As there were only four patients in the Hospital it was deemed advisable to qousult the Matron with respect to the reduction of the staff. The Chairman enquired of Miss Holdgate whether she could see her way to do so without affecting the efficiency of the staff.

The matter then dropped. The Treasurer reported the receipts for the month amounted to £149 8a Bd, which left a credit balance in the Jjank of £lO3 7d, after paying all last month’s accounts.
