Total number of Patients from the opening of the Hospital, Oct. 26, to Dec. 1, 16.
The Trustees have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of several very acceptable donations, contributing, some of them to the comfort, and others to the cheerfulness, of the wards of the hospital.
From Edward L. Davis, Pictures ; from Mrs. Geo. Thrall, Bed Linen ; from J. D. Chollar, Sofa Bed ; from Dr. Geo. A. Bates, Pictures : from Mrs. Charles A. Tenney, Pictures and Sick Chair ; from Kinnicutt & Co., Hardware ; from H. Woodward, Pictures.
Some of the above named articles are of the value of $30, or more, and whatever of them is least in a pecuniary point of view, deserves honorable mention here, as an evidence of kindly sym- pathy for those whom sickness or misfortune consigns to a public hospital.

Small sums, for board, &c., amounting in the aggregate to less than $25, have been received by the Trustees ; but this money, having been all appropriated toward defraying the incidental expenses, as set forth above, does not require to be more formally accounted for, in this place.
The estimated expenses of the hospital, on its present basis, for the coming year, is in round numbers, $6,000.
From the exhibit, above made of the number and character of the patients who have sought admission to this institution during the few weeks that it has been open, no further demonstration of the necessity of maintaining it can be reasonably required. Its wards are already occupied almost to their full capacity, and it is a more probable contingency that they may soon be crowded, than it is that a single one of them may remain vacant for any length of time. The Trustees, indeed, are not without appre- hensions that, before the close of the coming year, the accommo- dations may prove inadequate for the class of patients for whom, in a civilized community, it seems almost inhuman that no public provision should be made.
The future of the liospital will be what the City Council, in their wisdom, shall decide to make of it; but without over- stepping the limit of their authority, the Trustees may offer sug- gestions and recommend measures to the municipal government, while they cherish not unreasonable hopes of beneficent aid from private sources. In the exercise of this privilege, it may be added here, as an expression of the unanimous belief of this Board, that a hospital of a capacity for not less certainly than forty patients, pleasantly situated a little retired from the noise and bustle of the city, and substantially built after such a style of
40
-
304
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 26.
architecture as will admit of enlargement without disfigurement or interruption of occupation, is greatly needed in Worcester. It will be readily understood that an institution of this description, as compared with the present small establishment in the midst of the bustling uproar of the city, could be more economically managed for the treatment of its special class of patients, and would also at the same time afford extremely desirable accommo- dations for a considerable number of other unobjectionable persons, who would be able and willing to pay for their board, and whose admission would in no small degree, contribute to the successful, and especially to the economical, administration of the Hospital.
The conclusion at which the members of the Board have arrived, as above, is based partly on the experience of other cities where successful hospitals have been established, partly on the representations of physicians in this vicinity, but more par- ticularly and specially on the records actually kept, in 1870, by the city physician, Dr. Wood, for the purpose of making an approximate estimate of the number of cases annually present- ing themselves, as suitable for treatment in an institution like this.
Respectfully submitted for, and in behalf of the Trustees, F. H. KELLEY, President. GEORGE JAQUES, Secretary. Worcester, Dec. 1, 1871.

APPENDIX.
Among gentlemen of the medical profession in Worcester, the opinion has been for years gaining strength that a public hospital here would be a highly beneficent institution. Its actual establishment, however, appears until a recent date, to have been a dream rather than an object of reasonable hope. The annually increasing expenditures of the city in every other direc- tion had already grown oppressive, and there seemed to be slender grounds for any expectation that the timorous appeal of charity would make itself heard above the clamorous demands of public utility.
At length however, in January 1871, the City Council were induced to take into careful consideration the recommendation of Dr. Albert Wood, city physician, in his Annual Report for the year 1870, advising that a building large enough to accom- date at least twenty-five patients, and situated where it would be easily accessible, should be leased by the city, and furnished suit- ably for the occupation of an institution of the character of the present City Hospital.
The proceedings of the Board of Aldermen and of the Com- mon Council, in reference thereto, resulting in a petition to the General Court for authority to take such a step, will be found in the records of these two branches of the municipal government, for the period intervening between January 1st and May 25th, 1871. It is not, however, deemed advisable to enlarge this present document, by making extracts from these records, beyond what is embodied in the following joint Report, and the Ordi- nance, based thereon, which was subsequently adopted :

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
CITY OF WORCESTER, 1 IN CITY COUNCIL MAY 8, 1871. S
The Joint Special Committee of the City Council, appointed to consider and report upon the expediency of establishing a City Hospital, having carefully investigated the subject, respectfully beg leave to report as follows, viz :
The committee would call the attention of the City Council to the fact that at the present time no hospital establishment exists in Worcester, except that of the Sisters of Charity Hospital, on Shrewsbury street, which is so small and restricted in its opera- tions as to be of but little public importance.
Hospitals, or places where the sick and those disabled by acci- dent can resort for care and treatment, have been established and maintained in all countries from remote periods, and they are the type of the Christian civilization of any large community. There are but few cities in this country of the size of our own where there are not institutions of this kind supported either from public or private endowment. While we justly claim for Worcester respectable rank in our public schools, institutions of learning, public libraries, churches and various associations for the intellectual and moral culture of our people ; it must be acknowledged that we are sadly behind most other places in pro- viding for those amongst us who fall victims to disease, or are overtaken by accident, and whose circumstances and means are such as to oblige them to suffer lingering illness in scanty homes or crowded boarding houses, unattended by friends, and without the care and comfort to which they are entitled by the ordinary dictates of humanity.
The municipal authorities in times past have undoubtedly waited in anticipation that this want might be supplied by the liberality of some of our wealthy citizens. This indeed seems to be the only excuse for their not having before now, taken the matter in hand.
The late Deacon Ichabod Washburn realized the need of a hos- pital, and out of his princely fortune, provided in his will certain means for the establishment of such an institution ; but by neces- sary delay in the legal settlement of his estate, the committee are assured by the trustees of the fund that the city will not real- ize any benefit from this bequest for three, and possibly not for five years. It is moreover doubtful if such a hospital as is con- templated by the will can be established and maintained with the funds provided for it, and while the city in its corporate capacity is in no manner recognized by the testator, and while there
307
CITY HOSPITAL.
is no special provision or inducement for the city or individuals to contribute to its support, it is thought advisable by the trus- tees themselves, that the city should initiate this enterprise and make an appropriation at least for a temporary hospital without delay.
To purchase a proper site, to crect suitable hospital buildings for the present and prospective wants of Worcester, to put a model institution of the kind in successful operation, and to provide for its maintenance would require an expenditure that would not be warranted in the opinion of the committee, at the present time, however desirable it might be to have it. But after full consultation with the trustees of the Washburn hospital fund, and with many of the medical profession of the city, your com- mittee are unanimous in the belief that some plan should be devised to meet the present exigency, and afford at least tempo- rary relief. According to a careful estimate based upon infor- mation derived from some of our leading physicians, there are annually from two hundred to two hundred and fifty persons who would be proper subjects for hospital treatment, and who would gladly avail themselves of such advantages if provided for them. Calling the total number of admittances two hundred and twenty- five or the first year, with an average treatment of three weeks to each patient, would furnish from twelve to fifteen occupants constantly. To provide temporarily for this number in a com- fortable but inexpensive manner, would certainly not be a great burden upon the city. The cost of starting and supporting such an establishment for the year is estimated as follows :
Rent of some suitable dwelling house centrally located, $1000
Salary of man and wife to superintend the hospital, 600
Cost of furnishing and fitting up for 15 beds, 3000
Help and supplies for an average of from 12 to 15 patients through- out the year,
Contingencies, 400
5000
$10,000
It is recommended by the committee, That the sum of ten thou- sand dollars be appropriated as soon as the authority for the same can be had from the Legislature, if that be necessary, for the purpose of providing temporary hospital accommodations, free to such temperate and industrious persons residing in Worcester as may wish and deserve the same ; That the City Treasurer be directed to open an account under the head of City Hospital account, and charge said appropriation to such account ; That this money and all future appropriations for this object be put into the hands of seven Trustees to be expended by them under such general rules and regulations as shall be fixed by ordinance;
309
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 26.
That said trustees be elected by the City Council, one of them to be a member of the board of Aldermen for the time being, two to be members of the Common Council, and four to be selected from citizens at large. It is obvious that the objects of the proposed enterprise can best be attained by placing the detail of its man- agement in the hands of an executive board who shall be under the general control of the City Council. The precise object and management of a hospital can only be stated in this report in general terms ; while its benefits are intended to be free to those persons of temperate and industrious habits who by sickness or accident, require that care and attention for which they are unable to pay ; yet where there is the ability, there is no reason why a just and proper amount should not be received, to aid in meeting its expenses. Many patients or their friends would pre- fer to pay something in proportion to their means, to prevent the feeling that they were the objects of public charity. This senti- ment or desire of independence is strong among that class which the enterprise is designed to benefit ; and it is one which, as the great barrier to pauperism, cannot be too highly commended and encouraged. Hence we would not have a hospital for the reception of the degraded victims of vice and intemperance, or a home for the hopeless pauper ; but we would have it regarded as an asylum for the industrious and honest mechanic and laborer, who by sudden injury or disease, is temporarily prevented from laboring for the support of himself and family. We would have it a home to which may be sent, when struck down by sickness, the respect- able domestic whose attic chamber cannot be made comfortable, and who cannot receive the requisite attendance, however well disposed may be the family in which she resides. We would open its doors to the stranger overtaken by disease, when absent from friends and home, and to all others, among the various classes of society, who in sickness require that comfort and medi- cal advice which their means and homes cannot afford. It is confidently believed that if the City Council will assume the responsibility at this time, and initiate the enterprise upon the scale herein recommended, it will form a nucleus around which will grow a City Hospital that will eventually be the pride of all our people.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
