Three years ago a Building Fand was stuted for the purpose of extending the accommodation at the Hospital.
At the time this Fund was started, it was estimated that Ts. 7,000 would be sufficient, but owing to the incrossed cost of matorisl, and other eases, it has sin-e been found that from T's 10,000 to Tls. 12,000 will be required. That this extension is absolutely necessary, will readily be seen, when it is shown that over 1,100 people treated yearly as indoor patients, and that the total number of patients treated at the Hospital now exceeds 80,000 per Another great need, too. is an berating room, s that the Dnetors will he able to perform all surgical operations with greater benefit to the patients. It must not be forgotten, also, that when the extra room has been built, some little money will be required to buy beds, linen and furniture.
At present the Fund amounts to Tls. 5.31244, which has been subscribed as follow:
