Building Committee

The report for the Buildins Com- mittee for the new hospital was pre- sented by Mr. Jamu futon as fol- lows:

Mr, Chairman, Indies and Gentle- men:

As Chairman of the new Hospital Building Committee, 1 have been re- quested to give a report of this im- portant undertaking. At a meeting such as we have tonight, time does not permit giving a detailed review cf the work performed by the com- mittee since its ins uuvu at a meeting held in St. Paul's School

. room December 9th. 1930. Realizing

the great responsibility we have as- sumed, we have taken the advice of one familiar with hospital building. who said, no type of structure needs as much preliminary study as a hos- pital before the plans and specifica- tions are drawn. A great deal of cor- reepondence and consultation has been mule between the committee and the best hospital architects in Canada. and United States. Plans arid specifications have also been submitted by various architects and scrutinized by our medical staff and committee. Mr. B. Evan Parry of the Hospital Advisory Department of National Health, Ottawa, addressed a joint. meeting of the Hospital

Medical Btaff and Building Commit- tee. Hls advice on hospital architec- ture and equipment is considered the best that can be procured in Can- ada. Mr. Parry placed before the

Trustees. Executive Campaign Funds,

-= ' I I -'llN i i m"! IBOOEHl-sed every year; increas- ed number of free patients. The tot- I al amount of work done absolutely free during the past year based on

our ward rates amounted to $8,374.75. , This is the largest amount of free

care of for a number of years.

The two outstanding features in connectlo with the Hospital work during the year were the putting on of a campaign for funds with which to build the new Hospital and the

the Government House grounds on Brighton Road. Considering the dif- ﬂcult conditions under which this campaign was launched, we have every reason to congratulate our- selves on its success. We were very fortunate in being able to induce Mr. W. F. Tldmarsh to accept the Executive Chairmanship of the cam- lpaign and to his untiring efforts during the whole period of this cam- paign its success is very "largely due. The Trustees are deeply grateful for thevery splendid work done by Mr. Tidmarsh and his wonderful army of workers, all of whom stood by the work until the last gun was ﬁred. Mr. Tidmarsh will present his report of the campaign at this meeting. The Trustee Board wish to express their very great appreciation of the action of the Government in coming to our assistance 1n a very critical situation and providing us with such a very splendid site for the Hospital. and at a very reasonable cost. 1m- medlately after the close of the cam- paign a general public meeting of the contributors to the Hospital was called and the question of this site submitted and it was unanimously

"While in Charlottetown, Mr. Parry made a visit to the proposed site for the new

highly pleased with the situation. Notwithstanding all the correspond- ence, consultations, and information, the =- ‘ had procured, they went further to complete their in- vestlgstion, sent two of their mem- bers to Montreal, Ottawa and Toron- to to consult architects and visit up-

He has also contributed by request special papers to several journals in Canada and United States. Mr. Govan will arrive in Charlottetown on Thursday night, the following morning will consult with building committee and visit site at Brighton. On his return to Toronto he will at once commence work on plans, which probably will take about two months to complete. ,On completion, tenders will be ask- ed and work on construction com- menced soon after contract. is signed.-

Trustees’ Report

The following Trustees’ Report for the ﬂlcsl year ending March 31st, I931 was presented by Mr, W. x. Rogers, chairman.

Your trustees herewith submit the forty eighth annual report of the Prince Edward Island Hospital."

The principal features of the year's work are as follows:

Increased nlmiber of patients treetcd; fewer number of‘ patient days, which goes to show that our Hospital is. in keeping with all mod- ern hospitals, lessening the number of days which it is necessary for e patient to be conﬁned to the hoe- pitel; very greatly increased num- ber ef obstetrical patients, showing

that the advantaged of this depart- muitcftbeloqttslersbeinumen

hospital and expressed himself as -

to-date hospitals, to find out where

decided that the site so offered by the Government was a most suit- able one and the Trustees were em- powered to purchase same. Follow- ing this meeting a Building Com- mittee was appointed of which Mr. James Paton is chairman and Mr. Paton will at this meeting present his report o.’ what has been done up to the present time. Campaign

When we commenced the campaign organization, it was decided by the Trustees that they would assume the total amount cf the expenses to be incurred and the public were told that every dollar that was subscrib- ed by them to the campaign would be used for the building of the new Hospital. This promise has been ful- ﬁlled to the letter and every cent

of the expenses has been paid by colutrucuon or equipment‘ The dew the Trustees. This leaves us with a

debit balance this year of $2,717.61 which we hope to pay off by the end of the yesr.

We wish particularly to call your attention to the amount of free work done during the year just closed. We believe this is the largest in the his- tory of the work of this Hospital. In addition to this work that has been done absolutely free, the Hospital also makes a. loss on all ward patients

$1.50 a day and there 1s also quite a large amount of unpaid bills every year which does not appear under the heading of free work. We can- not hope for this amount of free work to grow less. In fact, it is more likely to increase during the next year or two at least because we can- not hope for the prosperous times that we have enjoyed for some years past.

During the recent session of the Legislature your Trustees, in Com- pany with representatives of the Charlottetown Hospital. waited on the members of the present Govern- ment and also on the members of the Opposition and strongly pres- ented the case of the Hospitals for greater Government assistance. We

ly increased assistance to the Hos- pitals is absolutely necessary if the management cf these institutions are to be put in a position where they can carry on the work as it should be done. If these Hospitals were situated 1n any other Province of Canada the minimum amount of ss- sistarlce we would receive would be about $10,000 a year and in some Provinces several times more than this and, even with the asistance they get 1n other Provinces, the hos- pitsl rates are very much higher than our rates and every year the greater number of the hospitals still face an annual deficit.

That the Government of Prince Edward Island are alive to the sit- uation and realize that the question of public health is an important one is evident by the fact that. the Government has recently given as- sistance to the extent of $40,000 for building and an annual amount of $12,000 for the maintenance of one smell thirty bed institution to take care of one disease only. The expense ‘of operating this smell institution should not be more than one third the coat of operating any one of the three hospitals which are taking care of all diseases of all the people cf the Province. From this you can plainly see the absolute necessity of greater Government assistance to the general hospitals. Not only must we receive greater assistance from the

cclve greater assistance from the‘ City of Charlottetown and also from

the outlying districts. We might call‘ your attention to the figures in the , report which show that eighty free‘ patients came from the City lustl year and seventy nine from the_ country and, as the total amount of ‘ this free work cost the Hospital $8.-

securing of a new hospital site on '

New Building i The reason the Trustees are go- Eng into this matter so fully in this report is to try to impress everyone interested of the a‘ ‘ ‘ ‘y of getting further assistance. We are about to commence the building of a new and modern hospital, a hos- Tpital where our people can be as well , taken care of as in the larger hos- 1 pitals in Montreal, Toronto or New] ‘York. We are trying to give this‘ ;oervice to our people but 1t is go- ing to take money to do it and we .~ want to impress upon the contrib-I utors to the Hospital the fact that they should assist us in taking the!

We want ev- cry person interested to get this in- to their minds and take it seriouslyi land on every opportunity talk to their representatives and demand iihat satisfactory action be taken. ‘The crowded condition of the Hos- pital durlng the entire year

the Trustees in proceeding with the erection of the new Hospital. The work of the Ladies’ Aid during .

the last year has been fully up to ‘Tmm ‘the mark» and the Hospital is very ‘Tmal

deeply indebted for the splendid: ‘work done by the members of this

organization. As we have from yearl to year pointed out, we believe that

the only critcism we can make of the i iwork of this organization is the fact‘ that they do not extend it through- | out the different towns in the two‘ counties and also 1n the larger and, more important districts. In Prince‘ County the ladies have the whole! County organized whereas 1n connec- i tion with our Hospital it is prin-l cipally the ladies of Charlottetown’ who do the work. We are confident i that the ladies of the outlying dis-

tricts wouldbc only too anxious to help but it needs someone to organ- ize them properly. l The following nurses graduated lthis year: , i Llnnie Adelaide Platts ' Hattie Eliza. McLaine. l Beatrice McLean McLeod. l This is the smallest class we have :hs.d for many years due to illness of -two nurses who should have grad“ luated at this time and also id 1im- . ited housing accomodation for nurs- :es in training. In connection with the Harry J.

Crowe Scholarship which is receiv- ved by this Hospital each year, the; lnext year's candidate will be Missi ,'Flcrence Platts. Medical Staff

It Ls always with a very deep sense of obligation that we refer to the work of the medical staff of our hos- pital. Their interest in this irlstit- ution seems to increase year by year and they are always seeking better methods for carrying on their work. They give a great deal of time lec- turing to the nurses and in doing anything they can to further the in- terests of the Hospital. We have stressed the amount of free work that has been done in the Hospital this year and we must remember that it 1s not only the Hospital that tTikes part in this free work. Every one of those patients has been treat- ed absolutely free by some member of the Staff.

To the clergyman of the different denominations we again wish to ex- press our appreciation of their faith- ful work in visiting patients in the Hospital.

During the year Mr. W. C. s. Mc- Lure resigned from the Board. Mr. McLure assured us that 1t was with great regret that he did this but on account of his present position caus- ing him long absence from the Prov- ince at different times he felt it would not be fair to the institution for him to continue to hold the of- fice and he therefore tendered his resignation. The Board reluctantly accepted this for in doing so we felt we were losing a very strong and able representative. The vacancy so caus- ed by this resignation has been flll- ed by the appointment of Mr. Jam- es Paton and this meeting is asked to confirm this appointment.

According to the by-laws the terms of Mr " ‘l. Horne end Mr- w, K. Rog’ "ustees expire this year, both .. whom are eligible for re-clcctlon.

All of which is respectfully sub- mltted:

The percentages should not be taken as an indication that each in- dividual subscrlber has paid the full quota due March i. Some are over, and some under paid. The percent- ages are based on the general aver- age. v

It will be noticed that Charlotte- town subscribers have fallen consid- erably short on payments due March l. This may be, in part due to a ru- mour, current in the city, that building operations would not be started this season.

Now that it is definitely under- stoodthat construction will com- menoe this summer, we feel that sub- scribers will realize that it is abso-

'1utely necessary that the amount

due June l, together with arrears be paid promptly and in full, in or- der to provide the necessary funds to carry on the work.

The Committee considers, that up to this date, the Fund is in a healthy and satisfactory condition.

First Campaign

The following report was presented by Hon. Dr. F. R. Hcartz on the first campaign fund:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I herewith beg to submit eighth Annual Report and Financiai Statement ct the First Cilmllilitlil Fund of the Prince Edward Island Hospital up to April 30th, 193i.

On this occasion the Report will be brief as only a small amount has

the 30th of April, 1930, and submit- ted one year ago. If you will refer to the Report of

been collected from subscribers since the last statement, which was up i0

last, year, which will be found on page l2 of the Hospital Report. you will find that the first campiliﬂli fund had to its credit on April 30th. 1930, the sum of $36,497.84. During the past twelve months we have col- lected from sixteen subscribers $2,- 448.32, and from interest on bonds $1,556.44 (we actually collected in in- terest sl.9s7.69. but of this amount $431.25 had to be returned to capital account as we had paid that amount for accrued interest when purchasing the bonds). This makes the total collections for this year 84,004.76 from which ls deducted e charge of $3.00 for rent of safety dc- poelt box, leaving a net increase of $4,001.70 for the year. This added to the $30,497.84, makes the amount to the credit of the Fund on April 80th. 193i. 040,499.00

The total amount of the Flmd as subscribed was $77,150.05, and the total amount collected to April 90th, 193i, is $57,729.49, which leaves an uncollected balance of $19,429.96, s considerable portion of which will b! uncollectable. Quite s number of subscribers have refused to pay the balance 0n their pledges until the work for which the money was cr- iginally subscribed is carried out consequently each year u. portion of the amount l- uncollectsble owing to deaths and removal of sub- scribers to other pert-s. With the prospect of building activity in the near future by the erection of an up-to-date hospital, this excuse will become obsolete, and it is to be hoped and expected that this year will show a decided improvement in the collection. It might be advisable to coordinate the, collecting of this first campaign fund with the recent fund, but that is a matter for this meeting to discuss.

The following is a synopsis of ell receipts and expenditures from De- cember 1923 to April 30th. i931:
