VICTORIA NURSES HOME AND ME Y KICK WAP-TDS. The annual meeting of subscribers of the Victoria Nurses' Home and Meyrick Wards was held on Thursday evening, when there were present: Mr. S. J. Allen (chairman), Ma s. Hill, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. llces, 1116. Trucott, and Miss McColl, the Rev. li. bond, Thomas, the Rev. R. C. Roberts, and Messrs. J. Gibby, T. John, D. Davies, H. A. Jones Lloyd, and A. Macintosh (hen. sec.). Before the business- of the meeting com- menced the Chairman mentioned that one of the members of the Ladies' Committee, Mrs. T. G. Hancock, had recently suffered a loss by the death of her sister. He proposed that a letter of condolence be sent to her.—This was carried, unanimously. The annual report and balance-sheet was then considered. Copies having been circulated amongst subscribers it was decidtd to take it as read. The seventh report wa,s as follows:— As will be seen from the annexed statement of accounts, which "has been duly audited, the income for the year amounted to £ 156 19s, 9d., and the expenditure to Z236 17s. 4d., being an excess on the year's working, which added to the overdraft of iEl3 3s. 5d. flom 1905, makes a 1otal deficit, of £83 Is, to commence, the new year with. The income is about £ 71 less than last year, but this is accounted for by the fact that no amount ie credited in the accounts as received from the annual eisteddfod, the accounts of which were not closed 1!1 t:me to iaciudo the balance in 1903 accounts. On the expenditure side the sum of £ 26 13s. is included as the cost of renovation to boac-d-rc-om and res-deatial po:tion of building. In tion the committee are greatly b.« <: C. Young, who gratuitously placed a teak ehaii rail around board-room and to staircase, thus adding to finish of building and protection of wall. After deducing the amount expended on renovations the exxjenditure is about the average of the ptrteceding three years. The number of patients treated in the wards during the year was fouitetn, of whom eleven were males and three were females. Two patients died in the wards, three remained under treatment on January 1; the remainder were discharged as cured or relieved, the average stay in the wards being about 24 days. The services of Nurse Eardley in out-door nursing cases continue to be appreciated. She has attended forty-three patients, paying upwards of 700 visits, and has paid in fees to funds (including arrears from p previous year) £28 8s. 6d., and a balance of iEl 14s. 6d. is left outstanding. Your committee are pkased to state that the benefits of the out-patients' tickets are being appreciated anl] utilised io a greater extent-fifteen patients having availed themselves of these tickets. Your committee desire to tender their cordial thanks to the medical staff for their valuable services, to Sir Thomas C. Meyrick for liberal support, to the ministers of religion for advocating the claims of the institution to their respective churches, to the needlework guild for grant of useful articles, to the trusteep of Dr. Jones's charity for their generous support, Mr. T. G. Hancock's pupils' concert, Messrs. Cory and ) Son, Cardiff, and others for their practical sup- port; to Mr. C. W. Lawrence and Mr. C. Mason for auditing the accounts. They also specially tender their thanks to all those who have during the past years worked so ass duousjy to make the annual eisteddfod a success and thereby a means of assisting the institution, and, although no amount is shown in the pre- sent balance-sheet as received from this source, it will be seen from the eisteddfod accounts printed herein that a substantial sum is forth- coming fiom this source to be included in the accounts for 1907." A ,;h(' repoit of the Eisteddfod Committee a.tid ;lie balance-sheets were also appended. In moving the adoption of the report, the Cha rman referred to the debit balance of £ E3. and sa:d that this was largely accounted for by the fact that they received no subscriptions, or very few .sulx cr ptions, toward the maintenance fund. People had inslcad subscribed indirectly through the eisteddfod which had been held. With regard to the oui-patients, it was most gra iiiymg to be able to say that the people were now taking full advantage of this branch of the work, and this year the demand for t; diets had been greater than the supply. People had been sent, from pillar to post for t cke-s. In pre vious yea, i. had been an ea?;. -a ter for people to ob:ain tickets, but las y' .is Lie as his exper.cnce went, many appn cations had been made for which they Coll,!(! git no ticke": They ws-re thankful, of course. -.0 o had < -isted them, and he mi-il moat.oa the places of worship where collection? \v. e iétde on behalf of the institution, and taeir k brought before the public. As t'-g.rt'ii d i he patients who had been admitted durirg the year they numbered fourteen, but, unfortunately, there were two deaths. In con- clusion, Mr. Allen refeocred to the services of i.r.'dk y, and said that during the past y-ar lie had made something like 700 visits to s_ii. 1.1 y- hree patn-iito, and had earned £ 21 L ;Kiv.2,te fees. Mr. T. Davies seconded. rv:\ejfal questions were then asked by Mi. John and o.her gentlemen with regard to the v, ay which the balance from the eisteddfod acj.ou:i:s were dealt with. The hon. secretary o :>la:n.l that there was' a bajanco of £98 lis. 2(1. from The 1906 eisteddfod. This was no: inducted in the acounts, but should really lw, and it would transform the debt* balance ot 1". to a credit balance* of £ 15 10s. 2d. in i .1.. :¡l!I £-2:. d -c.:> l(.

He thought ha: much had been accomplished, and much hue lL a "G" to help the sufferers. r i,. g. hi ■i.^y iio loss a sum than £ 1,397 had actua'.h be- n expended in that ins itut 0:1, ad now ihi-v in a substantial financial position notwi'h- standing the frt that in 1904 £ 1?0 was spen' in building ano'liei- wk g. he cal cula'cd that th y had saved the nursing m- i tion a sum of L115 by providing acecrT.,inio-ia- tion fo: the nurses, and added 7' during the trn N- -a s th"y had had n'neiy-four patunts. They had treated pi ople with all manner of (I, nplain's. and had sent them out s,tored.. Thty lind had only four dea h3, and he thought that was not a bad percentage. He thought that had they spent double the amount they had the foundation of that institution had been abundantly justified, and he hoped thai it \ou'd continue. to prosper. The next business was the election of officials. The whole of the committee was re-elected en h'o, and then the names of the Rev. B. Bond Thomas, Messts. T. Davies, T. Morgan, T. Rees, a"d P. Morgan were also added. Upon the proposition of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. T. Davies, Mr. Williams was re-elected ladies secretary, and upon the pro- po-.it'o-n of the Rev. R. C.
