    REPORT OF BOARD OF MANAGEMENT. The Board of Management have decided in the national interest that this, their forty-ninth Annual Report, should be in abridged form, and trust that their decision will meet with the approval of the Governors and Subscribers of the Hospital. At the Annual Meeting, Major W. Harcourt Webb, J.P., was again unanimously re-elected President of the Hospital, and Mr. J. James as Honorary Treasurer. At the first Meeting of the year the Board unanimously re-elected Sir Sidney Law as Chairman, and Mr. J. M. Standish as Vice-Chairman, for the ensuing year. At the same meeting the Standing Committees were re-elected en bloc with the addition of Mr. F. S. Green to the House Committee, and Mr. L. Cartwright to the Finance Committee. Legacies.—The following legacies have been received during the year and are most gratefully acknowledged to the Executors of the late *_ Mr. William Dukes ... ... ... £18 Miss I. E. Grove ... ... ... ... £90 Mr. T. C. Black ... ... ... ... £100 In spite of various difficulties experienced in many ways during the year your Board feel they have reason to be satisfied with the year’s working and progress. The co-operation of the members of the Medical, Nursing, Clerical, Household and other Staffs has in no small measure contributed to those difficulties being surmounted, and to all Members of the Staffs your Board tender their very grateful thanks. Heartiest congratulations are extended to the successful candidates in the Primary and Final Examinations of the General Nursing Council. Valuable assis¬ tance has been received from numerous voluntary workers, and their efforts are especially appreciated. Library.—Many gifts of books received during the year greatly helped to build up a useful sized library, and thanks are accorded to Miss M. Smith who kindly gave much of her spare time to the organisation of the Library. Her work in this direc¬ tion has been greatly appreciated not only by the Board, but by the patients. In extending thanks to donors of books, the Board at all times welcome further gifts of books and magazines. Annual Subscribers.—Your Board are pleased to report that a number of subscribers decided to enter into a Deed of Covenant to enable the Hospital to recover Income Tax on their annual subscription. To those subscribers who have not yet entered into this form of agreement, your Board appeal again for their kindly consideration. The appropriate form may be found on page 6. Amounts recoverable in respect of Deeds of Covenant completed during the year will be shown in the next Annual Report. An asterisk placed by the .Subscriber’s name denotes those who are participating.
