Dr. Margaret M. McDowall resigned her appointment as
Medical Officer of the Maternity Home in September, and the

Home, was compelled to resign his appointment on account of
ill-health.
Mr. C. K. Vartan and Dr. W. R. Winterton were appointed

In January the Council decided to appoint two additional
