48. On the expenditure side, the items for light, passage money, and repairs to the Hospital property show decreases, and those for insurance and sundries, increases. The item for the repairs of the Mortuary rises from $315 to $8,618 and the influence of the smallpox epidemic is seen in the fall of the Small-pox Hospital expenses from $3,215 to $933.
49. The total number of in-patients admitted during 1918 was 6,329 as compared with 5,089 in 1917 and 5,248 in 1916. Of these 2,222 or 35.10% (as against 38.47% in the previous year) elected to be treated by European methods.
The out-patients numbered 129,769 as against 133,884 in 1917 (133,022 in 1916) and of these 10,167 or 7.83% (as against 12.6% in 1917) chose European treatment.

51. The number of destitutes temporarily housed and then sent to their homes was 534 (1,115 in 1917), most of whom were sent to the Hospital from this office.
52. Of the charitable funds managed by the Hospital, the Emergency Fund (Table X) does not call for comment. The Man Mo Temple Fund shows an excess of expenditure over receipts of $44. Almost every item, both of revenue and expenditure, shows a decrease.
53. The balance sheet of the Brewin Charity as set out in Table XII shows that the income for the year exceeded the expenditure by $2,217.
The amount spent in gratuities and pensions to deserving widows was $2,177 as compared with $1,908 in 1917 and $1,772 in 1916. Further grants are under consideration.

55. The total number of out-patients treated was 33,085 as against 32,488 in 1917, and of these 21,626 elected to receive European treatment. This gives a percentage of 65.3 as against 67.3 in 1917 and 67.2 in 1916.
