with the attic, Will give the authorities
much needed space.
In the original building there is provision
for LIS beds. These are for the most part
ward beds. The cost of maintaining the
institution annually IS $4,000. This is OBJ
tained partly through the income re-
ceived from private patients and part
Iy from the annual benefit affairs. The
deficit is made up by the German Hos
pital Society, which has membership OF
about 26O members This Is tho Organiza-
ton which collected the funds for the erec-
ton of the building. It's president is Fred
z. Heitmann. A recent inspection by the
State Board of Charities has placed the
hospital in the division of first class in
stitutions The work of the hospital Is
rapidly on the increase and the authorities
are hard pushed to meet the demand The
question of more room will be partly solved
by the opening of the annex three months
hence. but the question Of finances will
remain unsOlved
The money for the annex and the other
improvements will be taken from the pres
ent surplus, and the authorities will put
their faith in the friends of the institution
for more money for the maintenance Of the
work. The Hospital Aid Society IS already
preparing for benefit performance, and
movement is on foot, though not yet organ
lied. for collecting funds for the liquidation
of the mortgage

NO ROOM FOR PATIENTS
German Hospital Plans Annex,
THOUGH Funds Are Low.

Overburdened with work, though not
with material wealth, the German Hospital
has been practically forced to authorize
the building of an annex and other i'm
provements that will cost more than
avenue occupying the block between Stan
hope and Stockholm streets, in the Ridge
wood section of the borough. Il is 4 four
story brick structure.
From the start, a decade ago, the wis
dom of those who chose the situation for
the institution has been borne out by the
demand for treatment. The hospital stands
long distance from any other, the near
est being the BushWick Hospital, in How
ard avenue. Since January IA the hospital
has been more heavily taxed than ever.
On that date a public dispensary was
opened. Its average since has been seven
hundred patients a month. At present the
building is so well filed that the sick are
slowed away everywhere, in and out of the
way, and more patients are seeking ad-
mission.
In spite of the $1,000 mortgage that has
been hanging over the institution from the
beginning, it was seen by the directors that
something had TO be done About two
months ago the board decided to under
take the improvements. One Improvement
will be to fit up the space in the attic
under the dome for convalescent patients
for an X-ray room, etc. . The other i'm
provement will be to erect an annex on
St. Nicholas avenue. The annex Will pro-
vide room for three six-bed wards and,
