The number of admissions to hospital during June, July & August was much less than usual, this accounts for the smaller number of total admissions for the year. In order to economise labour "C" Block (comprising about 80 beds) was closed down during this period. By the 1st August the hospital was again working on normal lines with new servants—No striker was reinstated.
On 15th December H.E. Sir Cecil Clementi, the new Governor paid an official visit to the hospital.
