    MAINTENANCE FUND. The General Committee have pleasure in rendering their Report and Financial Statement upon the working of the Hospital for the 12 months ending 31st December, 1927. The number of in-patients admitted during the year was 355, as compared with 272 during 1926; the number of out-patients treated 180, as compared with 144 during 1926; making a total number of patients treated during the year 535, as compared with 416 during 1926, an increase of 119 patients. Since the opening of the Hospital 1,158 in-patients have been admitted and 685 out-patients treated, a total of 1,843 cases. The total Income for the year amounted to £3,816 18s. 5d., 45.9 per cent, being derived from Workpeople’s Contributions and 54.1 per cent, being derived from other sources. The total Expenditure for the year amounted to £2,904 2s. 4d., of which £417 6s. 2d. has been expended upon Extensions. The deficiency of £510 2s. lOd. brought forward as at the 1st January, 1927, has been redeemed. Bills accrued due and payable on the 31st December, 1927, amounted to £278 15s. 7d., thus reducing the balance of funds from £402 13s. 3d. to £123 17s. 8d. The actual cost of maintenance and administration, after making the necessary adjustment for accounts outstanding amounted to £2,463 9s. 9d.

The net cost of in-patients has therefore been £2,440 12s. 3d., end this figure has been taken into consideration in arriving at the costs set out in the Schedule attached hereto. The Committee wish to place on record their appreciation of the action of the workmen in agreeing to the ltd. per week con¬ tribution for the 12 months. This action enabled the Committee to go forward with greater confidence upon their programme for the Extensions. In accordance with the promise made at the time the 14d. was agreed upon, the Committee has now arranged that the Id. per week be reverted to.
