    Our most urgent need at the present time is the provision of centralised boilers for the supply of steam, domestic hot water, and heating. The boilers originally installed have come to the end of their useful life, and new plant of a more efficient type is to be installed before the end of 1934. Personnel.—Dr. Mary E. Hewart Jones continues to hold the position of Assistant Medical Officer, and 1 take this opportunity of expressing my unquali- fied appreciation of her loyal support and efficient service. In the Dental Department Mr. C. Hurry Riches, L.D.S., who attends here fortnightly, continues to do useful work. Acknowledgments.—We are grateful to the Ladles Sewing Guild for their continued support in providing clothing for poor patients. The various branches throughout Monmouthshire are doing good work in easing some of the burden which the tuberculous poor have to bear. A large number of books and magazines were again received this year. Over one hundred volumes were received from the National Library of Wales as a result of the President’s appeal, and to all those donors we tender our grateful thanks. Books are always welcomed by the patients, and they help to pass many an otherwise dreary hour in bed, quite pleasantly. To the concert parties, who have entertained the patients during the year, we tender our keen appreciation and thanks. Religious services have been regularly held in the Chapel, and warm thanks are accorded to the Rector of Michaelstone, the Rev. D. Hopkln Evans, and to the Nonconformist Chaplain, the Rev. Gray Davies, Rumney, for their zealous work in caring for the spiritual needs of the patients. 1 once again have pleasure in acknowledging the assistance 1 have received from my House Committee and the Central Office Staff. In conclusion, 1 gratefully acknowledge the efficient and devoted service rendered by my medical colleagues, the Matron, and the whole Hospital staff.
