REPORT OF CITY HOSPITAL
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS
To His Honor the Mayor, the President and Members of the City Council :
GENTLEMEN: The Board of Managers of the Quincy City Hos- pital herewith submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1934.
We have included the departmental reports made by the heads of the several departments, showing the work accomplished by these various departments during the year.
Realizing the continuing necessity of keeping expenses to a minimum, only the most necessary additions to equipment were made during the year. We have, however, requested a substantial increase in the appropriation for the equipment for the coming year as replacements which have been delayed several years should be delayed no longer. The ambulance, now eight years old, is in very unsatisfactory condition and should be replaced.
In our report of last year we called your attention to the neces- sity of a new Administration Building, and inasmuch as the funds were not appropriated last year, the Board respectfully requests that in this year's building program provision be made for the erection of a new Administration Building.
The total operating expenses for the year 1934 were $332,931.80 compared with $298,188.52 in 1933. The substantial part of this increase is due to the rearrangement of salaries on the bases of the year 1932.
The receipts from patients in 1934 were $176,198.25, from other sources $4,636.24, a total of $180,834.49 as compared with a similar income of $159,905.24 for the year 1933.
The total number of patients treated were 5,738 as compared with 5,584 in 1933.
Mr. John H. Taylor resigned on his election to the School Com- mittee and Dr. Charles E. Herbert was appointed to fill the un- expired term.
To the Hospital Aid Associations and to all other individuals and associations who have assisted the hospital with work, gifts and donations, we express our heart-felt appreciation.

CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
During 1934 only one class of student nurses was admitted. Of seventeen who entered training in September, thirteen have been accepted.
The number of internes has been changed to five graduate men and will be increased shortly to six. During the winter months Tufts Medical School sends two students at a time for training in special fields. Two resident student internes have been replaced by graduate men.
The position of ambulance chauffeur was changed in July from one man on call twenty-four hours to two men working twelve hours each.
The hours for special nurses were reduced in July to eight hour shifts at $4.50. The hospital charge for nurses' meals was re- duced from $1.00 per nurse to 75c and later to 50c per nurse. Since this change more nurses have been kept busy with a decreased cost to many patients, who have employed one or two nurses in twenty- four hours.
A small waiting room for special nurses was provided on M&S III by remodelling an extra bath room. This room has been very useful, for visitors as well as nurses.
A waiting room for visitors has also been provided near the tele- phone switchboard. This is convenient for those who have to wait around the hospital at night.
The P. W. A. provided our children's ward with eleven oil paint- ings of subjects from Alice in Wonderland. While these paintings remain the property of the Federal Government we can keep them as long as they stay on our walls.
A six day week was established for all our regular employees, including nurses, during the year and seems to work satisfactorily.
We have had various E. R. A. workers throughout the year who have been helpful in many ways, especially with hand sewing.
New equipment has included two stoves in the main kitchen and a projector for the laboratory, which is helpful in teaching doc- tors and nurses.
In October we sent one of our laboratory technicians for a course of instruction to the State Health Laborotory. We are now a dis- tributing center for serum for pneumonia patients and qualified to type patients in a very few minutes. We have added a volun- teer technician because of the marked increase in the laboratory work which has developed in the last four months.
Impetigo which was something of a problem in the Maternity Department for a long time has been eliminated for the past year. The nurses and mothers have covered their mouths and noses when near the babies, and the doctors have worn masks and gowns.
MILDRED CONSTANTINE, Superintendent.
