HOWRAH GENERAL HOSPITAL.
79
The general conservancy of the hospital compound has been made over to the care of
the municipal authorities.
Mr. Fitzgibbons, house surgeon in the European department, and Baboo Gopaul
Chunder Roy, house surgeon in the Native department, take trouble with the patients, and
have done their work satisfactorily. They also take pains to keep up and increase their
professional knowledge.
The other members of the staff have also given satisfaction, with the exception of the
steward, who was dismissed for neglect and dishonesty.
