    LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUDITOR’S REPORT. The Midland Counties Audit District. 58, Calthorpe Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham. 20th December, 1909. Gentlemen,— 1 have to report that 1 completed my Audit of the Accounts, for the year ended 31st March last, of the Worcester County and City Lunatic Asylum, on the 8th instant. The total amount received on the Maintenance Account was =£30,010 12s. 6d.; this included £1,883 19s. 7d. from Con¬ tributory Authorities under Section 269 (9) of the Lunacy Act 1890, and £956 6s. 4d. received on account of Private Patients. The rate charged to the Unions for the Maintenance of Pauper Patients was 8s. 2d. per head per week, throughout the whole of the year, although it appears that the actual cost of maintenance was 9s. l-|d. per head. In consequence of this undercharge to the Unions, the amount on deposit with the Treasurer had to be reduced by £1,000. The actual cash balance in the hands of the Treasurer on the Maintenance Account at the 31st March last, including £2,000 on deposit, was £3,302 4s. 6d., as against £4,893 5s. lOd. in hand on the 31st March, 1908.
