Hospital Funds Ask for Higher Subsidy at Ube Forbes District
At a district hospital meeting the directors urged the Hospitals Commission to grant an increased subsidy due to tight finances. Debits on the general fund stood at £148 5 5 with various credits and interfund balances, while revenue for the month totaled £423 8 8 including patient fees and government subsidies. The committee supplied requested details and the commission will consider the petition at the next meeting. The hospital also approved a loan increase from the Commercial Bank to cover renovations and repairs. An unrelated note mentions promised improvements to Western line ware types and box carriages.
