    The Annual Subscriptions came to slightly less than last year. Certain sources of revenue showed the following most helpful increases :— £ s. d. Hospital Sunday ... ... 20 17 3 Hospital Saturday ... ... 70 0 0 Donations ... ... 307 9 2 Employees’ Contributions ... 62 6 5 But other sources of revenue yielded less than in 1927. The Committee are pleased to announce that the New Laundry was completed early in the year, and is now working satisfactorily. This has proved a very desirable and useful acquisition to the Hospital. The total cost of the building and machinery together with the the new Mortuary amounted to £861 16s. 4d. Several other additions have also been made during the year. A Permutit Plant for softening water has been installed at a cost of £207 7s. lOd. This has been entirely defrayed by the generosity of a donor who prefers to remain anonymous. An Ultra-Violet Bay Outfit has been provided at a cost of £87 7s. 6d., towards which the sum of £50 was kindly contributed by the Earl of Dysart, and the balance from proceeds of Easton Flower Show Fund. The Committee tender their warmest thanks to the donors. Large amounts had to be expended on necessary work in connection with the domestic boilers, sections of which were found defective, and had to be re-placed. The Court yard at the back of the Hospital has been entirely re-paved and all paths and approaches put in good order. The Wireless Installation has now been working for three years and continues to give great satisfaction.
