The giftg f Mr. Slater gnd Mr. Byolus, through whose Iliberality and publie spirit the institution was wade possible, were Jarge and adequate for ti time when they were given. It is same times forgotten that a very subistantial portion of the funds received from these original donars was necessarily used In proyiding hospital buildings and equip- ment and that the balance left for an en- dowment from w! an Inecome can be obtained is not I for the support of an instifution of this kind at the presenmt time. Sines the hospital was established new discoveries and new methods in med- fcine and surgery have created new de- mandg for hospital treatment necessitat- ing mew hospital equipment. It must al= so be remembered that the hospital has grown during the last tem years very materially. The number of patients ad- mitted in 1907 was 547 and in 1920—1344 The maintenance expense of the hospital in 1919 was nearly three times what it was in 1907, while the income from in- vestments was substantially - the same. The fotal of new endowments received by the hospital avgilable for geperal pur- poses during the first 25 years after its establishment was less than $25.000. In other words the growth of the hospital hag been quite outf propertion (o any increase in endowment. In view of the financial situation as stated, the executjve committes was con- fronted by a serious problem. Upon comparison of the charges made to pa- tients In a large number of hospitals of the state it was Tound that the rates at the Backus hospital for all glasses of seryice were much below t average and in many instances the lowest of any the institutions compared. We there- fore decided feo semewhat increase these charges. The increased charges will not, however, provide for certain new construe- tion and equipment which is necessary If hospital s ‘to continye its present work and meet new demands which are sure to come. X materfal restriction of this work or the constant draft upon the principal of invested funds in‘cases Where that is possible does net seem to us good husiness or censistent with a preper re- gard for the future of the hospital and its usefulness in this community. Under 4l] the circumstances the committee see ne way but to appeal to the publie fer additional funds. As already suggested | We believe that the lack of financial suj _|port neretotore given to the hospital h: been due to a lack of infomation as to existing conditions rather than to any lack of Interest or disposition to avoid any obligation. One of the present needs of.the hos- pital is an enlarged laboratory and ‘equip- ment. The suggestion ag to the neces- sity of ‘additional service in this depart- ment was made last winter by our city health officer in response to the question. “What is the mast urgent need in the interest of the health of this commu- nity.” This suggesiion has recelved the carefyl comsideration of the committee and the visiting staff, In conference with Dr, John T. Black, state commissioner of health, agnd Dr. €. J. Bartlett, state di- rector of the bureau of laboratories at New Haven, who have given valuable advice. The present laboratory was es- tablished by a gift of $32,000 from a friend whose name hag been withheld from publication. The income from this fund has been sufficient to emable the hospital to de the ordinary work required in the institution. It is considered of great “importance that this work be ex- tended so as to meet the demands out- side the hospital in this section of the state. It is the policy of the state de- partment of health fo decentralize its la- boratory work and in this way emly in the opinion of these best qualified to judge can the demands of modern medicine and surgery be met. To arrange for an en- larged laboratory thoroughly equipped and provide for an expert pathologist who can give all the time necessary to the work will require a substantial addition to the -present laboratory fund. It is probable that such a laboratory capable of doing the work suggested would be- come self-supporting after a few years. It is possible that an arrangement could be made with the state hospital at Brew- ster's Neck to pay a poftion of the galary of an expert pathologist who would di- vide his time between the two institu- tions and we advised the state health de- partment might also assist in_this direc- tion. It is therefore probablé’ that such a laboratory when once established and equipped could be maintained from our present funds, Another pressiug need of the hospit: and in the opinion of the executive com- mittee quite as urgent any need at the present time is ap addition to the nurses' home. Onme of the most serious problems which now face all hospitals is how to attraet and maintain a nursing staff. A hospital cannot exist without efficient nmurses. The present accommo- dations for nuises at the Backus hospi- tal which necessitates crowding two or thaee persons into one small room are en- tirely inadequate. Under the existing conditions it can hardly be expected that nyrses can be obtained. As a matter of justice to those who are willing to d vote themselves to this serviee bysiness management home uld be substantially enlarged. In addition to the above there are nu- merous other improvements which must soon be made if the hospits] is to main- tain its place among institutions of this kind. Among these are additional rooms or employes, an addition to the present iet kitchen, more rooms for pivate and semi-private patients, a porch for con- valescent children, new dumb waiters and other essential replacement of equipment. A new ay machine has beem pur- chased and installed which’ will mean much to our hospital and the public. The funds to pay for this have been raised by the efforts of several chafitable and civie organizations and individupls dur- ing the last few years, the hospital pay- ing the small balance necessary to se- cure a thoroughly ‘up-to-date outfit. Our ambulance was destroyed by fire, but through the efforts of the Norwich Rotary elub funds have been raised to purchase a new one. In the meanwhile we are using an ambulance at first kind- Iy loaned us by the Lawrence Memorial Wospital of New London and recemtly purchased from them for a nominal sum, which will be used as an emergency ma- chine after the ndw ope Is In operation, .
