Statement VIII.

8. The expenditure of the Nagpur and Jubbulpore Asylums was Rs. 64,093
and Rs. 12,039, respectively, and was met partly from
(1) sale-proceeds of manufactured articles (Rs. 3,279),
(2) sale of dairy farm produce (Rs. 4,776), (3) receipts realised from paying
patients (Rs. 3,356), and partly from Government either in cash or by book
adjustments. As compared with the previous year there was an increase of
Rs. 14,699 in the total expenditure, due chiefly to the construction of additional
buildings at Nagpur Asylum to accommodate lunatics from Jubbulpore Asylum.
The average cost per head in Nagpur was Rs. 133, or Rs. 15 more than in the
previous year, while in Jubbulpore it was Rs. 99 per head, or Rs. 14 less than
that of 1908. The increase at Nagpur was chiefly due to increase in diet
charges owing to high price of food grains, &c. At Jubbulpore it was due to the
smaller average strength.

Statement X.

9. The dairy farm at Nagpur Asylum has continued to work satisfactorily.
It supplies the wants not only of the inmates of the
Asylum but also to a large extent of the public. The
attached farm has also proved a profitable success.

During the year there was a profit on account of manufactures of Rs. 2,100
in the Nagpur and Rs. 615 in the Jubbulpore Asylum, against Rs. 2,341 and
Rs. 997, respectively, in 1908. The profits at Nagpur are mainly derived from
the farm and attached dairy.
