Miss De-thia. Maud Tweedy.

Miss Beriilin Loh Mason.

Miss Drona iMary Foster.

The ‘lii-usieee wish to put on rec- ord their appreciation of the very great work the members of the La- dies’ Aid are doing in connection with this Hospital. While the Aid would not take official charge of the I-‘ai-r, still practically all t-he in- dividual members came to our assis- tance and made it the great success it was and this was more particul- urly true again in conection with the big Campaign in Ilecember. The work accomplished by the Ladies during that Campaign fa,- exceeded our greatest expectations. ll‘ any "Tmcmm 01‘ Blliillcstions vouild be 0t‘. fered in connection with the work of the Ladies‘ Aid, it would be_ that the membership of the society should be extended in numbers and over greater territory. iAs we have ‘mquemly D0|nted out i-n these re- ports, there should he a branch of the Ladies’ Aid in every town of any size in the two counties,

The Trustees also. as usual, wish io express their sincere apprecia- tion oi' the services rendered by many individuals and societies dur. lng the past year. While we some- times hear of criticism, we find when it comes to a real appeal for assistance that we never fiiil to re- ceive it which showis that in t-iie main our people are absolutely loy- a-l to the institution.

To the nurses whb during their period oi‘ training give three years 0f haird work without remuneration to tihe patients who come under their care and of ‘whom from those patients we hear nothing hut‘ sin. core apreciatlon of bheir services. To the Medical Staff who so gen- erously minister to the free patients and who give so much of their time for the general welfare of tlie Hos pitai.

given of about $1,150, and a1. though it would appear as if there were several country districts that should be heard from, and it might look as if they did not intend to

materialize. However, although this condition of affairs exists in relation to sev- arsi districts outside‘ of the city which have apparently not res- ponded, 1 am strongly of the opin- ion that the greater portion of the people in those districts have giv- en their amounts m» othq- d“. trials. cmiisuou. to tiioir own. We had such a very suporior coi- lectins system that l foei that everyone in the two counties was approached.

s number, have asked for the privil- ege of. not P871118 anything until the seoond period on Jul; 15th next. The remaining. overdue am

ounm are all for small sums. most of which will doubtless be settled in full when they are plld.

these overdues were checked up

the total of the unpaid pledges was: . Charlottetown . . . . . . . . . 410-69750 Country at lprgs .. ' 720.50 Foreign . . . . . . . . . 400.00 Georgetown 464.00 Montague 320.00 Souris . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 156.00 12,588 3 2.093

0f this amount one sixth i9 over due amounting to $2098. Since them quite a number have paid and each day sees tile overdue amounts getting less.

The result of the Campaign to April 30th 1924 i4 us follows:

This statement is a synopsis of the amounts sent in as the Cam paign progressed, buf owing to the fact that the date for tlie first psy- nient on the pledges matured dur- ing the Campaign, the grand total of $79,003.95 will remain, unchang- ed. but the two items the cash and tlie pledges that make up the grand total will assume quite a dif- ferent complexion now.

The total amount of cash receiv- ed up to April 30th was 824,495.61 of this amount the sum l have lust rend $10,067.73 was paid in by the subscribers during the Campaign leaving s balance of $14,427.88 as the amount paid in on account of the first payment due on January 15th, 1924,-and on account of sub- sequent due dates. Nothwith- standing the fact that according to the figures 1 read you n short time ago there is 3'11 amount of $2098 still remaining overdue on this first payment, it appears that up to April 30th a considerable amount has been paid over and obove the one sixth that was due at the first paying period.

By referring to the total sub- scriptions just read of 879063.95 and also to the total Campaign cash of $10,067.73 and the Rena McLean amount represented by Victory Bonds of $2800.00 in all $12,867.73 and deduct this amount from the $79,063.95, you will find that there remains a balance of pledges due of $66,196.22 or about $11,000 due each paying period. We have taken in an stated before $14,427.88, and there is yet due- about $2100 on the first payment so that it is quite evident that the payments to April 30th include about $5500 of money snot yet due, which will have a tent! cy ‘l0 W‘

lduce the amounts of th v next pay-

meats.

The total receipts to April 30th of $24,495.61 have been disbursed as follows:

Amount paid l1‘. C. Barber & Assoc expenses, board, etc, for 5 5-6

Telegrams .. . . . . . . . . . . . Telephones Campaign Clock . . . . . . . . . . .. Expenses country meetings . Postage . . . . . . . . . . . I . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ladies Aid Zion Church Rally Sup Reinit Hall Zion Church Trustees . .

I Stamps, advertising, etc, . . . . . . .‘ Paid P. E. I. Hospital overdraft in Initial expenses new heating plant

Baianxie

This leaves a balance to the credit of the Campaign Fund in the Canadian Bank of Commerce of $2800.88 part of which will he used at once to install a very superior and up to date X-Ray Machine which is expected here daily.

You will eee by the figures just

- read that the total campaign ex-

penses of $5588.36 are just about 7% of the total subscriptions, and considerably lee“ than the amount of $0125.25 given by the Foreign subscribers, and every subscriber in Charlottetown and the two counties of Kings and Queens can feel that none of his money has been or is being used for any oth- er purpose thnn for the improve- meut of conditions in thig ins-Uta iion. The expenses of the Cam- paign having been already attend- ed to by the great generosity and kindness of non residents. some of whom are not natives of this Province.

When the Trustees of the Hos- pital finally decided that in order to save -the Hospital it was im- perative that s large campaign was essential. they went to grout pains to ascertain exactly what immedi- ate requirement; were necessary and they found that in order to carry on at all, ws must have the following improvements:

this largedeuisad attraotiveto prosperous subscribers, and hi a

most limit, and I feel confident. thst_ the _ shocessttil result’ shows the wisdom of this decision. You-will notice that in the dis- rsenients up to date, l showed that in addition to the paying of expenses, the item Hospital in- debtedness 8l5,000 sblloars. This was one of the immediate require- ments, and it has also been paid. There lg now a balance of cash oni hand of $2800.88, out of this the new X-Rsy equipment will be paid, and that will only leave about $600.00 on hand.

l endeavored to show earlier in this report that it appeursas if about $5500 due on future due dates was already paid ‘in. conse- quently i do not anticipate very large amounts materiaiizing at the next two pay dates on July 15th, 1924 and January 15th, 1025. l have aii idea that they may not both total more than 820.000- 'i‘herefore unless the Trustees are

ling the interior. particularly as when the remodelling would be done, later the arrangements of

the pipes and radiators might all have to he changed at great nddi¥ tionul cost. Another question which might be carefully consider- ed by the subscrbierg here assemb- led, is: Is it advisable for us as shareholders in this institution to spend all this money on a building which was never adequate for the purpose. and which is situated in a locality totally unfitted in. every
