Dr. P. C. Das shouldered the heavy responsibilities of the post
with commendable zeal, energy and ability to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned.

Dr. Das was ably and loyally assisted by all the staff during
his tenure of office.

I have very little to add about the conduct of the staff to
what it was my pleasure to record in my last annual report of
1928. However, I would like to record my deep appreciation
of the work of all staff who so ably and loyally helped me in
the administration of this large hospital during the period
under review.

31. General.—The hospital was visited by the Inspector-
General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar and Orissa, several times
during the year under report.

The following also visited the hospital :—

32.   The Committee of Visitors.— Both ladies and gentlemen
