    £546/13/5 in the previous year. Here again is reflected the stress of economic law. The support which has been accorded to the Hospital by the Annual Subscribers, Donors and Workpeople has been splendid, and tiie cordial thanks of the Council are due to all who have stood by the Hospital so loyally in the abnormal conditions prevailing. Legacies. During the year a Legacy of £152/15/0 has been received from the Executors of the late Mrs. Ellen L. Garbutt, who bequeathed one half of her residuary estate to the Hospital. In accordance with the practice of the Council this amount has been placed to the credit of the Investment Deposit Account for investment. It is earnestly hoped that testators will continue to remember the needs of the Hospital when drawing up their Wills. By so doing they will be ensuring not only the preservation of the Voluntary Hospital System—for benefactions of this nature are never used for general purposes, but are invested and the income only so used— but the perpetuation of the great work in which they have been interested, and for which they have done so much in their lifetime. Gift of Stock. I have to report that a generous friend of the Hospital, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed a desire to transfer Stock to produce an annual income of £25 for the perpetual benefit of the Hospital, and accordingly transferred £833/6/8 of 3% Local Loan Stock, the income from the gift to be used for the same purpose as the ordinary annual income. The thanks of the Council have been conveyed to the donor of the Stock for this further mark of sympathetic interest in the work of the Hospital. Expenditure. The expenditure has remained steady. There is an increase under the heading of Surgery and Dispensary accounted for by the purchase of equipment for the X-Ray Department, a new Screen¬ ing Stand and a Dosimeter costing £164/5/9 and £184/7/10 respectively* The opening of the Sister Elizabeth Memorial Wing has necessitated an increase in the Nursing and Domestic Staff, which is reflected in increased expenditure under the heading of Salaries and Wages. This increase will be much more pronounced in the coming year when the Wing has been in occupation for a complete year.
