14. Statement No. IX gives the cash accounts of the different asylums for the
year. The total receipts amounted to Rs. 1,13,334-14-9 against Rs. 1,10,989-1-0
in the previous year. Of this, Rs. 92,964-5-0 were received from the Treasury,
Rs. 10,148-9-4 was the nominal sum adjusted by Government for works done
by the Public Works Department, water-supply and cost of English medicines and
stores, &c. Rs. 7,699-4-5 were received from paying patients, and Rs. 2,522-12-0
were the value of articles from the Manufacture Department and used for asylum
purposes. Deducting the sum remitted to the Treasury on account of paying
patients from that received from the Treasury and the sum adjusted on account of
repairs, water-supply and cost of medicines, the net cost to Government was
Rs. 95,413-9-11 as compared with Rs. 90,807-12-3 in the year previous ; the in-
crease being mainly due to charges on account of works done by the Public Works
Department, cost of English stores and medicines, and that the charge for water
has been shown for the first time in the accounts of the Poona asylum. The net
cost per patient in the year under report was Rs. 156-0-10 against Rs. 145-3-6
in 1882. The following table gives the net cost in each asylum for the past
two years : —

on the 31st December 1883. The total monthly cost amounts to Rs. 3,787-8-0.

the Superintendent of the Colába Lunatic Asylum being of a higher rank and
consequently drawing increased emoluments.
