An asterisk (*) indicates that the washing was done at, and charged for by, another hospital or institution. † Washing done under contract. § Foul washing only.
‡ Owing to local conditions or capacity of laundry, the amount of washing done for non-resident staff varies considerably at the several hospitals. This column, therefore, for uniformity, represents the total staff washing apportioned
over the resident staff only.
