For the corresponding period last year the number of
patients admitted was 165, and 75 patients remained under
treatment on the expiration of the Quarter. It would seem,
therefore, that the work of the coming winter will be much the
same as last year and not of the excessive nature experienced
in previous years.
All the Wards have been washed down and disinfected
during the summer and rendered in every way thoroughly fit
for use.
For the Quarter the maintenance of patients has cost 4/8¼,
and of Staff, 8/11¼ per week.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
W. J. J. STEWART.
October 11th, 1910.
