![Statistics During the year ending December 31st, 1930, the Society admitted to the two branches of its service 5,330 cases, and the members of its medical staff officiated at 4,599 births. According to the returns from the City Health Department, there were 39,231 births in the Borough of Manhattan, of which 36,216 were reported by physicians and 2,915 by midwives and others. Thus, the Society cared for over 11 per cent of the total number of confinements in the Borough and more than 12 per cent of those attended by physicians. The total number of applications for treatment was 5,441. In the out-patient department, there were 1,254 applicants, 1,096 of whom received treatment either as general cases or confinements, which latter numbered 983. The number of applicants for hospital care during the year was 4,187, though, owing to the fact that many patients who had applied prior to January 1st, 1930 were admitted after that date, 4,261 were treated, 3,571 of these being confinement cases. Its own ambulance service brought to the Hospital 48 cases. Detailed figures showing the Hospital’s work during the year will be found in the following pages. Of the 4,218 patients concerning whom information was ob¬ tainable, 4,170 lived in front and 48 resided in rear tenements. 77 patients resided in basements, 391 on stoop floors, 777 on first floors, 898 on second floors, 806 on third floors, 537 on fourth floors and 666 on fifth floors and 66 not noted.
