ment in That Month
Published

There has been more or less crit
icism at Cook hospital because a
monthly financial statement has not
been oustomarily published. The
hospital board OF directors are men
whose integrity cannot be ques.
toned and they have always de-
manded and received financial re-
ports which have bssl satisfactory
to them. and which have shown
beyond proof that the aftaFs Of the
public as administered in this In
stitutiol have been honestly and ef.
ficiently conducted. A yearly state
ment has been compiled when all
collections possible had been made
and q clear cut statement could be.
set up, and this yearly statement
has been given widest publicity SO.
that all interested might know
about the hospital expenditures and
income.
This statement, no doubt, has
been satisfactory to those who read
1t with care. but the hospital board
Of directors appreciate the desire
for a monthly statement and recog.
nize the right OF the people to this
statement and take pleasure In fur
nishing the following financial state
met for May and the other monthly
statements will appear in sequence.
Explanatory: The public must bear
in mind that the sum of $4s01.50
shown as gross earnings is not that
much cash in the hands of the hos
pltal. 1t is merely the record OF
the sum due the institution IL It is
all collected. 1t is assumed that
the patients will in time pay their
hospital bills but the earnings OF
the hospital and the collections OF
the hospital sometimes show a la
