COLUMBIA HOSPITAL.

trict Comm ssfOners.

Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson, president of the
board of directors of Columbia Hospital,
has submitted to the District Commission
ers the annual report of that institution
for the year ended June 80, 1898. He
states that for several years past the
money received from Congress and that
received from pay patients has not been
sufficient to fully meet the cost Of main
tanning the hospital and school for nurses,
and each year there has been deficiency,
notwithstanding the efforts of the officers
of the hospital to manage its affairs with
the strictest economy. The funds avail
able are not sufficient for the efficient ad-
ministraton of the hospital. considering
the number of patients that are cared FOR,
and the nurses connected with the nos
pital and the training school.
Mr.. Wilson repeats the request made last
year, that an appropriation Of $4,000 be
asked for the maintenance OF the hos
pital and to meet the current expenses Tor
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1890.
A report from the superintendent of the
hospital, Ella Underhill, accompanied the
presidsnt's statement. 1t shows that dur
ing the year COG patients were received ana
6S2 discharged. The daily average was 5I.
Total number of operations performed as
240, and of this number 13I were capital
lected from pay patients was s.. 70.
Assptic furniture has been placed in the
operating rooms and the delivery wards.
The private rooms have been refurnished.
The pathological laboratory has been COM
pleted
The superintendent states that the hos
pital is at present in very good condition
and the expenditures are as economical
as is consistent with the proper treatment
of the delicate patients brought there or
the nurses school II is stated that there
are "a pupils under training in the two hos
pitfalls, about equally divided as to num-
bers. The alumnas, now numbering DO,
are in greater part pursuing their WORK
here in Washington and elsewhere through
out the country. In one instance the en-
tire nursing for nine months was supplied
by them in a new hospital established for
new lines Of work.
