Hospital
Buildings.
3, Four of the old matting-and-cudjan wards have been replaced by more
permanent structures with wooden sides and corrugated iron roofs. The floors, how-
ever, not being pucca, are liable to soak up all discharges. The corrugated roof
is painted on the outside with a mixture of lime and cocoauut-oiJ, which consider-
ably helps to reduce the temperature of the ward during the hot weather.
It is hoped that the office, the Resident Medical Officer's quarters, .and the
other out-houses will also be similarly replaced. This will certainly do away with
the annual heavy expenditure incurred for providing tarpaulins and weather
frames. A suitable pucca store-room is also badly needed.
Sisters' Quar-
ters.
The sisters' quarters have been enlarged, and accommodation increased for
three more lady nurses. The plot of ground on which they have been built is
however badly drained and much inconvenience and nuisance is caused during
the rainy season by the accumulation of storm-water near the bungalow.
Parsee Ward,
A ward was opened at the Modikhana Hospital for the admission of Parsee
plague patients in July 1899, and the following staff was maintained by the Parsee
Punchayet Trust for their use :—
1 Parsee Nurse.
2 Ward-boys.
2 Ayahs.
The necessary clothing, mattresses, &c., and any extras required were supplied
by the Secretary of the Parsee Pnnchayet who often visited the ward and always
took a very keen interest in the Parsee patients in the Hospital.
Conservancy,
Water-Supply
and Disinfec-
tion.
4, 5, and 6. These have been fully described in the Hospital Beport for the
previous year, and there have been no alterations in the arrangements.
All the Hospital clothing is sent to the sterilizer for disinfection daily as before.
Disposal of the
Dead.
7. All claimed bodies are removed by friends or relations. Unclaimed bodies
are disposed of at Municipal expense as before. There are no corpse-bearers living
on the premises.
Mortuary.
The old mortuary has now been replaced by a pucca structure with a cement
floor «and corrugated iron roof and sides ventilated with perforated tin sheetings.
The size of the shed is about 20' by 10'.

C ases.
8. The following table gives all the important particulars of the 12 cases that
