ANNUAL REPORT
It takes a doctor only a few minutes to write orders for laboratory work which may require two hours for a technician to perform. It is very discouraging for a technician to put in long hours of overtime and still find herself far behind in the work. The greatest need of the laboratory for 1944 is an assistant technician.
Respectfully submitted,
James H. Brewster, M. D. Pathologist
To the President and Board of Managers, Sturdy Memorial Hospital.
Gentlemen:
During the year 1943 the Department of Anesthesia has been able to main- tain its usual standards with little variation from former years.
There has been an increase in the number of spinal anesthesia. This we hope to increase in scope for a wider range of procedures, depending on the procurement of equipment, and assistance in gaining experience.
In November our Staff was again diminished by the departure of Dr. Leonard W. Hill who was commissioned in the U. S. Navy. His able assistance and ready response to all calls for his services will be sorely missed.
Dr. Battershall and I will attempt to carry on and we may at times have to call on members of the other hospital staffs to help out in anesthesia.
I wish to again extend the annual expression of thanks and appreciation to the Nursing and Surgical Staffs for their kindness and cooperation throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted
Frederick V. Murphy, M. D

The Hospital Aid Association has completed another year of service to the Sturdy Hospital. There have been three meetings held with Mrs. Frank Car- penter presiding.
The Purchasing Committee, headed by Mrs. Walter A. Briggs, has efficiently attended to the many necessities for the maintenance of the hospital.

The various church organizations and several individuals have generously given of their time in completing these things. There has been a total of 2,454 pieces made this year.
The response on Donation Day was gratifying and generous, as of previous years and a large amount of supplies was brought into the hospital through the canvas of the City and surrounding towns.

Report of the Custodian of Property
To His Honor the Mayor and the Honorable Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
The Custodian of Property acquired by the foreclosure of Tax Titles respect- fully submits a report of his activities during the year 1943.

Total
$ 6,165.00
The total assessed valuation for the foregoing parcels was $13,565.00. Two of the parcels were not assessed separately as they were parts of larger parcels still held by the City.
Only one parcel had buildings thereon, being the former Bliss Property on Peck Street. The amount received was the highest and best offer received and with the approval of his Honor, the Mayor, Mr. Marshall, City Treasurer, and myself, the property was sold as per the authority voted by the Honorable Muni- cipal Council.
The inability to procure building materials has necessarily curtailed sales of property. But I find that most of the foregoing parcels were sold to persons who have post-war plans to build homes.
Since many more persons are paying their taxes, very few parcels are being added to the list of property which is unproductive to the City and I am gradually reducing the amount which has been carried on the books for many years.
There are still many desirable parcels of land and every day there are requests and prospective customers are encouraged to buy.
In conclusion I wish to thank the Mayor, the City Treasurer, the individual members of the Board of Assessors, the Municipal Council and the Finance Com- mittee for the many courtesies extended during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
Henry Rotenberg, Custodian of Property acquired by the foreclosure of tax titles.

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Public Works Department
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Honorable Municipal Council
Gentlemen:
As requested, the report for 1943 will be brief in this second war year. The major work of the department has necessarily been maintenance, striving to keep our capital investments in fair repair in spite of the restrictions on purchase of material and parts, and with a very much depleted force. With these handicaps a creditable amount of work has been done, also many things not ordinarily re- quired, such as tin can and paper collections; Willett School field maintenance, Hayward Field grading, etc. have been carried along.
Our personnel has been reduced to much below a working minimum in all of our departments, but we are proud of the men who have answered the call for ser- vice and we extend our thanks to the faithful group who have stayed with us, casting aside the lure of war time wages.
The work in the Water Division has been mainly maintenance. A few new services have been installed by permission of the Federal authorities, each case re- quiring a separate application. Near the end of the year the regulations were eased and the Council voted one main line extension on Bliss Avenue for which the purchase orders have been placed, the material not having arrived at the end of the year.
This year has been a trying one for water supply due to two facts, ie; the high- est demand in the City's history due to war work and possibly war gardens, and an abnormal low rainfall. (See table of rainfall.)
Early in September the available supply of Hoppin Hill Reservoir was de- pleted and on September 22, 1943 the department started pumping from Orr's Pond back on the filters and continued to do so until November 8, 1943 when the flow in the river became sufficient to keep going. In all, 32,774,000 gallons were pumped back on the filters.
This all points to the fact that a new well at the Pumping Station is a neces- sity and should have early consideration this year.
The repair of the present standpipe and provision for building a new one of similar capacity, stressed by this department for several years, has been submitted to the Post War Committee as a major project for their consideration.
The dewatering of Hoppin Hill Reservoir brought to our attention a very nec- cessary repair job on the control gates. This would have been a very expensive job with a full reservoir requiring the services of divers. The gates are now in good repair with a minimum of cost.
The statistical records which we find are of particular value are recorded in the following pages, without comment. It is hoped that enough explanation is given in these records to guide those seeking data in the following years.
In conclusion I wish to express my full appreciation to His Honor, Mayor Mc- Intyre, the members of the Municipal Council, Department Heads and the Press.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert W. Mawney Superintendent of Public Works
