As was to be expected, the operating deficit was larger during the first three months: of operation, due to the fact that a staff had to be maintained while the income from. patients was being established, Until about a week ugo, it was not possible to de- termine the operating de ficit, as the Maintenance Grant given by the Pro- vince to help reduce the losses arising from services to indigent patients was AC COMPLET E STORY ON THE DE- TAILS IN REGARDS TO COST, yagd J - MAINTENANCE, ETC.

(See tabula- tion for 'May, which shows the amount assumed as a minimum of possible collection, two-thirds. the total.) The monthly salary cheques have always been issued regularly on time. Taking the break between construe- tion and operation as Dee. 31, 1952, the present Board fell heir to a capi tal indebtedness of $26,084.00 at that date. To offset this, there was a final Federal grant of $8,000 definitely ex- pected." (Another Special Provincial Grant of $2,900 was later allowed and has been received.) In addition there was a bank balance of $10,414.60, As of May 31, the inherited ac- counts" were reduced from $26,084 to $13,790.83. The Board has thus paid off $12,293.17 of the old construction accounts, But it has been forced to incur: a further liability of $9,147.69, making the total indebtedness $22,- 938.562, as at the end of May. - Had it not been for the generous donations of money and supplies from It is necessary at this time to leave at least $6,000 of the expected grants in the capital bank account, to cover the varying overdrafts occurring in the -operating bank "account, arising from the. necessity of meeting' sal- aries on time while ,at times, consider- able amounts are still due from Blue Cross and from patients paying direct- ly but Mpls to payin full. This limits the payments which can be made on the liability of $22,938.52 to about $5,000... The Board is thus urgently in need of about $18,000 to be able to clear up the old accounts (some of which are becoming press: ing) and leave the necessary backlog in the operating account, - If this amount could be raised at this time, the Board would confidently expect to operate until Dee, 81 with a final operating deficit of from $6,000 numerous organizations and individ- uals (as reported from time to time in the Port Perry Star), these further by $4,713.14, the total of such dona- tions from Jan, 1 to May 81. The $8,000 -is_still to come, but the initial bank balance of -over $10,000 has been spent to cover the above ré- duction in the inherited indebtedness, (continued on page 4) . s, - Ea MPING Ist Camp under the supervision of Wesley Lane and helpers... vision of Stan Ploughman and helpers.
