    Annual Report. yHE Board of Management herewith present their Report and ■ the Accounts of the Hospital for the year 1942. During the year the services of the Hospital to residents and evacuees in the district which it serves were fully and efficiently maintained in spite of increasing difficulties caused by the war. Income and Expenditure Account shows an adverse balance of £1,764 5s. Od. , as against £939 9s. 6d. for 1941, but this increase is due to the fact that, with a view to simplifica¬ tion and economy of labour, it has been decided to keep the accounts on a cash basis and to include in them only such receipts and payments as were actually received or paid during the year. On this basis subscriptions amounted to £2,130, as against £2,393 received for the year 1941. Receipts by the Hospital of weekly contributions under the Contributory Scheme amounted to £4,500 out of a total of £5,101 9s. 7d. actually collected in the year, as compared with £3,519 for 1941, but this increase, due to the raising of the weekly contributions from Id. to 3d. , by no means represents the full amount of the increase which may be expected, for, owing to the change in the method of book-keeping above mentioned, the £4,500 actually received by the Hospital represents only three-quarters of the year’s income from that source, as one-quarter of the contributions is not received until after the close of the year. In a full year, beginning from 1st January, 1943, it may be fairly estimated that the total receipts from the Scheme will amount to upwards of £7,000. Alexandra Rose Day produced £579 4s. lid., a record total. The Board acknowledge with deep appreciation the following gifts:— To the end of the year £656 10s. in donations for the new X-Ray Examination Couch, together with £200 received from Mr. W. H. McAlpine, which, being in excess of the amount required, has, with his consent, been reserved for other purposes. Twenty-five blankets from the Ladies’ Association.
