FUNDS FOR THE TREASURY.
For the next biennial period the re-
ceipts were S13, SO, of which $10,5749S
were contributed by the government,
and the expenditures were practically
the same. For the next biennial pc
Rod the receipts and current expendi-
lures were each about $4,000 of which
the government contributed three
fOurths or perhaps little more. Dur
ing the biennial period ending July 1,
1871, the receipts were S21,57933 of
which something over $4,000 was di-
rectly from the government. During
the biennial period ending July 1, 1879,
completing twenty years of the history
of the hospital, the receipts We're $780,
668.4S, of which over $4,000 was di-
rectly from the government, while the
current expenses of the institution
were only $34,057.S8. During the bien-
NAL period ending July 1, 1885, com
pleting thirty years of the hospitals
history, the receipts were $50, 2O4.30 of
which over $4,000 was derived from
twenty-five years history of the hos
pltal at least eighty per cent, if not
more, of the support of the hospital
had been derived directly from the gov
eminent. The hospital tax, a specific
payment required of each person en-
tering the Hawaiian Islands. usually
paid by the transportation companies
and added to the rate of fare charged.
was a large and growing source of
income to the hospital. 1t continued
to go to the hospital up to June IA,
1900. when, upon the organization of
the Territory, it became unlawful to
require its payment.
THE QUEENS LEGACIES.
Upon the death of Queen Emma. the
legacfes she left the hospital directly
and indirectly. became available. and
the income of the hospital from other
sources than the Government began to
increase. though the Government con-
unued to pay considerably more than
half of the entire income, up to the
time of the organization of the Ter
ritory. The income from pay patients
has steadily increased from the begin
ming, and as knowledge of the avail
ability of the hospital facilities has be-
come more general and better appreci,
ated in the community, the income
from this source has augmented. In
ceed, if it were not for this source Of
income the hospital would have to
close its doors. or at least would have
to conduct its operations on an inn
mensely restricted scale.
During the biennial period ending
July 1. 1899, and completing forty years
of the hospitals existence. the expenses
were S65,0S0. OF this upwards of $780,
900 was derived from the Government, !
and $24. 7S1 from pay patients. Four
years later the expenses had grown to
something over $4,000 and the amount
received from pay patients to $28, 044.75
for the biennial period. During this |
period there was received from the |
Government $35S34. The receipts for |
the biennial period ending July 1, 1905, |
