Schedule showing Financial Position at each Resort.

Note.—No allowance is made in these figures-for interest on capital expenditure or for depreciation of plant or buildings. The expenditure for the year amounted to £45,934, against ,£46,478 for the previous year, being a decrease of £544. The following is a brief summary of the Department's operations a< the various resorts mentioned : — Te Aroha. The receipts show a substantial increase, due chiefly to additional patronage of the playinggreens and tea-house. The domain and various bathhouses have been maintained in good order throughout the year, two new rinks have been added to the bowling-greens, and a large number of eucalyptus seedlings planted on Bald Spin , . An area of ground behind the Cadman Baths is being brought under cultivation, and when completed will add considerably to the beauty of the domain. An electric call-bell service lias been installed in each of the private bathrooms in the Cadman Baths, and will enable any bather to call prompt assistance in case of difficulty. The gardens have been kept up to their best standard, and have been greatly appreciated by visitors to Te Aroha. Rotorua Sanatorium and Baths. The receipts total £6,141, as against £6,416, being a decrease of £275, which is more than accounted for by the falling-oil in out-patients' fees due to the absence on leave of the Balneologist (Dr. A. S. Wohlmann). There is also a falling-ofi of £120 in receipts from massage and electrical treatments, but fees from in-patients show an increase of £249. The women's Aix massage-room in the main baths has been renovated, and a new tank installed for Rachel water. With the opening of the Cottage Hospital, under the control of the Department of Hospitals and Charitable Aid, the emergency ward at the Sanatorium was closed. A Nurses' Home, with accommodation for seven nurses, has been built in the Sanatorium grounds and comfortably furnished. During the absence of Dr. Wohlmann, Dr. J. M. Scott, House Surgeon and Assistant Medical Officer, is in charge of the Sanatorium and baths.
