The Report for tho Year just Closed
Shows Deficit OF Sl.373.
The fiscal year of the Carbondale
Hospital association closed on Oct. 81.
and Thursday afternoon the auditors,
Messrs. d. Scurry, d. w. Humphrey
and Z. p. Burke went over the accounts
for the year. They were loud in their
praise of the way every thing had been
managed. There was slight deficit at
the close of the year as the following
figures will show:
Cash on hand Oct. 81, 1894. ......... 1853 GO
Receipts from all sources for
year ending Oct. 81, 1895. ........ 1O,4S5 30
Total ......................... ll,Sio o1
Orders paid during the year,. 1928 49
Balance due treasurer............ 1878 "
"A statement sent in by the secretary
showed that there were bills due and
unpaid to Oct. 81. 1895. in the sum of
$749.30. The state appropriation is not
due till the report for the quarter end
ing Nov. 30 Is made Then a warrant
will be issued to the association, but
1t will not be sufficient to cover the in
debtedness. The secretary reports sew
eral hundred dollars due from corpora
tions and individuals for maintenance
and attendance upon pay patients. The
claims against the former are all COL
lectible. Since the close of the books. on
Oct 81. Treasurer Scott has received
$2o3 for pay patients. The cost of main
tenance per patient this year is much
less than last, as the fixed changes of
the institution are the same, while the
number OF patients treated Is much
larger.
