Benevolent Asylum (INCORPORATED) The FORTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT of the General Committee of Management, * I "*HE Board of Management of the Geelong Infirmary and Benevolent Asylum have the honour * to submit for the information of the Governors, the Subscribers, and tae General Public, their Forty-seventh Annual Report of the conditions and progress of the Institution, for the year ending 30th June, 1899, together with an Audited Balance Sheet and a synopsis of the finances. The latter part of the year has been marked by the excessive number of Typhoid cases admitted, which has been a great strain on the resources of the Hospital, both as regards the nursing staff, and from a financial aspect, 99 patients have been treated for this disease, 9 died, and there are remaining at present under treatment, 13. Your committee is glad to he able to to say that notwithstanding the numbers admitted, no case has had to he refused this year, through want of room. Your Committee, while thanking the many generous subscribers for the way in which they support the Institution, feel it their duty to say that the contributions do not compare favourably with other charities of a like nature (see page 12 re Municipal Grants) and earnestly appeal for help to those who do not subscribe There are hundreds of non-subscribers in the Town and District, who would never miss a small sum once a year, and to these this request is specially directed. An effort has been made to induce some of the ladies residing in the town to collect small sums from people whom it is found hard to approach in the usual way. This systerhj which works very satisfactorily in other centres, has not been marked with 4 any degree of snocess here, as with a few exceptions the cards have heen returned empty. This has heen disappointing, as it was hoped that a considerahle source of incomo would accrue. Ladies willing to collect are respectfully'solicited to send in their names to ""the Secretary. For every £1 collectedfone/Iri, and two Out-patients tickets will be "issued, Subscribers are earnestly requested to bringjthe pressing needs of the Institution forcibly before their friends and the public. It cannot fail to strike one that the same names appear year after year on all the ^charitable subscription lists. These generous few are mulcted for every th||g, ^wlpef i|i'e,*liTjge-; majority "'go^ on' their way, not contributing one penny. It is to this majority that your committee looks for aid, especially as in their ranks will he found the ones who derive the benefits of the Institution. 2,681 eases have received relief, lull particulars are given in the following tables :— In-Door Patients. Males. Females. Total Remaining in the house, 1st July, 1898 40 21 61 Number admitted during the year .. 499 321 820 539 342 881 Discharged, cured or relieved .. 417 274 691 Discharged at own request 11 6 17 Left unrelieved 10 17 27 Died 48 26 74 Number remaining 30th June, 1899 53 19 72 539 342 881 Benevolent Asylum Inmates.

The average rate of mortality has been 9-3 for all eases, and 8-3 for Hospital In-Door Patients. 7 Deaths occurred within 24 hours of admission. This is a low death rate for a General Hospital. The total number remaining in the House on the 30th June, 1899, was 184. The Religious Denominations and Birth-places of those treated in the Institution during the year, have heen as follows. Religious Denominations Birth-Places Ohurch of England 392 Australian Colonies .. 609 Roman Catholic 317 England and Wales ... 190 Presbyterian 129 Ireland .. 150 Wesleyan 133 Scotland ... 67 Other Protestants 72 Other British Possessions 4 „ Foreign Countries ... 21 China 2 1043 1043 Income and Expenditure. The Receipts for Maintenance during the year, were £6431 6s. lid.; and the total Expenditure under this heading was £5609 4s. 7d. Under the classification of Building £92 Is. 5d. was paid. The Bank Overdraft on 30fch June, 1898, was £1650 12s. 5d. This was reduced in July, to £256 5s. 4d, by transferring £1394 7s. Id. from the Endowment Fund to the General Account. A balance of £252 10s lying to the credit of the Endowment Fund, was subsequently transferred to the General Account, and the Endowment Fund is now practically extinct. With the coming year a good deal of painting, general renovating and repairs will have to he done, and it is hoped that an increased income will enable your Committee to successfully undertake thiB. 6 Endowment and Reserve Fund, The amount to the credit of this Fund is only £163 18s.

Annual average cost, £28 Is. 7d. per head. This is £4 13s. per head less than last year, and £7 2s. 7d. than the year before that. Considering the excessively high price of provisions, this should be considered a very satisfactory reduction, and is the one and only basis on which calculations can be properly made It would hare heen considerably lower but for tlie enhanced prices ruling for meat, butter, milk, and potatoes, etc., in the early part of 1898. The milk account has risen from £270 9s. lid. in 1897-98 (when there was a daily average of 192-8 inmates) to £329 18s. 3d. for the year under review with a daily average of only 186; and meat which in the former year cost £554 18s, lOd. has risen to £631. 3s. 8d. These items have all been adverse to a low cost per head, yet notwithstanding these factors, your Committee, by scrupulous caie and attention to minor,details, is proud to be able to show so large a reduction. Charge for Drugs to Out-Patients, Every care is taken to prevent this being in the slightest degree oppressive, and all those who are too poor to pay are exempted. The Secretary inquires into each case 4a< increase of £28 10s. shows for the current year, although the numbers treated are less than during 1897-98.

File G13123, B1126 Precinct Heritage Overlay Nam Nat. Trust Classification Individual Heritage Overlay No. HO20 Statement of Significance National Estate Register: Barunah Plains is a late nineteenth century homestead development and is important for exhibiting a rich array of cultural features as follows: a collection of bluestone buildings including the homestead and outbuildings; and a homestead garden and parkland with a large attractively crafted timber gate, a timber pedestrian bridge, shrubberies, a sunken croquet lawn, a rose garden and mature trees (Criterion A.3). Barunah Plains has a strong and long association with the grazing history of the western district, and thus with a major chapter of the history of Victoria (Criterion A.4). The range of structures on the property, including bakery, laundry, cottages, implement shed, stables, coach house, woolshed and ram building, is important for the way it reflects a functioning western district sheep property founded in the nineteenth century. Additionally, the ram shed and the gate providing entry to the garden and park are unusual features. The garden is also important as an example of the Gardenesque design style, exhibiting the following style characteristics: a dominance of shrubberies with minimal lawn area; use of gravel paths; and use of trees with distinctive form as features (Criterion B.2).

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.

The crash-based analysis compared crash frequencies for the period in which up to 73 mobile radar devices were operational (July 1995-June 1997) with corresponding two-year period before their introduction (July 1992-June 1994) when there was no mobile radar enforcement. The crash effects were examined according to the type of Police vehicle used during each session of mobile radar operation. The type of vehicle used was either a marked patrol car – signifying the overt operation, or an unmarked patrol car signifying the covert operation. Interactions of the enforcement with varying levels of mobile radar publicity awareness were also considered.
