place our Hospital on a sound financial footing, •
Increased costs are a major facter in the rising scale of deficit shown. For in.atalline, the cost
per patient day ie $6.95, while, the payment for indigent patients is only $2.25 per day, InCreae-
ed eateries and wagesare another factor; they now make up half of the total- expenditure.
Private gifts to Hospitals are almost a thing of the past and cannot be relied Upon to help in a
"financial way.
