35. Finance—(a)—Receipts.—The receipts from all sources
amounted to Rs. 27,390-13-3 in 1936, as compared with
Rs. 26,490-7-2 in 1935 and Rs. 23,727-14-3 in 1934.

The following table shows the total amount of realization
from paying patients and also the miscellaneous receipts which
include the sale proceeds of vegetables, and other articles manu-
factured by the patients in the Occupational Therapy Depart-
ments.

The increase in receipts in 1936 as compared with 1935 is
due to increased number of paying patients treated during 1936.

(b) Expenditure.—The total expenditure exclusive of
amounts received from paying patients and miscellaneous receipts
was Rs. 4,72,664-3-0 in 1936, as compared with
Rs. 4,64,653-5-3 in 1935 and Rs. 4,70,895-8-10 in 1934.

The increase in expenditure during 1936 as compared to 1935
was due to the increments in pay of some of the staff.

36. Staff.—The steadily increasing popularity of the hospital
as well as the number of appreciative letters I receive from the
public bear testimony to the increasing efficiency of this hospital
generally, and I express my deep debt of gratitude once more to
the staff as a whole for their loyalty and co-operation as no
progress could be made in any institution without their genuine
support.
