On behalf of the Board of Man

Hospital, we present in the follow

At no time in the history of the
Emergency Hospital was there more
abundant cause for rejoicing over the
usefulness Of the institution, and is
Z xx4sd dnn nld
of service to the people of this com
munity. Interest in its organization
and work, cooperation in the fulfill
ment of It's mission, harmony of pur-
pose among all who are associated in
its management and administration I;
and, above all, the awakening of a
generous public sentiment for promot-
ing and enlarging its usefulness, have
made the past year phenomenally
prominent in its history, and exceed
ingly gratifying to everybody inter-
ested in its success.
The Board discharges a pleasant
duty by recording here its warm and
grateful appreciation of the loyal
and efficient services rendered by the
Medical and Surgical Staff, ever
ready to respond to the call in behalf
of the sick and suffering.
The general conduct of the hospital
under the management of Miss Rosa
mond MINIS has been excellent.
For further details we refer you
to the complete reports of the Medical
staff and Superintendent, which will
explain better than any word OF
mine how faithful and efficient has
been the medical service.
A brief comparison of the past
eight years work will prove the
year just closed to have been the
most active and fruitful of results in
the history of our hospital

tail the number of patients treated
during the year, yet they express
only superficial idea of the gooc
work accomplished and the suffering
relieved. In this report there are nc
statistics for the comfort that fol.
lows relief from pain, for hope re-
kindled, for JOY and gratitude over
recovery, or even for attention anc
ministration in death.
The mission and usefulness of the
hospital cannot be presented in
this brief report of its President
nor even in the statistics which
follow. They merely represent ar
account of our stewa rdship to the
State, whose beneficiaries we are,
and to the community, whose ser.
wants we aim to be. Last years
report contained a picture of the
proposed Emergency Hospital, ther
unfinished and closed, waiting fol
the state to appropriate money
enough to finish what it had begun
Within the shadow of the new anC
entirely hidden from view during the
past year, the old hospital has nobly
carried on its work, and is proud oi
the record it can show for the las
year of its history.
The Board of Managers has no
had anything to do with the plan!
