    In 1892 the amount payable was £260 18s. 7c!., and in 1891 it was ^181 ns. 2^d. At the end of 1891 it was decided to abolish all payments for patients in the general wards, except parochial patients. It will be seen, there- fore, that owing to the increased number of private patients the abolition of compulsory payment by ratepayers has not been followed by any reduction of receipts from patients. The items in the following statement have been furnished by Mr. Stevens, the Borough Accountant :— Expenditure at Sanatorium.
