The report of the Board of Mana
gers of the Emergency Hospital as
submitted last night to the Hospital
Association was gratifying in the ex-
treme. 1t showed 500 patients treated
during the year ending December 3,
'06, against 2i9 treated in the hos
pitai for the same period the year pre-
vious. OF the J02, but 60 were pay pa
tients, showing that most of the work
done at the hospital has been free.
Despite the increased number of pa
tients and the necessary increased ex-
penses, the hospital was run on a more
economical plan the past year and in
the last six months the running ex-
penses have been much less. being S175
less than last year. The Board of
Managers report follows:
To the members of the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital Association:
We have the honor to submit the
following report concerning our finan
ces, work accomplished during the
year, and the present condition of the
hospital.
The Managers, under the leadership
of their Chief-of-S staff, applied to the
Legislature of 1906 for an appropria-
tion of 5000 annually, which was
denied, but an increase of 81, 600 was
granted, making each annual appropri-
alton $3, 800.
The county and city appropriations
have remained the same $500 from the
county and 5000 from the city, an
nuallly, and the Managers are most
grateful to these different sources of
revenue, for several times during the
past year we were fully conscious that
the funds then in bank were not suffi-
cient to meet the monthly expenses,
but these good sustainers came Just in
time to our assistance. We have not
yet had to make the tremendous effort
required for the bazar held in 1904,
but the proceeds from some smaller
entertainments have helped us through
several emergencies, notably a concert
given at the Government House under
the auspices of Mrs. d. r. Randall
and the Managers and araffle conduct
ed by Miss Mullan.
The institution of Donation Day and
Hospital Sunday will, we hope, be
productive of equally good and gener-
Gus efforts on the part .of our towns
people this year, as they were last.
These gifts will be annexed 10 our
long list of donations in the annual re-
port.
our Emergency Hospital. as it
stands today, is in fairly good condi-
tion; new tin roof has been put over
the entire back building. We have
two private rooms and beds for twelve
patients, including three for colored
people, whenever another bed is need
ed we have to use the sorderly's room.
Our head nurse and superintendent
is very efficient and has two assistants
generally and sometimes more-an
able orderly and good coIored servants.
We have kept out of debt, and things
are running smoothly, but further than
this we cannot go, with only the pres
ent appropriations. Our building shows
us daily how inadequate 1t is to even
the present need, and we feel still more
strenuous efforts are necessary to bring
in sufficient support for onr brave
