cording secretary; Mrs. John Alldred, corresponding secre- cary; Mrs. M. B. Redman, treasurer. The first money raised was $600 on subscription books; $600 was cleared at a lawn fete held August, 1891, at the residence of J. McD. Bryce, Mt. Oliver. A fair was held at the auditorium where over $8,- 000 was cleared and a lawn fete at the Knox mansion, the resi- dence of Mr. Grimes, enabled them to clear $1,000. The present valuation of land and buildings is upward of $1,000,000. There is a daily average of 151 patients, a 70 per cent of occupancy. The average stay of patients is 12 days. Charity work is 32%; 609, of the work is surgical. The hospital is greatly in need of enlargement, approxi- mately 100 more private rooms being needed, and a drive for funds is now being formed. New buildings, which will bring the valuation of the property to $2,500,000, are required, and these buildings can be erected on ground already owned and adjoining the hospital. The lack of space for private rooms and for ward patients much handicaps the hospital. If the staff is to retain interest in the institution, there must be room to take care of their patients. A new obstetrical department, with an adequate nursery for babies, is needed, for present facilities are antiquated. Other needs are an enlargeed lab- oratory, additional X-ray rooms, operating rooms, dispen- sary for the out-patient department and additional space for nurses. The nurses’ school has greatly increased in the last *wo vears and now numbers 69 pupils. In the year ending May 31, 1926, the number of full-pay nospital days was 18,030; part-pay hospital days, 24.520: free hospital days, 17.674: total, 55.225. General officers are: J. E. Roth, president; Daniel Beech, vice president; James A. Henderson, treasurer; John Jenkins, secretary. Directors are: J. E. Roth, John M. Phillips, Dan- tel Beech, John Jenkins, John C. Dilworth, James A. Hender- son, W. J. Crittenden, George H. Stengel, J. B. Yohe, Charles J. Moye, John F. Semmelrock, George M. Laughlin, Jr., A. W. Roberston, Charles A. Brooks. Harry W. Dunlop, one of the directors died recently. Dr. C. M. Thomas is President of the Medical Staff: Miss Jeannette L. Jones. R. N.. is super- intendent.
