If the amounts of Rs. 13,781-5-3 received from paying patients, Rs. 1,727-9-5
on account of the sale of manufactures and unserviceable articles, refund of
batta, &c., and labour on trees, remitted into the Treasury, and Rs. 1,173-0-1,
value of manufactures made over to asylums for asylum purposes, be deducted
from the amounts received from the treasury and adjusted to Government as
" book charges ", the net cost to Government will be Rs. 1,04,113-13-4 and the
net cost per head Rs. 143-1-9 as compared with Rs. 98,787-3-0 and Rs. 137-15-2
respectively, in 1893.
Statement No. X is a return of the sanctioned establishment as it stood on
31st December 1894. The monthly cost was Rs. 3,848-8-0 against Rs. 3,761-8-0
in the preceding year, the increase being due to the revision of the establishment
of the Dhárwár Asylum, which necessitated the entertainment of a Hospital As-
sistant permanently and additional servants.
Statement No. XI shows the receipts and expenditure of the manufacturing
department. The average number of insanes employed was 313.3, (males 254.6
and females 58.7), as compared with 304.4 in 1893. The total credits amounted
Rs. 3,529-11-5 and debits to Rs. 2,271-1-11, showing a profit of Rs. 1,258-9-6.
In calculating the percentage of the number of inmates employed, no deduc-
tion has been made on account of Europeans, Eurasians, paying patients or sick.
There is no suitable work for Europeans and Eurasians, while paying patients
and the higher classes of natives are, as a rule, wholly averse to labour, to which
before admission they have been unaccustomed.
With reference to paragraph 3 of the Government of India's letter above
quoted, I beg to state that the results of the manufacturing operations must
continue to compare unfavourably with those of other provinces so long as the
facilities and circumstances remain as they are. In the Colába Asylum, for in-
stance, space is so limited that agricultural operations are impossible and indus-
tries such as oil-pressing, dairy, farming, &c., from which large profits are said
to be made elsewhere, cannot be profitably carried out. To put our asylums
somewhat on a par with asylums in other parts of India, really good arable land
in the vicinity of the asylum, with a good supply of water for agricultural pur-
