Tono:~"ro, Jan. `.!4.-In his annual report, Dr. T. F. Chamberlain reports that all hospitals of the province are doing good work and in many of them there has been an improvement in their sanltar condition and conveniepces. and in provi ing special buildings for special diseases during the `year. The inspector, in his report, says: There is still adispositinn to multiply hospitals in some localities where one hosp - tal would be quite suilicient to do all t e work. This should be absolutely prevented by legislation of a more stringent character. Tho total number of hospitals now receiv- ing provincial aid is forty-three, all of which receive their proportion of the gov- ernment grunt, whichthis year amounted to $110,001). The total number of pa- tients treated in hospitals durin the past year was l9,0l7, as compared 5/ tb 17,617 the our previous. In addition to this num r of patients. thousands of outdoor patients have been treated by the various hospitals during the year. The number of deaths for the same riod was 1.100 as compared with 1,04. the previous year. The total days stay of patients in hos- pitals durinq the year was 523,247. uncom- pnred with 496,602! the previous year. The total receipts from all sources. other than the government grant, for the past year I were $362,(i`23, as compared with $311,727 the previous year, be'rrgr an increase of over 850,000.
