Maintenance costs in Indiana state institutions reveal steady subsistence figures
A six month comparison ending April 30, 1902 shows per capita subsistence costs for Indiana’s insane asylums hovering around 28 to 32 dollars, with slight rises and drops across Central, Northern, Eastern, and Southern hospitals and other state homes. Despite higher food prices in 1901, costs remained near 1901 levels due to frugal management and drought impacts on previous crops.
