MUNDE, M.D. RUDOLPH TAUSKY, M.D. givsctovs* ilcport for 1876, In giving the patrons and members of the Mount Sinai Hospital a report of its administration for the past year, the Directors would state that it has been their desire to extend the benefits of the Insti- tution to the greatest possible number, to procure for them the best medical help and greatest physical comfort, and to accomplish this with the utmost economy practicable. They believe that the record will bear the strictest investigation. The number of patients treated during the year was 1,516, against 1,330 for the previous year ; being a daily average of 114.84 as against 93.62, or an increase of over 21 patients daily. To do this, the number of employees has not been increased, while the food sup plies less , have cost by about $2,000 than during the year 1875 ; the cost of food for each inmate being 26|- cents per day. Having been enabled, by the results of the Fair held during December last, not only to replace the Sinking Fund, but also to obtain the means to make some very needful repairs and improve- ments, we would call your attention to the report of the Building Committee, showing what has been accomplished, and the way the money has been expended. It was absolutely necessary to provide the Hospital with additional heating apparatus, a proper house for the dead, and a room for surgical operations. The Board of Directors, therefore, did not hesitate to use a part of the funds so generously donated, for the purpose of establishing all these improvements. The total expense incurred has been about $17,000. We invite their inspection, believing that they are thoroughly adapted for their purposes ; they having been carried out under the careful supervision of the architect, Mr. H. Fernbach ; other alterations have yet to be made, and plans for them are now being digested. It is our hope to bring the Mouut Sinai Hospital, in all its appointments, into the front rank of its sister institutions of this city. We would call your attention to the reports of the Executive and Finance Committees, which contain the details of the workings of this great charity ; we rely upon an ever warm-hearted, generous [ public to support it by its patronage and membership. Our receipts I from these sources are not sufficient, by far, to cover the running expenses, and while the report of the Treasurer shows a balance of j I $33,000 on hand on December 1st, it must be remembered that this Fuud, and } $12,500 of belongs to the Sinking $12,000, more or | less, are still due for cost of the above-mentioned improvements, so j that but $8,000 to $9,00J remain, applicable to the maintenance of | the Hospital. 6 directors' report. : The practice of erecting tablets in our wards, to perpetuate the memory of departed relatives and friends, cannot be too highly com- mended. Four such memorials have been added during the past year to those previously existing, and another will soon express our gratitude for the legacy left the Hospital by the late Lewis Phillips. We gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a legacy left by the late Max Heidelbach. The outdoor department has gained in attendance very consider- ably, and a very satisfactory system of order has been introduced. To our medical and dispensary staff, who have with unflagging devotion given their time and skill for the relief of the suffering poor, we tender our sincere thanks; their efforts have been well rewarded, by seeing so large a number of convalescents and cured leave our Hospital. Let us hope that Divine Providence will enable all who are interested in the welfare of an institution which opens wide its doors to the poor and helpless, without distinction of creed or nationality, which asks no questions and imposes no restrictions, except that the applicant come within its rules of admission, to con- tinue their labors, and that its friends may increase and multiply, so that every corner of its noble building may be made available, and be dedicated to its holy work. Respectfully submitted. ADOLPH HALLGARTEN, President. H. ARONSON, Vice-President. SAMUEL M. SCHAFER, Treasurer. NATHAN LTTTAUER, Hon. Secretary. i : Report ox the gutancc (Committee. To the Board of Directors of the Jit. Sinai Hospital. The Finance Committee beg to submit the following as their yearly report. The receipts and disbursements of the Hospital, during the year ending November, 30th, 1876, were as follows RECEIPTS. Dues from Patrons #14,812 50 41 " Members 10,395 00 Receipts from Pay Patients 2,571 49 " Interest 4,110 17 " " Legacies and Bequests 4,833 9(> ; " < Donations 5,821 07 " " Book of Life 183 75 " " Perpetual Bed Account 5,000 00 " Life Bed Account 2,000 00 " " Life Member Account 200 00 " Sundries 96 18 $49,524 12 DISBURSEMENTS. The annexed schedule "A" contains a detailed statement of the Support Account, amounting to ... $44,485 94 Schedule "B" details the receipts from Legacies and Bequests ; schedules "C" and "D," the donation received through the "Book of Life," and other donations. Schedules "E " and "F" are detailed statements of the Perpetual Bed and Life Bed Accounts; schedule "G" presents an exhibit of the Hospital Building and Property Accounts ; and schedule "H" is the balance sheet of the books. Your committee have examined the Treasurer's accounts and found the same correct. By a comparison of the Support Account of this year with that of the year previous, we find the expenses of the Institution reduced by the amount of $2,280.52, while, at the same time, its wards have been opened to a much larger number of applicants, in both the Indoor and the Dispensary Department, than at any previous periods. 8 REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE. The generosity displayed by the community towards us during the late Hospital Fair, as also various bequests, made to us by benevolent members of our faith, have largely increased our resources. The net result of the Fair was $115,229.08, of which $90,000 were used for the reinstatement of the Sinking Fund, $77,595 thereof having been invested on first mortgages on improved real estate in the city of New York (schedule I), worth at least double the amount loaned thereon, and the balance is in the hands of the Treasure r, to be similarly applied. The remaining amount has been reserved to meet contracts, already made, for permanent improvements specified in the report oi the Building Committee. Through the munificent bequest of the late Lewis Phillips, Esq., the sum of $3,209.01 has already been paid to us, and we also own a one-fourth interest in three (3) mortgages, assigned by his execu- tors jointly to the Hebrew Benevolent and Orphan Asylum Society, the Hebrew Free School Society, the Hebrew Free Burial Society, and the Mount Sinai Hospital, amounting in the aggregate to $35,761.94. The Finance Committee would suggest that proper recognition be taken of the great liberality displayed by the deceased toward our charity, by commemorating it in some suitable manner on the part of our institution. We are also enabled to gratefully record various other legacies and bequests (schedule B), and donations (schedule C), amongst which an award made to us by the Board of Apportionment, to the amount of $4,248, deserves special and grateful mention. It will thus be seen that the people of this community are keeping us in good remembrance, and in return for the great encouragement we have received, and are continually receiving, we shall earnestly endeavor to extend the benefits of the Institution to a still larger number of the suffering poor and afflicted. Respectfully submitted, FERDINAND KURZMAN, Chairman, V. H. ROTHSCHILD, J. M. STINE, H. H. NATHAN, ISAAC BLUMENTHAL. i REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 29, 2013, Designation List 469 LP-2540 41 WORTH STREET BUILDING, 41 Worth Street, Manhattan. Built c. 1865; Isaac F. Duckworth, architect; Architectural Iron Works, Daniel D. Badger & Company, cast iron Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 176, Lot 10 On June 25, 2013, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 41 Worth Street Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council; Victorian Society, New York; and Tribeca Trust. The president of the White Rose Artists Corporation board spoke in opposition. The Commission also received three letters in opposition to designation from members of the White Rose Artists Corporation board, including the president and vice-president. The Commission previously held a public hearing on this building on September 19, 1989 (LP-1728). Summary The five-story former store-and-loft building at 41 Worth Street was designed c. 1865 by Isaac F. Duckworth, an architect who designed several store-and-loft buildings in the Tribeca East, Tribeca South, and SoHo-Cast Iron Historic Districts. Built for Philo Laos Mills, a prominent dry goods merchant and founder of Mills & Gibb, the cast- iron facade, manufactured by Daniel D. Badger’s Architectural Iron Works, is intact above the first story. Designed in the Venetian-inspired Italianate style, the facade features tiers of single-story arcades with recessed, round-arched fenestration framed by rope moldings, molded lintels, and keystones springing from fluted columns, and spandrels cast to imitate rusticated masonry.
