,235 patients
in the year under review. This increase is reflected in the
figures of admission and of average daily strength which
show an increase of 92 and 34.5, respectively, over the
figures of the last year. The new barracks providing addi-
tional accommodation for 300 male patients have been
completed, and when occupied will relieve congestion on the
male side of the Hospital. A double-storeyed block for 100
female patients has been sanctioned, and is now under
construction.
2. There were 32 deaths in 1938, compared with 29 in
1937, giving a death rate of 3.16 and 2.97, respectively.
Pneumonia, which claimed the largest number of deaths by
one disease, accounted for 6 and Tuberculosis of the lungs
for 5. It is, however, satisfactory to note that there were no
cases of suicide, escape, or death by violence during the year
under review,
3. Excluding a sum of Rs. 1,19,431 spent on ' original
works ', the expenditure by Government on the maintenance
of the Hospital was Rs. 3,08,054, compared with Rs. 3,20,617
in the year 1937. The decrease of Rs. 12,593 is mainly
due to—
1) a P.C.M.S. officer officiating as Medical Super-
intendent of the Hospital during the absence
on leave for a period of six months of Lieut.-
Colonel C. J. Lodge-Patch ;
(2) a fall in the price of foodstuffs ; and
(3) postponement of payment of certain bills relating
to the period under review to the following
year.
4. The amount recovered from the local bodies was
Rs. 2,24,143-10-8, against Rs. 2,68,657-14-4 in the previous
year. The decrease is the result of the old outstandings
having been realized and the recoveries assuming normal
