CONVICT ROAD CAMP, FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA. 37 
_allowed the use of an automobile at an approximate cost of $250 
per year. He made no regular visits to the camp, but always 
responded promptly when called; and it is probable, considering the 
populations of the various institutions, that the experimental camp 
received its full proportion of his services. As the average popula- 
tion of the experimental camp was approximately 7 per cent of the 
population of all institutions, it would seem that a fair estimate of 
the expense of the doctor’s services to the camp would be 7 per cent 
of his salary and the cost of operating his automobile. For the first — 
six months of operation this would amount to $92.75. 
The character of medicine and the equipment of surgical instru- 
ments kept at the camp, the cost of medicine used from January 10 
to July 10, and the depreciation of struments, etc., during that 
period, are given in Table 25.
