    The heating is by fires and stoves. The lighting is by electric light. The water is the public supply. An ambulance is pro¬ vided. The sewage passes through a settling tank, and is irrigated on part of the site, on which osiers are planted. The whole site is surrounded by a galvanised iron fence. The Staff consists of matron, staff nurse, 3 probationers, cook- housemaid, one ward maid, one laundress, an engineer, and a porter-gardener. There are five houses within a quarter mile and six within half a mile radius. The site is an admirable one, and the buildings, so far as they go, satisfactory. The Hospital is too small for the needs of the Districts provided for, and there are several important deficiencies.
