    The Committee desire to record their appreciation and thanks for the valuable help rendered to the Hospital by the annual subscribers, donors of money, and gifts in kind. During the year annual subscriptions received amounted to £1,126 Is. Id., as against £1,197 18s. lOd. in 1938. A large number of subscribers have availed them¬ selves of adding to the value of their gifts without further cost to themselves by adopting the scheme whereby the Hospital may obtain a refund of Income Tax. It is hoped that this method of helping the Hospital will commend itself to all subscribers, as thereby the income from subscriptions can be increased consider¬ ably without any additional expense to the subscriber. To obtain the benefit of the scheme a subscriber has to agree to pay his subscription for a period of seven years. Full information will be found on page 47. BIRMINGHAM HOSPITALS CONTRIBLTORY ASSOCIATION. The amount received from the Birmingham Hospitals Contributory Association (which included the Birmingham Hospital Saturday Fund contribution) during the year was £11,225. The Committee acknowledge with gratitude this vital contribution to the Hospital’s income, and wish all concerned with this splendid organisation every success in their efforts to secure financial support for the voluntary hospitals of Birmingham. The Committee also desire to extend their appreciation and thanks to the firms and individuals who have been responsible for the collection of funds, as they realise that the substantial financial assistance afforded to this Hospital is in great measure due to their efforts and support. One of the most useful auxiliary services of the Birmingham Hospitals Contributory Association is the Ambulance Service, and the Committee cannot speak too highly of this branch of their activities. BIRMINGHAM HOSPITAL SUNDAY FUND. The Committee are most grateful to the Hospital Sunday Fund Committee for their grant of £110 7s. Id. to the funds
