    cost $60,000. An endowment of $50,000 will be neces¬ sary. Facilities in the operating room suite do not meet the requirements. Needed additions and alterations in the laboratories and operating suite are estimated to cost $135,000, which will require the interest on $250,000 of additional endowment to maintain these additions and to provide technicians’ services. The pathological department has for some time re¬ quested a more suitable amphitheatre permitting the release of the present post-mortem room for addi¬ tional laboratory space. The estimated cost of this is $40,000. Interest on $70,000 will be required to main¬ tain this addition. We have no funds with which to build these addi¬ tions. We now spend more than our income. A mil¬ lion dollars will be required for the buildings and en¬ dowment necessary to provide for the needs we have described. The Board of Incorporators is grateful for the valuable services of the following eminent physician and surgeons who have served as temporary chiefs of service during the past year: Duncan Graham, Professor of Medicine, Toronto University, served as Physician-in-Chief pro tem from March 3 to 8. Rene Leriche, Professor of Surgery, University of Strasbourg, was here as Surgeon-in-Chief pro tem from June 17 to 22. D. P. D. Wilkie, Clinical Professor of Surgery, University of Edinburgh, served as Surgeon-in-Chief pro tem from October 6 to 14.
