The cost of maintenance (£471) and the wages (£248) added
together amount to £719, leaving the balance of £390 as the
amount accounted for in the several other items of expenditure.
With a very few days' notice the Camp Hospital could be
again got ready for the reception of patients at an estimated cost
of £100.
Subject to direction from the Vestry, your Committee have
placed a man and his wife in charge of the camp and the Vestry's
stores, and your Committee
RECOMMEND the Vestry to sanction the appointment of a
caretaker, and to authorise the maintenance of the camp for the
protection of the tents, stores and other property of the Vestry,
at an estimated annual expense of £200.
Your Committee cannot conclude their sixth and last Report
upon the subject of camp hospital accommodation without expressing
the very high opinion which they entertain of the judicious,
able and energetic assistance which they have received in connection
with this work from your Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Tidy,
the Surveyor, Mr. Higgins, and the Sanitary Superintendent, Mr.
Collingwood, to whom your Committee feel that the Vestry are
greatly indebted for most valuable services of no ordinary or perfunctory
kind.
All which is submitted.
Vestry Offices,
17th October, 1881.

Chairman, Sanitary Committee.
