REPORT ON THE SAMARITAN FUND 1.4.63—31.3.69

D. G. BarTON, Director of Audit.

Heavy calls on the Find with reulting expenditure in excess of income for the past three years called the balzore of the accumcisted fund to be reduced to as low as 53,406.58 on 1st Aprli 1968. It was therefore necessary during the year under review to seriously curtail expenditure to ecture not only that the Fundi remained solvent, but to attempt to build up again a small rosirve against a shortfil in donations. In spite of this, It was found possible to assist some 2,143 nesdy patients to the extent of a total of $33,631.00. The main purposes for which assistance is given to needy patienu are for Marsportation to hospitals sod dinis to maħle them to obtain cæsential medical treatment, assistance with payment of rent, school foes, etc Small monetary grants are also made to masiet needy parents in the purchase of clothing, toilet decessities and Food fup mira nourishment after discharge froša hospital. The Samaritan Fund is entirely dependent oa volusmiy donations and receives no apaistance whatsoever from public funds,
