$213.14 in 1914. The total income was $117,284 as against $103,500 in 1914. The large increase was due to the proceeds of a theatrical performance held by the four hospitals of which the Tung Wa Hospital received $16,618 (40%). If this be deducted, a decrease of rather less than $3,000 is shown in comparison with 1914, yet even so the total exceeded the expenditure by about $11,000.
Besides this large item in the increased receipts other items show increases, e.g.:--
Compensation from Government for land resumed... $4,100
Subscriptions, $500
Sale of medicines, etc., $1,100
but rent of hospital property, interest on balance, and premium on notes showed a falling off of about $6,200.
On the expenditure side repairs show an increase of close on $8,000 but economy was effected in almost all other details, and the item for construction of new mortuary ($3,736 in 1914) did not occur.
46. The total number of in-patients admitted during 1915 was 4,557, as compared with 4,472 in 1914, (4,706 in 1913), of whom 1,752 or 38.45% (as against 37.8% in the previous year) elected to be treated by European methods. The out-patients numbered 116,885 as against 102,158 in 1914 (107,395 in 1913) and of these 13,126 or 11.2% (as against 10% in 1914) chose European treatment.
47. The number of surgical operations performed was 208 as compared with 186 in 1914. There were also 98 Eye Operations performed as against 49 in 1914.
48. The number of destitutes temporarily housed and then sent to their homes was 777 (1,064 in 1914), most of whom were sent to the hospital from this office.
49. Of the charitable funds managed by the hospital, the Emergency and Man Mo Temple Funds (Tables X and XI) were administered on the same lines as in previous years and do not call for further comment, both showing a balance of receipts over expenditure for the year.
50. The balance sheet of the Brewin Charity as set out in Table XII is again very satisfactory. The investment in house property in Temple Street, Yaumati, mentioned last year has shown a good return; the rent received totalled $4,988.90, and the income for the year exceeded the expenditure by $2,175.
51. The amount expended in gratuities and pensions to deserving widows was $1,344 as compared with $1,060 in 1914 and $574 in 1913.
