TUNG WAH HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. NO QUESTION OF CLOSURE
LTHOUGH the Tung Wah Hospital is passing
through a period of serious financial stringency, there is no possible question of the in- stitution closing down, said the Hon. Mr. R. A. C. North, Secretary for Chinese Affairs this morning, in an interview with a representative of the "China Mail"
The position at present is that unless the public comes forward and gives every support to the ap- peal for funds, it is more than likely that a large deficit on the year's working will have to be faced. A
conservative estimate of the Hospital's assets, however, shows them to be in the region of a mil- lion and a half dollars, and there is no foundation for any suggestion that the Tung Wah Hospital faces bankruptcy.
The following reasons were given by Mr. North as contributing to, the present financial diffienities: (1) Hospital becoming more effi
cient and so
costing more to *maintain.
(2) Increase in population, re- fugees etc., and so a large in- crease in patients.
de-
(3) Fall in mortgage interest and
and rents, resulting in crease in returns on invest ments.
(4) Fall in subscriptions owing to various demands, notably war charities.
