The peak in mortality rate, as stated, has come during the first 72 hours after admission of the patients to the hospital. If we deduct the 36 cases which died within 72 hours, we find that the work on the service is a credit to the physicians and the results prove the efficiency of their services. The co-operation of the physicians on the service, the advice given in consultation with members of the other services and the faithful and fruitful work done deserves our commenda- tion and appreciation. It is this co-operation and team work which has made possible the results.

ANNUAL REPORT
The physicians of the service owe much to the careful supervision of the Superintendent of the hospital and the nursing care given patients by our nurses. This supervision and care has played no small part i'n and have made possible the results of the year. Their service have proved valuable to the physicians on the service and we extend to them our appreciation for their work and co-opera- tion.

With each succeeding year the importance of Prenatal care in avoiding maternal and infant causulties becomes more apparent. Too much stress cannot be laid upon this necessity, every effort should be advanced to educate mothers of this need for their own and prospective babies welfare.
A yearly increase in number of patients evidences the necessity of increasing the capacity of our department. An addition to the south of the delivery room of a single room with ten or twelve beds for Ward Cases, releasing the present four-bed rooms for Private Ward patients, would solve the problem and smooth a source of disturbance created by two differing fees for the same beds; also it would create a room for Clinics which are surely coming in the near future.
Much is seen in medical literature regarding Caesarean births, with critical observations in small hospitals, their tendency to do unnecessary operations and the attendant high mortality. After twenty-five years it would seem apropos to tabulate the Caesareans done here in the last five year period for your com- parisons with not only small hospitals but large ones also.

With this five year record of less than 1% Caesarean births and no maternal deaths or deaths of any of the Caesarean babies, there is little to criticise as to frequency of Caesarean births and surely as to the mortality rate from this opera- tive procedure. Congratulations to our Surgical Staff.
The absence of infections, breast abscess or pelvic, continues as in past year, reflecting much credit, not only to the staff, but to the eternal vigliance of the nursing body and particularly to the watchful care and thoroughness of our supervisors.
My expression of sincere appreciation for the splendid cooperation of the Staff, the careful and excellent supervision, assistance and nursing. The harmony, cheerful helpfulness and prompt response of the Hospital Staff, Supervisors and nurses has resulted in many letters and kind expressions of appreciation from patients and an almost universal desire to return here should occasion arise.
Respectfully submitted, Joshua W. Clarke, M. D., Chief of Obstetrical Service.
To the President and Board of Managers,
Sturdy Memorial Hospital,
Attleboro, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The year 1938 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of the hospital.
While not formally organized as a separate service until some years later, the department of Anesthesia arranged in much the same manner as at present has had charge of all anesthetic procedures from the beginning. Ward patients as well as those admitted as private cases have at all times been under the care of a physician during all operative procedures.
185
ANNUAL REPORT
The wisdom of this course has been increasingly demonstrated, as the method of preoperative examination and medication and those of the actual administration of various anesthetic agents have become more and more widened in scope and application.
During 1938 the members of this department administered various forms of anesthesia on 1118 occasions with a minimum of complications and morbidity.
Dr. William M. Stobbs resigned from this service during the year. His ability and willing response whenever called will be greatly missed.
Dr. Leonard W. Hill has been appointed as associate in Anesthesia.
Gratitude and appreciation are again extended to the Executive and Surgical Staffs and to the Surgical and Operating-room Department heads and their assistants for their constant help and cooperation.
Credit and thanks are also due to Dr. Jesse W. Battershall for his continued service in upholding the standards of this department.
Respectfully submitted, Frederick V. Murphy, M. D., Chief of Anesthesia Service.
To the Board of Managers,
and Staff of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital:
Gentlemen :
The early history of our hospital shows that the laboratory was added as a very necessary part; essential to making a diagnosis on a patient. Little or no thought was given to the idea that it might pay for itself.
There was a short time, after I had taken over as pathologist, that the income almost approximated the expense. It has been our endeavor to perform those laboratory tests which have stood the test of time and which will give the greatest information to the doctor in charge of a case. This has been about all that a laboratory with one technician could hope to accomplish.
The increased use of blood transfusion in surgery and the sputum typing in pneumonia, the increase in the number of student nurses to be taught certain laboratory proceedures have thrown a heavy burden on our one technician and in spite of her extra hours of duty the work has accumulated. Blood typing is a very exacting work. No mistake can be made, and some cases have required from two to twenty typings in an effort to find a suitable donor.
In a few instances of pneumonia typing the attempt to find the type has caused our technician to perform tests for all of the thirty-two types.
Recently there have been requests for special tests with somewhat limited usefulness. No doubt these should be done, but how, when one technician is already over-burdened with the routine work can we add more. There has also been a request for more routine work on every patient which further complicates the situation.
There is no opportunity for a doctor to carry on any research problem.
To be sure, there are often a few weeks at a time when the work is light, but more often there are weeks of struggle to keep abreast of the demand.
186
ANNUAL REPORT
Relief must be had. Were a part time technician available, to be called in when needed it would answer our problem for a while. Another suggestion is to train a graduate nurse as a technician and when the work in the laboratory is light she would return to floor duty, but, the time is fast approaching when an- other technician will be a necessity.
We cannot expect the laboratory to pay its way, we cannot expect the patient to pay at the rate of a private laboratory fee. But by way of illustration, if a patient is taken to the operating room three times for a transfusion he pays three operating room fees and yet the laboratory which may have typed three different persons three different times, a total of nine in all, gets only a fixed fee. In my opinion we should do a generous amount for a fixed fee, but if our laboratory is to come anywhere near approaching a paying basis, an increased fee for those requiring an extraordinary and unusual amount of laboratory work should be added.
At the present time there is no laboratory charge for obstetric patients and yet the work from that side of the hospital is increasing. A recent survey of two weeks showed the following on twenty different patients: Urines 34, Hemo- globins 4, Red Blood count 4, White Blood count 3, Differential counts 2, Blood typings 4, Blood sugars 2. At least four of these twenty had an unusual amount of work done and should have paid a fee. Probably an admission urine on each obstetric patient should be done without the customary charge, but those having more than a minimum should pay a fee like those patients elsewhere in the hospital.
I have figured the work for 193S on the private fee basis as established for laboratory work at this hospital and at that rate we have done approximately $13,000.00 worth of laboratory work, while the receipts have actually been $1,321.50. Of course if these items are further taken down and analyzed it will not be quite as bad as the 10 to 1 ratio would indicate, but it seems as though there was an excellent opportunity to reduce this ratio.
Following is the summary of the work done in 1938:
Routine blood examinations. 3853

Special urine examinations 36

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HOSPITAL AID ASSOCIATION FOR THE YEAR 1937-1938
The work of the Hospital Aid Association during the season of 1937-'38 shows that Attleboro has supported its Hospital with even more loyalty and enthusiasm than in past years. All the committees have reported a most success- ful year; the Purchasing Committee, with Mrs. Harold Sweet, chairman, has spent much time and thought in spending their funds in such a way as best to help the Hospital; the Donation Day Committee, with Mrs. Leland Smith as chairman, reported even larger contributions from the public than the previous year; and the Sewing Committee, with Mrs. Arnold Reese as chairman, shows that the women of Attleboro and the surrounding towns have devoted hours of service to the sick of their communities.
There have been three meetings of the organization at which the standing committees have made their regular reports and the President, Mrs. Walter A. Briggs, has discussed with the officers and directors the needs of the Hospital and the nurses.
The outstanding event of the year was the celebration of the 25th anniver- sary of the founding of the Hospital, and the Association voted a sum of money to make more confortable the nurses' living room as a mark of their appreciation of the nurses' loyal service to the Hospital.
Respectfully submitted,
Alice Stobbs, Secretary.

NNUAL REPORT
Henri G. Proulx City Solicitor
Report of the City Solicitor
March 11, 1939.
To His Honor the Mayor and the Municipal Council:
In an annual report, it is customary to review the activities of the preceding year and to recommend those changes which will make for better understanding of the city's legal problems.
The number of conferences and consultations have not decreased during 1938, but rather have taken on a larger field, due principally to the inauguration of the Contributory Retirement System, which is fast becoming an important part of the work of this office.
