    have been increased under a scheme arranged by the Ministry of Health and the British Hospitals Association, and although these increases will be subsidised by the Government, more than one-half of the cost will fall upon the hospitals. More¬ over it is hoped that some part of the increased accommodation provided by the extensions will become available during the year. Every effort therefore will be necessary to bring about a further substantial increase of income, in order to meet the increased expenditure and to reduce the existing deficit. The Committee desires again to record its sincere appre¬ ciation of the loyal support received from subscribers and friends. Special thanks are due to the Ladies Flag Day Committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Manners, for the remarkable result of their annual effort which realised £663, a total more than £200 over any previous year; and to the Mayor (Councillor J. Jones, J.P.) and the Committee respon¬ sible for the organization of the Mayor's Annual Infirmary Ball, the proceeds of which, £405, also created a new record. The Committee would also express its sincere thanks for the valuable support rendered by those friends who promoted or assisted in numerous special efforts and entertainments on behalf of the Infirmary and also for the continued help rendered by the Clergy, Ministers and Congregations in connection with the Infirmary Sunday Collections. Contributory Scheme. The success which has attended the establishment of the Contributory Scheme has been well- maintained and in its first full year’s working the amount raised was £19,085, whilst in addition the sum of £671 was received from outside Contributory Schemes for the treatment of their members. On the other hand treatment for members of the scheme at outside hospitals has cost £1,696, but when the additional accommodation provided by the new Ward Block can be brought into use this figure should show a reduction. 1 he Committee would tender its congratulations and sincere thanks to the Contributory Scheme Committee, Collectors and Officials for the excellent result that has been achieved.
