Excerpt from Twenty-Eighth Annual Report of the Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities Upon the Lunatic and Idiot Asylums of the Province of Ontario: Being for the Year Ending 30th September, 1895 The extraordinary outlay at Brockville has been due to the necessity of having the institution fully equipped in 'respect to supplies, merchandise, etc bought in larger quantities than were required for consumption during, the official year, which is shown to be a measure of economy in all such cases.

Excerpt from Fifteenth Annual Report of the Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities on the Asylums for the Insane and the Asylum for Idiots, of the Province of Ontario: Being for the Year Ending 30th September, 1882 Again, in salaries and wages much larger sums are paid to attendants and servants, and there Is always to be found a much larger number of attendants in proportion to the number of patients. In this respect the average of the same Asylums, from which the above was taken, is shown to be $73. 82 per patient, While In Ontario it is $29. 32. The advantage, the Americans derive from this liberal expenditure is a very great one. They get a much superior class of people for attendants, which fact alone contributes largely to the comfort of the patients. In furniture and furnishings I find larger expenditures In the United States Generally their Asylums are much more expensively furnished than ours are. There are also larger sums spent on books, periodicals, newspapers, amuse ments, etc., all of which, while involving larger cost, add so much to the homel'ike character of the Asylums and consequently to the content and well -being of the patients.

Excerpt from Thirty-Second Annual Report of the Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities Upon the Lunatic and Idiot Asylums of the Province of Ontario: Being for the Year Ending 30th September, 1899 In summarizing the operations of the asylums for the insane fer the past year, one Of the principal matters inviting attention is the comparatively large decrease in the number of admissions. During the previous year ending 30th September, 1898, there were 759 received, and during the past year ending on like date, there were 711, or a decrease of 48. For the past ten years the average annual admissions have numbered 783, or 72 more than during the year under report. This reduced number of admissions can in a measure be accounted for by the larger number remaining in charge elsewhere than in the Provincia asylums. For the past ten years the average population under charge in Home] wood Retreat has been 17 in the wards for the insane in Kingston Penitentiary 30; in the common gaols 47; and the applications for admission to the asylums at the close of each year have averaged 60, or a total of For the past year, at its close, the returns Show that in Homewood Retreat there were 13, in the Peni tentiary 36, in the gaols 77, and the applications for admission to the institution direct were 92, or an increase of 64 provided for temporarily otherwise than in the asylums.
