and the collective days' stay of patients
last year (13,116) was, twenty-seven
per cent. above the 1944 figure awl
nearly one-third above die average of
the previous four years:,
Receiptse from patients were $37,-
334.74, against $33,990.59 in sthe previ-
ous year, and the total evenue showed
an increase of $5,536,41. - As the
revenue increased -costs wentup alsteto
an even greater degree, so That where-
.. as in 1944 there was an excese of
income over expenditure of .$1.55.08, the
operations of 1945 resulted in a deficit
of $1,104.61.
