abour per centage contracts favorably with the death per centage 9.06 of the new Scamm's Hospital established by private subscription under the most favorable auspices, because only ordinary cases of illness are there, and the admissions are generally received in early stages to afford these patients a fair chance of recovery. Cases where the patient has no chance of recovery have been transferred to the Civil Hospital, so the death rate at the latter institution is increased.

I am therefore most anxious to adopt the suggestions of the Committee to whom I referred the question connected with the enclosed Ordinance, by securing an excellent and spacious central site, which they have recommended, elevated and in a healthy position, accessible from three sides and having only one drawback, namely the cost of the site.
