would suggest, however,
that if possible the agreement

made
for five years, frequent changes in the Nursing Staff of a hospital being
most inconvenient.
The
proposed Staff numbers give
six instead of five as at present. This the Superintendent thinks necessary owing
to the increased number of admissions to the Hospital. The increasing popularity
of the Private Wards is evidenced by the fact that during the past year the accommodation of this class was found
quite insufficient for the demands made upon it.
The scheme, if adopted, will entail an
increased
expenditure of One thousand and sixty-eight dollars in the first year, and
$60.
