LUKE'S HOSPITAL, FROM October 1 to September 1902 . , 1901 , 30 , Owing to the cancellation of the agreement with the House of Rest for Consumptives on January I, 1902, and the conse- quent closing of the wards that had hitherto been used for con- sumptive patients, the statistics of the year present a diminution of work as compared with the previous year. The number of Hospital days has been 17,139 less, and the number of patients treated shows a decrease of 252. The current expenses this year have exceeded by $27,566.13 the current income, and this with four wards standing vacant. These wards could readily be used, save for two reasons—first, the income of the Hospital is insufficient to meet the increased expense necessary in such action, and second, through the pres- ent occupancy of the two upper floors of the Nurses’ Home by private patients, it would be difficult to maintain a nursing force essential to the care of a larger number of patients. The remedy of the first cause is obvious. St. Luke’s, to meet the demand upon it by the sick poor of New York and its vicinity, must have more money at its disposal earnestly appeal not ; and we only to the old friends of the Hospital, but also to all who are charitably minded, for support in the larger work that the in- creased population of the city calls upon us to do. It is hoped that the second difficulty will be met in the near future by the erection of a Pavilion for private patients, the need of which is very explicitly set forth by one of the Attending Surgeons of 9 : the Hospital in a letter to the President, which will be found in a Supplement to the Manager’s Report.
