admitted 10 the hospital and who are in
digent. $4,000.
The estimate for the year 1900 for the
support fund OF the hospital was based on
a daily average Of patients OF 1850. There
are az present actually in the hospital
1868. and il would appear now that the
average for the year viii be above ! $50.
The appropriation FOR the year previous
was also short OF the amount required for
the additional number OF patients. and TO
reduce az much as possible the deficiency
for that year all the expenditures possible
were tided over until the beginning Of tha
present fiscal year The amount thus
made necessary for the expense Of the first
three months OF this year. and the amount
Of expense actually incurred during these
months was a little IN excess Of the
Sl32 600, which if maintained for the year
would have required the sum OF sos 900
FOR the twelve months
For general repairs and improvements
SO 600 Is appropriated.
"On October IS, 1893 the date on which
the present superintendent assumed
charge Of the hospital there had been ex-
pended from the appropriation for repairs

plies Of various kinds are now outstand-
ing TO the extent OF about 81 900 for the
year 1900 The remaining 5000 will be
absolutely necessary 20 meet the demands
for repairs until July next. The class Of
people occupying such an institution
makes necessary constant expenditure
for repairs. and this is as unavoidable an
expense as that for the support Of the |
patients.

appropriated. on the purchase OF laundry |
machinery there yet remains unpaid the |
sum Of s. oSe. for which a special appro- |
