It made us all feel good." He paid special tribute to all the individuals, service clubs and organizations that have supported the hospital expan- sion plans financially. The financial report showed a surplus of $293,000 for the year ending March 31, Please recycle this newspaper the first time in several years, there hasbeen a surplus. This was due to two rea- sons: cost cutting and an extra $150,000 added to the base bud- get last summer by the Health Ministry. Mr. Brown said this year the hospital will be spending $160,000 to hire more nursing staff for the emergency depart- ment. The statistical report showed the number of births in- creased last year (from 1656 to 182) and there were increases in" the number of patient/days; operations; physiotherapy vis- its; and day surgery cases. | The number of lab tests, X- ray exams, admissions and emergency visits dropped last year from the previous year.
